Stars Are Aligning With The New Orient Star M34 F8 Date
Orient Star has released two new M34 F8 Date models from the Contemporary Collection M34, featuring dial designs inspired by the Perseid meteor shower and a state-of-the-art high-performance movement mounted with a silicon escape wheel.
One model is made using a world-first nanoparticle metal multilayering technology on a watch dial, a black dial limited to 160 pieces, while the other has a newly added green-coloured dial. The beautiful designs that express the vast depths of space enhance the appeal of Orient Star's flagship model.
Contemporary Collection M34, inspired by the constellation Perseus with numerous meteors lighting up the night sky, offers the most diverse Orient Star line-up. The M34 F8 Date is a top-tier flagship model that showcases Orient Star's in-house watchmaking using advanced technologies.
The M34 F8 Date features a classic design with three central hands, a date display at 3 o'clock, and a power reserve indicator at 12 o'clock. The limited-edition black dial showcases the Perseid meteor shower using world-first nanoparticle metal multilayering technology. This innovative technique layers ultra-fine metal particles to create a deep, intricate design, while the hairline and mirror-finished hands and diamond-cut date window add contrast and dynamism to the dial.
The green dial model features intricate stamped patterns inspired by the Perseid meteor shower. Using in-house developed optical multilayer film technology, the colours and patterns shift beautifully depending on the viewing angle, creating a deep-space effect that normal painted dials can't replicate.
Each dial is crafted at the Dial Studio of the Shinshu Watch Studio in Nagano, Japan, where expert artisans handle everything from surface finishing to hand crafting, bringing Orient Star's high-precision designs to life.
The M34 F8 Date features the in-house automatic calibre F8N64, equipped with a silicon escape wheel, a signature Orient Star technology. It offers impressive accuracy (+15/-5 seconds per day) and a 60-hour power reserve. The movement, with its chamfered Geneva stripes, sparkles through the see-through sapphire crystal case-back.
The M34 F8 Date also features a dual-curved sapphire crystal with anti-reflective SAR coating, a 40mm case inspired by Perseus, and a comfortable, durable stainless steel bracelet (SUS316L). With water resistance up to 10 bar, this timepiece combines stunning aesthetics with practical everyday functionality.

FDA: More cucumbers, ready-to-eat products recalled in growing salmonella outbreak
A Maryland food company has recalled specific salsa and cucumber products because they were made with cucumbers that are possibly contaminated with salmonella. TGD Cuts, LLC of Jessup, Maryland, is recalling some tub and tray products because they contained cucumbers from Boynton Beach, Florida-based Bedner Growers Inc., which have been linked to a salmonella outbreak. TGD Cuts distributed the affected products, which included salsas, sliced cucumbers and cucumber spears, to retail and foodservice locations in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and North Carolina, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The products had use-by dates ranging from May 20 to May 28 and are unlikely to be in stores or being used. No illnesses have been reported in connection with the products, the FDA said. Egg recall: Brown eggs sold at some Walmart stores have salmonella risk The initial May 19 recall involved cucumbers sold directly to consumers at Bednar's Farm Fresh Market, according to notices published May 19 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the FDA. Subsequent recalls have been announced by grocers such as Harris Teeter, Kroger and Walmart for repackaged cucumbers for resale under different brand names or those used in ready-to-eat products, including vegetable trays and salads. The cucumbers, distributed by Fresh Start Produce Sales of Delray, Florida, also led to Target recalling individual cucumbers on May 30, specifically cucumber two-packs and various prepared foods products. In addition to the growing cucumber-related recall, other products have been recalled recently for potential salmonella contamination. The FDA on May 28 upgraded a recall of tomatoes distributed in three southern states to a Class I recall, meaning consumption of the food could cause serious health complications or lead to death. Then, on June 6, the CDC and FDA linked brown eggs sold in nine states – including at some Walmart stores – to an ongoing Salmonella Enteritidis outbreak, in which 79 people have been sickened and at least 21 hospitalized. Customers who purchased any products from TGD Cuts should get rid of them or return them for a full refund. Here is the list of products recalled due to a possible salmonella risk. Item UPC Use By Date Salsa, Hot 6/12 oz. 840219170534 5/25/2025 Salsa, Mild 6/12 oz. 840219170541 5/25/2025 Salsa, Mild 5lb. 840219140445 not available Salsa, Mild 5lb. 840219140445 5/28/2025 Cucumber Sliced/Grape Tomato 50/2 oz. 840219184784 5/23/2025 Cucumber Sliced Unpeeled 5lb. 840219160733 not available Cucumber Sliced Unpeeled 50/2 oz. 840219170657 5/19/2025 Cucumber Spears 50/2 oz. 840219179971 5/19/2025 Salmonella poisoning causes about 1.35 million illnesses, 26,500 hospitalizations, and 420 deaths each year in the U.S., according to the CDC and FDA. Symptoms, which include diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps, will usually occur six hours to six days after exposure and may last up to seven days. Symptoms from severe infections may include aches, headaches, elevated fever, lethargy, rashes, and blood in urine or stool. Mike Snider is a reporter on USA TODAY's Trending team.

Looking at 4 wings Boston Celtics could pick in 2025 NBA Draft
For now, the Celtics' next agenda of the offseason is the 2025 NBA Draft. They hold the No. 28 and No. 32 picks in the upcoming draft, set for June 25-26. So they'll have some options at the end of the first round and the top of the second. The C's could end up making some trades like they've done in the past, but for now, they're armed with two draft picks. MassLive already looked at four potential guards who could be around when the Celtics are on the clock for the draft. Advertisement Now, here's a closer look at four potential wings the Celtics could pick: Drake Powell, North Carolina 2024-25 stats: 7.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 25.5 minutes in 34 games. Shot 48.3% from the field and 37.9% on 3-pointers. There was some thought that Powell could return to college, but he was firm in that he was staying in the NBA Draft process. Powell was a one-and-done product after playing a single season with the Tar Heels as he won't turn 20 until later this year. The counting stats don't pop off the page as took just 5.7 shots per game at North Carolina. However, he had some eye-popping numbers coming out of the draft combine. Powell was measured with a 7-foot wingspan. Notably, he also came in at 37.5 inches standing vertical leap and his max vertical leap was 43 inches. Advertisement The athleticism and defensive potential are both there. His 3-point shooting number looks solid, though it was only on 2.6 attempts per game, and he shot 64.8% on free throws. Still, that's an intriguing prospect at this point in the draft. Adou Thiero, Arkansas 2024-25 stats: 15.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 27.5 minutes in 27 games. Shot 54.5% from the field and 25.6% on 3-pointers. Thiero comes in with some versatility and a solid frame as he was measured in at 6-foot-6 with a 7-foot wingspan. He's an athletic wing and slasher who could fit well with the Celtics. He started his career at Kentucky for the first two years before transferring to Arkansas, where he was a major contributor. He turned 21 last month, so he's not a super old prospect. Advertisement The knock on him is his shooting as that's just not a part of his game at this point. Thiero does a lot of things well but that's the one area the Celtics would like to see some improvement if they go this route. Thiero also shot 68.6% on 6.5 free throw attempts per game last season, so that doesn't look super promising there either. Hugo Gonzalez, Real Madrid (Spain) 2024-25 stats: 5.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, 0.9 assists in 14.8 minutes in 60 games in Liga ACB, per EuroBasket. Shot 44.5% from the field and 28% on 3-pointers. Gonzalez is one of the more intriguing prospects of this draft considering his age and where he's playing. Gonzalez just turned 19 years old and already playing for Real Madrid. He didn't get much playing time at the beginning of the year, though he's seen some more recently. Advertisement One thing about Gonzalez is that he can't go through predraft workouts because Real Madrid just started its playoff run. Considering it's the No. 1 seed, the playoffs could go for a while ahead of the draft. There's a lot to like about his game on both sides of the court, though he'll need to grow into his frame. But considering his age, there's some intrigue there too for NBA front offices. Alex Toohey, Sydney Kings (Australia) 2024-25 stats: 10.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 22.9 minutes in 30 games, per the NBL. Shot 45.2% on field goals. Toohey was committed to Gonzaga but elected to stay closer to home in Australia, where he's developed into a potential NBA draft pick. He was measured in at nearly 6-foot-8 at the draft combine with a 6-foot-11 wingspan. So he brings size and had a maximum vertical leap of 31.5 inches. Advertisement Toohey has shown he can get out in transition but shooting is another question mark. He turned 21 years old last month, so he's not super young but also not that old. Will need to bulk up a bit more to play in the NBA game but can be a versatile defender with his frame. More Celtics content Read the original article on MassLive.
