Remembered As

"The Forgotten War"

๐Ÿ“– The Korean War and the Armistice

The Korean War began on 25 June 1950 when North Korean forces crossed the 38th Parallel into South Korea. The conflict soon became an international effort involving United Nations forces, led primarily by the United States, supporting South Korea, while Chinese forces entered the war in support of North Korea. After three years of intense fighting and enormous human loss, the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed on 27 July 1953, ending active hostilities. Although the fighting ceased, a formal peace treaty has never been signed, meaning the Korean Peninsula technically remains under an armistice rather than a permanent peace agreement.

THE CRA PERSPECTIVE The First 15-Minute Edge A Sector Strength & Stock Selection Trading Framework A structured approach to identifying early market leadership, selecting stocks with relative strength or weakness, and managing risk with discipline. “Do not chase the first movement. Understand where the strength is coming from.” The opening minutes of a trading session can reveal important information about market participation. Some sectors immediately attract buying interest, while others show relative weakness. Within those sectors, individual stocks can display even stronger or weaker price behaviour. This observation leads to a simple trading concept: first identify the sector, then identify the stock. Instead of scanning hundreds of stocks without a framework, the trader begins with the broader market, determines where relative strength or weakness is appearing, and then narrows the search to the strongest or weakest candidate within th...

Travel Time to Proxima Centauri b : How Long to Reach the Nearest Exoplanet?

CRA PERSPECTIVE • INTERSTELLAR SCIENCE Travel Time to Proxima Centauri b How Long to Reach the Nearest Exoplanet? 4.24 LIGHT-YEARS • 40 TRILLION KM • ONE DESTINATION An educational exploration of distance, speed, propulsion and the reality of interstellar travel. The Nearest Exoplanet Is Closer Than You Think — And Farther Than You Can Imagine Proxima Centauri b is the closest known exoplanet to Earth. It orbits a small red dwarf star in the Alpha Centauri system, just 4.24 light-years away. That sounds close in cosmic terms. But 4.24 light-years is roughly 40 trillion kilometres — a distance so vast that our fastest spacecraft would take thousands of years to cover it. This framework breaks down the journey by speed, from current technology to theoretical propulsion, and asks the central question: “How long would it actually take to get there?” The Four Pillars of Interstellar Travel ๐Ÿ“ DISTANCE 4.24 light-years ≈ ...
