'I am certainly...': Atlanta inventor Julian Brown 'missing' for two weeks, his last post triggers suspense
Where is Julian Brown, a young Atlanta inventor. According to reports, he has been missing for past two weeks. A young inventor from metro Atlanta, Julian Brown, has gone missing for nearly two weeks shortly after he posted a cryptic message that he was "certainly under attack". Brown recently rose to fame for his ingestion of 'Plastoline' a technology that converts plastics into gasoline or other usable fuels like diesel, jet fuel etc. Brown, on his social media, posted that some "very, very odd stuff" was happening to him and he was "certainly under attack". This tell-tale post was shared from his account on July 9. He asked his followers to keep their eyes open as he could not reveal anything else at that time. He said he was still working and building and nothing would stop him. Social media users raised alarm that something bad might have happened to Julian because of what he was creating. "The influencer and scientist Julian Brown also known as naturejab did not post anything after around 2 weeks. His last post was a leak of his drivers license. He produced gasoline out of plastic waste and was concerned people will try to stop him," one wrote. FBI director Kash Patel and deputy director Dan Bongino were tagged on social media posts urging the FBI leadership to look for Julian Brown. Not much is known about the disappearance of the young inventor. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brain tumor has left my son feeling miserable; please help!

'Embarassing behaviour'UK screening fiasco lands T'wood's Fan culture in A big mess
Cineworld halted a Pawan Kalyan film screening in the UK after unruly fan behavior involving confetti throwing. This incident, along with others, prompted the MEA to advise Indian citizens abroad to respect local laws. What Happened A video clip showing staff at the UK theatre chain Cineworld halting a screening of Pawan Kalyan's Hari Hara Veera Mallu after sections of the audience threw confetti has put the spotlight on unruly Tollywood fan behaviour abroad. The screening was paused as staff addressed the disruption, prompting some moviegoers to argue that no prior notice had been displayed prohibiting such celebrations. However, the staff called it out for what it was: 'a lack of common sense' and the backlash was instant. MEA's advisory for Indians overseas to follow local laws The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) recently issued an advisory urging Indian citizens residing abroad to respect local laws and 'create a good image' of themselves and the country. The advisory comes in the wake of two unrelated incidents in the United States — one involving the detention of an Indian woman for allegedly shoplifting items worth over $1,300 (approximately ₹1.12 lakh) in Illinois, and another involving an Indian man detained on charges related to child pornography in Washington. 'Fans should absolutely enjoy the film, a film's release is a moment of joy and excitement for fans, and that spirit of celebration is a beautiful part of cinema culture. However, it's important to remember that the cinema is a shared space. While cheering for your favourite stars it should never come at the cost of others' experience' — Jithendra, Distributor 'Audiences, especially fans of stars, should carry themselves with decency and uphold a strong sense of responsibility. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo For those who have moved abroad, it becomes even more important to respect local laws and follow their guidelines, thereby representing India positively on the global stage.
