<p>The administration of United States President Joe Biden has for the first time permitted Ukraine to use the US-supplied long-range missile for striking inside Russia, Reuters and Associated Press reported citing sources.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a shocking incident, a 43-year-old Indian man showed up at a prayer meeting kept in his memory after his cremation in Mehsana city of Gujarat.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The family members were mourning the death of the man when he himself walked in alive, NDTV reported.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On October 27, the man - identified as Brijesh Suthar - had gone missing from his home in Naroda.&nbsp;</p>

<p>His family searched for him&nbsp;everywhere but failed to find him. They then filed a missing complaint with the police.</p>

<h2><strong>Here's how the family 'believed' the man has 'died'</strong></h2>

<p>According to the report published in NDTV, two weeks after the man's disappearance, on November 10, a body was discovered close to the Sabarmati bridge.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The family members were called by officials to identify the dead body. However, it had decomposed by that time.</p>

<p>The physique of the body resembled that of Brijesh because of which his relatives presumed that it was him.</p>

<p>It was reported that he had been battling stress and mental health issues because of his financial investments.</p>

<p>The body was cremated by the family members and a prayer meet was organised in his memory.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Mutual funds have emerged as one of the favourite investment options for investors in today's time.&nbsp;However, what is the right way to invest money in mutual funds has left many investors confused.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For investors, it is important to make the right investment decision on mutual funds to secure their financial future and ensure the best returns from the investment</p>

<h2><strong>How can investors invest in mutual funds?</strong></h2>

<p>The investors have two ways to invest in mutual funds.&nbsp;One way is to make a "Lumpsum" investment and the other is to go for a "Systematic Investment Plan&nbsp;or SIP" in which a fixed amount is invested in the fund at specific intervals.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In lumpsum investments, the investors can purchase the number of units they wish in one move. This investment helps in creating extra wealth and liquidity. The timing of the investment is the key strategy in the lumpsum&nbsp;method.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the Systematic Investment Plans&nbsp;(SIPs), the investor is able to invest a specific amount in the funds at regular intervals. This amount is generally deducted from the bank account of the investor.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Scientists recently discovered the fossilised remains of a giant “terror bird" in South America’s Tatacoa Desert which has shifted focus on the formidable predator from the Phorusrhacid family.</p>

<p>In the new study, it was found that these giant meat-eating Phorusrhacid birds, also known as “terror birds”, were among the most impressive predators who ever roamed on the Earth.</p>

<p>As per the researchers, these flightless birds existed from 60 million to 2 million years ago in South America.</p>

<p>These birds were up to 10 feet tall and had massive and hooked beaks. The legs were really strong and good for running. The environment was dominated by terror birds as they hunted small and mid-sized animals.</p>

<p>The birds were able to sprint at high speeds and chase their prey while using their powerful beaks to deliver lethal strikes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to some scientists, the birds sometimes also hunted in packs. They ruled for millions of years and filled the gaps which were left by the extinction of the dinosaurs.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Here's what a 'leg bone' tells about 'terror birds'</strong></h2>

<p>The leg bone, which was a relic from the Miocene epoch that was dating back around 12 million years, held the secrets of these ancient birds.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Associate professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Dr Siobhan Cooke said that the bone's size indicated that this terror bird may be the largest known ancient bird among its species. It was said that the bird was approximately 5 to 20 per cent larger in comparison to Phorusrhacids.</p>

<p>In the bone, the researchers found deep pits, which are peculiar to Phorusrhacids and teeth marks which belonged to a prehistoric caiman, Purussaurus.</p>

<p>“We suspect that the terror bird would have died as a result of its injuries given the size of crocodilians 12 million years ago,” explained Dr Cooke.</p>

<p>According to researchers, the modern long-legged bird native to South America, seriema, was a distant relative of Phorusrhacids.</p>

<p>“It’s a different kind of ecosystem than we see today or in other parts of the world during a period before South and North America were connected,” said Dr Cooke.</p>
