<p>A company in New Zealand has unveiled a range of wines to soothe the nerves of your pet dogs and cats. Muttley's Estate, a company based in Aotearoa, has come out with pet-friendly wines to relax your furry friend. It promises to give them a buzz without actually feeding them alcohol. The range of wines, which includes Chapawgne, Purrno Noir, and Sauvignon Bark, contains catnip. The makers say that the herb is effective in relaxing cats as well as dogs. It adds that the wine can be especially useful for animals suffering from anxiety or stress. "Just like in cats, some dogs may experience a calming effect when exposed to catnip," the company website states. "This can be useful in situations where a dog is experiencing anxiety or stress, such as during thunderstorms or fireworks."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>However, these wines are not pocket-friendly, costing $12.99 NZD (Rs 700) for 150ml. So, everyone might not want to treat their pet cats and dogs to these wines. The company explains that it grows its own catnip and then combines it with water and preservatives.

For cats, reduction in stress and anxiety is the main win, while dogs will experience a calming effect, deep relaxation, appetite stimulation, and digestive aid. The wines come in seven varieties, and each 150 ml bottle costs $12.99 NZD and has three servings. The names are also based on pet theme, such as Pawt, Cabarknet, Prosecatt, and Meowsè.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p>

<p>From Tuesday (Sep 30) some 100,000 federal workers are set to exit in what is being called the largest mass resignation in American government history. By the end of the year, this number is projected to reach 300,000, making it the most significant single-year reduction in the civilian federal workforce since World War II. By comparison, around 100,000 civilian jobs were cut between 1945 and 1946. During the 1990s, the Clinton administration's “reinventing government” initiative eliminated some 250,000 positions, but that process took five years. The current wave of exits is occurring within just one calendar year under the direction of President Donald Trump.</p><p>A potential government shutdown looms on 30 September. Agencies have been ordered to prepare for additional layoffs, particularly targeting non-essential roles. Here is what you should know:</p><h2>How is the mass exodus being made possible by the Trump administration?</h2><p>This wave of resignations is not driven by recession but by direct executive action from the Trump administration. The approach was upheld by the United States Supreme Court, even though it bypassed several long-standing protections for federal employees.

Some 300,000 US federal workers will resign under Trump’s policies. This staffing cuts across agencies, seen as politically motivated, will affect services and risks a government shutdown.



From Tuesday (Sep 30) some 100,000 federal workers are set to exit in what is being called the largest mass resignation in American government history. By the end of the year, this number is projected to reach 300,000, making it the most significant single-year reduction in the civilian federal workforce since World War II. By comparison, around 100,000 civilian jobs were cut between 1945 and 1946. During the 1990s, the Clinton administration's “reinventing government” initiative eliminated some 250,000 positions, but that process took five years. The current wave of exits is occurring within just one calendar year under the direction of President Donald Trump. A potential government shutdown looms on 30 September. Agencies have been ordered to prepare for additional layoffs, particularly targeting non-essential roles. Here is what you should know: How is the mass exodus being made possible by the Trump administration? This wave of resignations is not driven by recession but by direct executive action from the Trump administration. The approach was upheld by the United States Supreme Court, even though it bypassed several long-standing protections for federal employees. Supporters describe the effort as a necessary reset or efficiency reform, while critics call it a destabilising and potentially unlawful dismantling of the civil service.

<p>Donald Trump has given the White House another layer of his signature glitz, showing off rows of gold ornaments in a video posted on Truth Social — but the timing has sparked outrage. The US president, who has treated the residence as a personal design project since his second term began, has filled its halls with flashy remodels: a paved-over Rose Garden, a reworked West Wing colonnade, and even a new $200 million ballroom financed partly by corporate donors like Google, Palantir, and Lockheed Martin. The additions lean heavily on one theme — gold. On Sunday (Sep 28), Trump uploaded a silent video panning across dozens of gilded trinkets, medallions, and mouldings and a brag that didn't go down all that well with Americans. Here's all you need to know.</p><h2><strong>Trump brags about all the gold</strong></h2><p>In a video on Truth Social, Trump on Sunday, showed off the gaudy golden touches he has given the White House. He claimed that “Some of the highest quality 24 Karat Gold used in the Oval Office and Cabinet Room of the White House,” boasting that foreign leaders “freak out” at the sight. “Best Oval Office ever, in terms of success and look!!!”</p>

<h2><strong>Citizens flabbergasted by Trump's disregard for American lives</strong></h2><p>Critics quickly accused him of revelling in gaudy excess, comparing the display to European royalty. Some called the decor tacky and cheap, questioning whether the pieces were even authentic, pointing to past accusations that Trump’s gold details could be bought at Home Depot.</p><p>The criticism grew sharper because of the timing. His gold post went live less than three hours after a Marine veteran opened fire at a Mormon church in Michigan, killing four and injuring eight before setting the chapel ablaze. Trump had earlier acknowledged the attack, calling it a “horrendous shooting” and declaring that America’s “EPIDEMIC OF VIOLENCE IN OUR COUNTRY MUST END, IMMEDIATELY!”</p><p>However, netizens were quick to point out the timing, with one asking “HOW is he posting THIS after what happened last night in NC, and today in Michigan?” Another slammed Vice President JD Vance's post where he claimed that the “entire administration is monitoring things” and said, “Monitoring? No Trump is busy bragging about his 24kt gold...”</p><p>This is not the first time Trump has flaunted his taste for gilded symbols. Last month, he convinced FIFA President Gianni Infantino to let him hold on to the World Cup trophy, telling aides with a grin, “That’s a solid gold trophy. They know how to get to me.”</p><p>Renderings of his under-construction ballroom show a structure larger than the White House itself, lined with golden finishes. Even the colonnade linking the residence to the West Wing now features gold-framed portraits of every past president — except Joe Biden, whose photo was replaced with one of an autopen.</p>

President Donald Trump sparked outrage by posting a video on Truth Social showcasing new 24-karat gold ornamentation and gilded trinkets in the White House, boasting that foreign leaders "freak out" at the sight and claiming he has the "Best Oval Office ever." Here's why.

'HOW is he posting THIS': Trump boasts of 24kt gold in White House hours after deadly church shooting

<p>Interstellar comet 3I/Atlas was the likely origin point of the famous Wow! Signal detected in 1977, according to Harvard scientist Avi Loeb. In a new blog post, he pointed to the probability that the signal was sent by the interstellar object 48 years ago. He listed a series of calculations to deduce the position of 3I/Atlas in 1977, right about the time the Wow! Signal reached Earth originating in a far-off location. Loeb concluded that the two points in space are quite near, which means the chances of something else transmitting the signal were minuscule. "The ‘Wow! Signal’ originated from the sky coordinates of Right Ascension (RA)=19h25m=291 degrees and Declination (Dec)=-27 degrees," he wrote. The signal believed to have come from an extraterrestrial object at the time was recorded on August 15, 1977. At this time, the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS was at a distance of "about 600 times the Earth-Sun separation (AU)."</p><h2><strong>When was Wow! Signal detected?</strong></h2><p>He deduced that the "Wow! Signal was separated by approximately 4 degrees in RA and 8 degrees in Dec from the direction of 3I/ATLAS." Loeb added that the "chance of two random directions in the sky being aligned to that level is about 0.6 per cent," which means it is possible that 3I/Atlas emitted the Wow Signal. If this is the case, then it raises another question: "How powerful was the transmitter?" The Wow! Signal was detected by SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) astronomer Jerry R. Ehman. He was using the Ohio State University’s Big Ear radio telescope when a sudden signal stumped him. It was such a strange occurrence that he simply wrote the words "Wow" on a piece of paper, which was later used to name the strange signal.

<p>India’s Asia Cup win in Dubai on Sunday (Sep 28) ended in controversy when the team refused to accept the trophy from Asian Cricket Council (ACC) president and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi. Eventually Naqvi ran away with the Asia Cup trophy, and Team India did not get the trophy it deserved as the winner. However, it would take a lot more to faze the 'men in blue'. Unfazed, the Indian players celebrated on the empty stage, with captain Suryakumar Yadav playfully pretending to hold the trophy as his team celebrated their victory, show images. Later, on social media, Team India mocked the fiasco with multiple players including Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma, posting victory photos on Instagram with trophy emojis edited into the frames.</p><p><strong>Also read | </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/operation-sindoor-on-the-games-field-pm-narendra-modi-lauds-indian-team-for-asia-cup-triumph-pakistan-1759090540452"><strong>‘Operation Sindoor on the games field,’ PM Modi lauds Indian Team for Asia Cup triumph</strong></a></p><h2><strong>Why didn't Team India receive their winners trophy?</strong></h2><p>Suryakumar and co. defended their title with a hard-fought five-wicket victory over Pakistan, but the post-match ceremony took an unusual turn. The Indian camp, as per reports, had informed organisers that they would not take the trophy from Naqvi and instead requested Emirates Board vice chairman Khalid Al Zarooni to present it. That request, however, was denied, and after a tense delay, commentator Simon Doull announced that India would not be collecting the trophy at all.</p><p>Naqvi remained at the podium holding the silverware before eventually leaving with it. BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia later claimed that Naqvi ran away with the cup, taking it back to his hotel room, leaving the winners without the traditional symbol of their triumph.</p><p>Unfazed, the Indian players celebrated on the empty stage and later mocked the fiasco online. Despite the off-field drama, India ended the campaign with a trophy — even if only the emoji version made it into the team’s photos. Take a look at the photos.</p>

<h2><strong>Champions denied trophy; Suryakumar slams fiasco</strong></h2><p>Suryakumar also voiced his frustration, saying he had never seen a champion side denied a trophy. “This is something I have never seen in all my years of playing and following cricket. A champion team was denied a trophy, and it was a hard-earned one. It was not easy. We played two strong games on back-to-back days. I felt we truly deserved it. I do not want to say much more,” he told reporters.</p><p>The BCCI has signalled it will lodge a formal protest at the next ICC meeting in November.</p><p>The incident came against the backdrop of strained India-Pakistan relations. Earlier this year, terror attacks in Kashmir killed 26 civilians, prompting Indian airstrikes on militant camps in Pakistan-administered territory. While the two boards agreed to honour Asia Cup commitments, India’s players avoided handshakes with their Pakistani counterparts throughout the tournament.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Team India celebrated its win at the Asia Cup win without a trophy. However, unfazed by the lack of the trophy, the Men in Blue posted pictures edited to showcase the trophy that they didn't get. Check them here.

India’s Asia Cup win in Dubai on Sunday (Sep 28) ended in controversy when the team refused to accept the trophy from Asian Cricket Council (ACC) president and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi. Eventually Naqvi ran away with the Asia Cup trophy, and Team India did not get the trophy it deserved as the winner. However, it would take a lot more to faze the 'men in blue'. Unfazed, the Indian players celebrated on the empty stage, with captain Suryakumar Yadav playfully pretending to hold the trophy as his team celebrated their victory, show images. Later, on social media, Team India mocked the fiasco with multiple players including Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma, posting victory photos on Instagram with trophy emojis edited into the frames.

Suryakumar and co. defended their title with a hard-fought five-wicket victory over Pakistan, but the post-match ceremony took an unusual turn. The Indian camp, as per reports, had informed organisers that they would not take the trophy from Naqvi and instead requested Emirates Board vice chairman Khalid Al Zarooni to present it. That request, however, was denied, and after a tense delay, commentator Simon Doull announced that India would not be collecting the trophy at all. Naqvi remained at the podium holding the silverware before eventually leaving with it. BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia later claimed that Naqvi ran away with the cup, taking it back to his hotel room, leaving the winners without the traditional symbol of their triumph. Unfazed, the Indian players celebrated on the empty stage and later mocked the fiasco online. Despite the off-field drama, India ended the campaign with a trophy — even if only the emoji version made it into the team’s photos. Take a look at the photos.

<p>A 1998 Nicolas Cage film bears a shocking resemblance to Charlie Kirk's killing. Viral videos on the internet show how events in the movie Snake Eyes are eerily similar to what happened on September 10 at the Utah Valley University campus. A scene in the film shows the assassination of a man who plays the Secretary of Defence and is attending a boxing match. He was shot at the venue of the match. Shockingly, the date it happens in the movie is also September 10. Nothing to talk about here? Well, the name of the character who is killed is Charles Kirkland. Charlie Kirk's full name is Charles James Kirk. The person is shot in the neck. Kirn was also fatally shot in the neck. It gets weirder. The name of the person who kills Kirkland in Snake Eyes is Tyler, the executioner, a heavyweight boxer. As everyone knows, the person arrested for Charlie Kirk's assassination is named Tyler Robinson. People are shocked to see the stark resemblance between the scene of the film and the real-life incident involving Kirk and Tyler.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The streak of uncanny resemblance also pulls in President Donald Trump. Some people are also claiming that the Snake Eyes scene was shot at the Trump Taj Mahal Hotel &amp; Casino in Atlantic City. People are wondering how a film made 27 years ago had so much in common with a real-life incident that shocked America in 2025. This has triggered a wave of theories on social media - from time travel to theories of the world being a simulation. A user wrote, "I’m absolutely stunned like a deer in headlights.

AAP questions Meanwhile, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Saurabh Bharadwaj slammed Jamwal for his allegations and asked for the proof. “This is the central government’s DGP who has booked Sonam Wangchuk, a globally awarded personality, under sedition and NSA. When asked about the reason for NSA, just look at his expressions, listen to his words—it is as if someone is narrating gossip at a roadside shop. Is this the way an officer should speak?” the AAP leader wrote on X.

<p>Jamwal claimed that the activist &nbsp;had a “history of instigating” while highlighting his mentions of the Arab Spring, Nepal, and Bangladesh.&nbsp;</p>
