Chicago – October 14, 2026 -- Beltone's third annual Hear2End Hunger Food Drive collected 20,640 non-perishable food items in September for local food banks and hunger-relief organizations across the United States. The total beat the 20,000-item goal and is more than 41% higher than the 2025 haul.

Nearly 40,000 items have been donated since 2024

The month-long drive ran during Hunger Action Month and is organized through Beltone Hearing Centers. Collections have grown every year since the program launched in 2024. Hearing care professionals, patients and neighbors all contributed.

Beltone Hearing President David Molella said the effort began as a way for the centers to give back and has become "truly special."

Three hearing centers earn extra donations for local groups

The Beltone Foundation is adding $4,500 in donations to recognize the three centers that collected the most food:

Dallas – September 30, 2026 -- Slate Auto is letting buyers of its $24,950 pickup wrap their vehicle in Monster Jam livery, starting today with two new accessory Starter Packs.

Two designs bring arena spectacle to daily driving

The purple and green Grave Digger Starter Pack draws on the famous monster truck's colors, while a black and yellow Monster Jam Starter Pack reflects the motorsport series' branding. Each pack includes a full vehicle wrap, wheel wraps, a grille logo wrap, and decals, built for the Slate Truck's factory design as the first vehicle intended to be wrapped from the ground up.

Buyers can mix individual pieces instead of full kits

Slate is also selling standalone accessories: a two-piece decal set, a five-piece Slatelet set combining Monster Jam and Grave Digger icons, and key fob caps in either logo. Customers can order the Starter Packs outright or assemble their own combination of pieces.

Warsaw – September 16, 2026 -- Nocpix has launched the ACE 2 Series, a new flagship lineup of thermal riflescopes that includes three models: the ACE 2 S60R, ACE 2 H50R and ACE 2 H35R.

Hybrid zoom pairs optical and digital magnification in one system

The ACE 2 introduces what Nocpix calls Ocular Zoom 2.0, blending optical and digital magnification through a single zoom ring. As users adjust magnification, the interface and reticle adjust in tandem to keep key details visible. The scopes offer 60mm of eye relief and a 10mm exit pupil, aimed at reducing eye strain during long observation sessions.

Warsaw – September 10, 2026 -- Nocpix, a developer of outdoor electro-optical imaging technology, has unveiled the next generation of its flagship thermal riflescope, aimed at professional hunters who demand sharper detail and faster decision-making in the field.

The new scope builds on a traditional tubular platform

The upcoming model combines Nocpix-developed thermal sensors, high-performance optics and eyepiece zoom within a classic tubular scope design. Select versions will also integrate a laser rangefinder and ballistic calculation tools, continuing a feature set the company has expanded since the series' first generation.
