You may have heard of the term feng shui, a traditional Chinese practice of arranging your home’s furniture and decor to promote harmony, balance and peace. The way you decorate your home can have a positive or negative impact on your mood. It turns out the same goes for the color of your paint. While we commonly just look at paint colors as a design choice, hues and shades have the power to influence feelings that directly impacts our mood. There’s a good reason why you may be attracted to certain colors more than others.

Minnesota State University conducted a study with 30 first-year college students to demonstrate the effect of red room colors on stress levels compared to green room colors. The results showed that when placed in a red room, participants reported higher feelings of stress than those who spent their time in the green and white rooms.

According to WebMD, green can boost positive emotions and weaken negative ones. White also seems to have a similar effect. On the other hand, red is linked to failure and danger, provoking more negative emotions. Considering we spend so much time in the bedroom, utilizing the power of paint color in this space can be beneficial for your emotional well-being, sleep and overall mental health.

Here are the best (and not so great) paint colors to use in your home.

First Evidence of Orcas Hunting and Eating Great White Sharks Seen in Drone Footage

Frequent readers of CNET Science will remember Port and Starboard, the duo of killer whales from a story we published in June, which detailed research showing great white sharks were being hunted by the whales off the coast of South Africa. New aerial footage, released on Monday, shows one member of the murderous pair — Starboard — actually making a kill.

The footage was released on YouTube as part of a new study, led by Alison Towner, published on Oct. 3 in the journal Ecology. Towner also led the earlier study which used tracking and sensor data to show the great white sightings had plummeted as the killer whales moved in. The researchers hypothesized, from evidence found on shark carcasses, that killer whales were hunting the great whites and any surviving sharks had quite literally been scared away from the area.

The new aerial footage, captured by a private drone operator and a helicopter pilot’s Samsung S21, seems to confirm this and is the first direct evidence of orcas killing and eating great white sharks. It was captured in May at Mossel Bay, South Africa, and some footage had previously been released via the Discovery Channel.

“This behavior has never been witnessed in detail before, and certainly never from the air,” said Towner, who works as a senior shark scientist at Marine Dynamics Academy in Gansbaai, South Africa.

The photographs and video show some interesting maneuvers — the researchers believe the whales are potentially homing in on the

FTX says ‘unauthorized transactions’ drained millions from the exchange

FTX moved users’ funds to offline wallets early Saturday morning after a wave of “unauthorized transactions” drained hundreds of millions of dollars from the beleaguered cryptocurrency exchange. Ryne Miller, the general counsel at FTX US, didn’t confirm a hack, but said on Twitter that the company made the move to “mitigate damage” caused by the potential theft, as transferring funds offline, or to “cold storage,” helps prevent outsiders from gaining access to them.

FTX’s new CEO John Ray, who took the place of company founder Sam Bankman-Fried following his resignation on Friday, issued a statement through Miller’s Twitter account on Saturday afternoon. “We are in the process of removing trading and withdrawal functionality and moving as many digital assets as can be identified to a new cold wallet custodian,” Ray says. “As widely reported, unauthorized access to certain assets has occurred.” He adds that FTX is in contact with law enforcement and “relevant regulators” to address the situation.

“FTX has been hacked. All funds seem to be gone,” an admin on FTX’s official Telegram channel writes, while also instructing users to delete FTX’s apps and warning against going on the platform’s websites due to the presence of malware. FTX.com and FTX.us are currently down at this time of writing.

Some users on Twitter speculate whether a member of Bankman-Fried’s inner circle drained the exchange’s funds, with crypto sleuth ZachXBT stating “multiple former FTX employees confirmed to me they do not recognize these transfers.” Nick Percoco, the CEO of the

Acer’s Swift Edge could be the 16-inch OLED laptop we’ve all been waiting for

The race to market a truly portable, affordable, and long-lasting OLED laptop is on. Asus is currently the major player. Not only has it made several attempts this year, but it’s come the closest so far with its AMD-powered Zenbook S 13.

But Acer, today, is throwing its hat in the ring. The new Swift Edge is a 16-inch, 3840 x 2400 OLED device that weighs just 2.58 pounds — which would make it the lightest 16-inch laptop in the current market (though is very close).

And here’s the really good news: it’s got AMD Ryzen inside. Specifically, the model being sold in North America includes the Ryzen 7 6800U, the same eight-core processor that powers the Zenbook S 13.

That’s a screen, all right.

It’s always exciting to see OLEDs becoming more accessible and more portable. But among a number of promising OLED notebooks that have been released this year, including Dell’s XPS 13 Plus and Asus’ Vivobook S, battery life has proven to be a challenge. The former model only lasted me five hours to a charge, while the latter tended to die around four and a half.

One thing those models have in common, in addition to the OLED screen: Intel processors. Across the board, Intel’s 12th Gen chips have suffered on the efficiency front this year — and that’s all the more apparent in high-resolution OLED laptops, which are notorious battery guzzlers.

Twitter Appears to Roll Out Pay-for-Verification Plan in iOS Update

Twitter users may indeed soon be able to get a verification badge on their profile by paying $8 a month to sign up for the Twitter Blue subscription service, a change critics say could make it easier to spread disinformation on the social media platform. on Saturday, version notes for the latest iteration of Twitter’s app for the Apple iPhone showed up in the App Store, with a What’s New section that pointed to the verification feature.

The notes tell users that “starting today” if you “sign up now” for Twitter Blue, “your account will get a blue checkmark, just like the celebrities, companies, and politicians you already follow.” It appears, though, that the program hasn’t actually kicked in yet. TechCrunch note that “according to a tweet by Esther Crawford, a product lead at Twitter, the new Twitter Blue plan isn’t live yet but some users are seeing notifications as part of a live test.”

On Wednesday, Bloomberg reported that the $8 per month pay-for-verification setup could launch as soon as next week. And The Verge had previously reported that Musk had given employees a launch deadline of this Monday, Nov. 7. (Crawford has reportedly been sleeping at the office to finish projects on time.)

The verification process was originally established to let users “know that an account of public interest is authentic,” as the Requirements for Verification page in Twitter’s Help Center puts it. Once users are verified, a blue badge containing a white check mark appears next to
