Napanoch, United States - October 7, 2023 /PressCable/ —

Many of Sarah James' clothing pieces celebrate the vibrant and colorful art found in the streets of Lower East Side, So Ho, No Ho, and Chinatown. The latest - called "Rock The Bloc" - features an alien DJ with seven arms.

The new release exemplifies the artwork that Sarah discovers on her walks through the city. She explains that the pandemic has changed the area in many ways, but the soul of creatives can still be seen - demonstrating the pursuit of their dreams through colorful graffiti pieces.

With roots going back to the 1970s, graffiti became a defining characteristic of New York City street culture. What started as territorial markings evolved into elaborate displays of artistry and social commentary.

Graffiti gained mainstream acceptance in the 1980s in part due to artists like Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, who brought their stylized creations into galleries. Today, authorized graffiti walls and commissioned murals reflect graffiti's acceptance as a legitimate art form - and the T-shirt range aims to honor this progression.

Made from 100% cotton, the T-shirt is soft, lightweight, and easy to clean and care for. The crewneck cut provides a relaxed fit, while the durable fabric withstands repeated washings. Customers can choose from a range of colors to complement individual styles, with available options including black, red, blue, purple, grey, pink, and green.

Sarah notes that the alien character celebrates the welcoming, creative spirit of the East Village art scene and the overall design promotes themes like joy, connection, and freedom of expression.

Ranging in size from XS to XL, the shirts cater to diverse body types. Customers can shop for this new release exclusively through the Sara James Jazz Merch online store and all purchases are secured through PayPal, Visa, and Mastercard.

A spokesperson states: "Sarah is a composer, songwriter, producer and lyricist. At present, she is also working on an independent documentary on jazz singers and more info will be on these pages about that coming soon."

Eldrew Yulo captures bronze in Asian Games debut

ANILA, Philippines — Karl Eldrew Yulo, the younger brother of Olympian gymnast Carlos Yulo, made sure to also bring home a medal as he secured the bronze medal in the men’s horizontal bar at the 2026 Asian Games on Friday at the Nagoya City General Gymnasium (Rainbow Hall). Yulo, 18, the youngest among the eight finalists, scored 13.666 points (5.0 in difficulty and 8.566 in execution) to place third in the field. Nobody was expecting Yulo to make the podium after a ninth-place finish in the preliminary round. The younger Yulo used the Cassina and Kolman in his sleek routine, ending his performance with a clean dismount. The Cassina, named after Igor Cassina, is a horizontal bar move where a gymnast does a double backward flip with a full twist, while the Kolman, named after Aljoz Kolman, is a double backward flip with a full twist.  Yulo and Kazakhstan’s Milad Karimi were both tied at 13.666 points, and when this happens, the execution points will serve as a tiebreaker. Milad tallied a 5.8 difficulty and 7.766 execution. China’s Hao Tian captured the gold with 14.700 points, while Shinnosuke Oka earned the silver with 14.033 points.

Adamson shoots down Lyceum in straight sets in SSL Unity Cup

MANILA, Philippines — Adamson University bucked a shaky start and found its rhythm in time to fend off Lyceum of the Philippines University, 29-27, 25-21, 25-18, in the 2026 Shakey’s Super League (SSL) Unity Cup on Friday at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum. The Lady Falcons displayed maturity and resolve after the Lady Pirates put up a tough challenge in the first two frames before Adamson cruised in the third set to begin their Pool D campaign on a winning note. Joy Aseo finished with eight points on six kills, one kill block and an ace while Red Bascon, Abegail Segui and Third Tuddao added seven markers each for Adamson in the opening day of the league’s centerpiece competition, backed Shakey’s Pizza Parlor, Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken, Potato Corner and R&B Milk Tea. Frances Mordi posted six points, Janna Dizon got five while Kamille Dionisio scored four of her five markers on kill blocks for the Lady Falcons, who gave ace spiker Shaina Nitura more time to rest after a grueling tour of duty for Alas Pilipinas in the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. Fully adjusted after a scary extended first set and surviving a tight closing stretch of the second, Adamson raced to a 5-0 lead in the third and widened the gap to 19-9 on its way to victory in the one-hour, 40-minute match.    “Bad start talaga sa aming lahat and alam namin sa sarili namin yun. Habang nasa labas (ng court) nag-reflect kaming lahat. Isang adjustment rin namin ay maging alive and mag-smile sa game,” Tuddao said. Adamson was sluggish in the opening frame and played catch-up. The Lady Falcons saved three set points before Mordi landed an ace to put Adamson on top, 25-24. Back-to-back errors by Aseo surrendered the set point advantage to Lyceum, 27-26. Adamson exploited Ashley Muchillas’ costly service error, putting the set away with a Mordi off-speed hit followed by an Aseo kill. Adamson shattered a 20-20 second set deadlock with a closing 5-l run to take a 2-0 match lead. The Lady Falcons return to action on October 9 against University of the Philippines. Muchillas paced the Lady Pirates with 13 points on 12 kills and a kill block while Roxie Dela Cruz and Sarah Lumbang added six and five points, respectively. Lyceum will try to bounce back on Sunday against University of the East.   Meanwhile, action continues Saturday with another triple-header after the 11 a.m. opening ceremony of the tournament supported by Smart, PusoP.com, Summit Natural Drinking Water, with the Philippine Sports Commission, Commission on Higher Education, Mikasa, Asics, Rigour Technology, Jersey Haven, Solar Sports and 12 Beyond Production as technical partners. Five-peat-seeking National University battles San Beda University at 5 p.m. in Pool A. Last year’s runner-up University of Santo Tomas debuts opposite College of Saint Benilde at 1 p.m. in Pool B while FEU and Ateneo De Manila University square off at 3 p.m. in Pool C.  All games are available live and on demand via PusoP.com and Solar Sports.
