Adding more fruit and vegetables to your plate doesn’t have to be complicated. In its guide “How to Eat More Fruit and Vegetables,” the American Heart Association reminds us that small, practical swaps can add up to meaningful health benefits — and that getting started can be as simple as changing how you shop and plate your meals.

One straightforward tip: embrace frozen produce. Frozen fruits and vegetables are convenient, often just as nutritious as fresh, and make healthy choices easier to keep on hand. The AHA even gives easy examples you can reach for — grapes, peas or sliced bananas — showing that tasty, ready-to-eat options are within arm’s reach.

Another concrete, high-impact habit is how you compose your dinner plate. The AHA recommends filling half your plate with vegetables and/or fruit at dinner. That visual rule makes it simple to boost the proportion of plant foods in any meal without needing to count portions or overhaul recipes.

Together, these small changes — keeping frozen produce available and making half your plate fruits and vegetables at dinner — are realistic steps that help unlock the wider health benefits the AHA highlights from eating more plant foods. If you’re looking to eat healthier, start with these manageable moves and build from there.

Oil prices are rising again, and Asia is feeling the pressure—yet not in a single, uniform way. A new analysis from ING Think argues that the region’s heavy dependence on Middle Eastern oil leaves it exposed to prolonged supply disruptions, even as the near-term inflation risks appear “largely manageable.”

That tension—vulnerability on one side, resilience on the other—sits at the heart of Asia’s outlook under higher oil prices. The article points to a familiar regional reality: many Asian economies are major energy importers, and when crude prices climb, it quickly filters into transportation, manufacturing costs, and household budgets. The worry isn’t just the headline price of oil; it’s the potential for sustained shocks to supply that can keep energy costs elevated and unpredictable.

At the same time, ING’s assessment suggests that the inflation story may not automatically spiral out of control. “Manageable” doesn’t mean painless, but it does imply that policymakers and consumers may be better positioned than in past episodes to absorb higher energy costs—at least for now.

Still, the article’s framing is clear: the bigger strategic risk for Asia is how concentrated its exposure remains. As long as the region relies so heavily on Middle Eastern oil, it will be forced into a recurring cycle of reacting to geopolitics and supply disruptions rather than steering its economic trajectory with confidence.

In other words, higher oil prices don’t just test Asia’s inflation outlook—they test the region’s energy security assumptions. And according to ING Think, that’s the fault line worth watching as the next phase of the global energy landscape unfolds.

Mandai Wildlife Reserve has unveiled some of its upcoming attractions, announcing plans that include an eco-friendly resort and a set of new nature-inspired experiences. The May 13, 2024 report highlights that Mandai is expanding beyond its current parks to offer fresh ways for visitors to connect with wildlife and the outdoors.

Today Mandai comprises four well-known wildlife parks: the Singapore Zoo, the Night Safari, River Wonders and Bird Paradise. The latest announcement signals a deliberate push to broaden the visitor experience—adding overnight stays and immersive programmes designed with nature at the centre.

For locals and travelers who already visit Mandai’s parks, the new resort and experiences promise an opportunity to stay longer and engage more deeply with the Reserve’s conservation and visitor offerings. While full details and opening timelines were not provided in the report, the move underlines Mandai’s continued evolution as a destination for wildlife encounters in Singapore.

Keep an eye on official Mandai announcements for specifics on the eco-resort, the types of nature-inspired activities that will be offered, and when these new experiences will be available to the public.

A thread on the n8n community forum (started Aug 18, 2023) captured a question many developers and automation architects have been wrestling with: can you convert visual n8n workflows into code — JavaScript or Python — so they can be committed, tested, and maintained like regular software?

The original poster, hdotking, explained the motivation plainly: n8n’s low-code designer is great for building automations quickly, but as workflows grow and teams scale, testing, maintenance, and source control become essential. The idea was to export or convert existing workflows into actual code to enable robust tests, follow software engineering best practices, and keep everything in version control.

The community response was thoughtful and mixed. On one hand, n8n staff acknowledged there wasn’t a built-in way to do a direct conversion at the time and passed the idea to the feature-requests area — signaling it’s a direction people are interested in. Several replies encouraged the discussion: turning no-code work into code could be valuable for adding capabilities later and for larger teams.

On the other hand, contributors raised real technical caveats. A key point: exporting a workflow as code would mean you’d be testing the exported artifact, not necessarily the exact runtime behavior inside n8n — so the benefits of testing the code might not map perfectly back to what n8n actually executes. That mismatch could limit how useful a straight conversion would be for guaranteeing production correctness.

Practically, the forum also highlighted existing workarounds. You can persist workflows to git by using the API and automation (for example, pulling workflows and committing them with a GitHub node). And while some git-based features are available, fully integrated git tooling in cloud-hosted n8n may require higher-tier or enterprise options. Community members pointed out these approaches let teams at least get workflows into version control even without a native “export to code” button.

The thread captured the tension at the heart of many no-code platforms: visual editors accelerate iteration and democratize automation, but teams still need the guarantees, tests, and provenance that come with code and version control. The topic drew interest and suggestions but was eventually closed automatically after 90 days without a native conversion feature being added in that thread.

If nothing else, the discussion is a useful snapshot of a community trying to bridge two worlds — the speed and accessibility of visual automation and the rigor of software engineering — and it makes clear why a well-designed conversion or tighter git integration would be a compelling feature for many n8n users.

Singapore’s indie arts enclave at 195 Pearl’s Hill Terrace (195 PHT) has been granted more time.

According to the article, the lease for the state property—described as a creative art and culture enclave—has been further extended until March 2028. This is a significant reprieve, as the lease had originally been slated to end in March 2025.

The extension offers a measure of breathing room for the community that has been making use of the space, and it underscores the ongoing attention on Pearl’s Hill as a neighbourhood in transition—where arts and culture uses are continuing for now, even as the broader area is associated with new public housing plans.

For visitors and supporters of 195 PHT, the headline takeaway is simple: the enclave isn’t disappearing in 2025 after all, and it will remain in place—at least through March 2028.
