I need to hand in my homework tomorrow (future situation) I will need to hand in my homework tomorrow (future situation) Am I correct on this sentence below? I need to hand in my homework by tomorrow (present situation) Thank you.

Yes, you are... at least to my AE ear.

Though "I need to hand in my homework by tomorrow" actually means you need to hand it in today.  

I need to hand in my homework tomorrow (future situation) I will need to hand in my homework tomorrow (future situation) These mean the same thing. I need to hand in my homework by tomorrow (present situation) This means you need to hand it in today or tomorrow  

I disagree. "I need to have handed it in by tomorrow" means I need to hand it in today or tomorrow. "I need to hand it in by tomorrow" means I need to hand it in today.

“By Tomorrow” – Learn What It Actually Means! (Examples & Facts)

The phrase “by tomorrow” is something that we might hear in English, especially when someone is setting a deadline for something. It would help to know what it means and whether it also includes “tomorrow” as part of the deadline or not, so this article will explain it.

What Does “By Tomorrow” Mean?

“By tomorrow” means that something has a deadline of “tomorrow” and should be completed at some point before the end of “tomorrow.” “By tomorrow” includes “tomorrow,” as long as it’s finished before the end of the day. “By” does not mean “before;” in this case, it means “due.”

We use “by tomorrow” to talk about something that is due at a certain time. That time generally happens between today and tomorrow (depending on the urgency of the task).

We can also replace “tomorrow” with any other day, like “by Monday” or “by the weekend.” In all cases, as long as the deadline is met (i.e., it happens no later than the specified day), then the “by” phrase will be correct.

Examples Of How To Use “By Tomorrow” In A Sentence

Let us explain a little more about how it works by including some examples. With the help of these examples, you’ll have a much better time understanding what “by tomorrow” means and how you can use it.

• I want these papers on my desk by tomorrow, or it’ll be the end of your career!
• I need these documents by tomorrow to plan my next move.
• Apparently, my delivery will arrive by tomorrow, but I don’t know whether I can trust the service!
• She wants your answer by tomorrow, which gives you plenty of time to think about it.
• I let him sleep on it and told him I expected his decision by tomorrow.
• By tomorrow, it will be too late for any of us to enjoy our time together because we’ll all be heading home!
• You have to text me the information by tomorrow; otherwise, I don’t know where I’m going.

“By tomorrow” means that something is due tomorrow, and that thing could be delivered at any point in the day. There’s also a chance that we can deliver the thing earlier than “tomorrow”(i.e., “today”).

It’s just a way for somebody to set a deadline for us, and we usually have to follow such a deadline. Typically, we’ll be given a reason alongside the deadline to explain what would happen if we didn’t get our task done on time.

Does “By Tomorrow” And “Today” Mean The Same?

There are a few ways you might use a phrase that sets a deadline. We could say something like:

• I need this by tomorrow.
• I need this today.

Of course, both “by tomorrow” and “today” are ways to set deadlines, but do they mean the same thing?

“By tomorrow” and “today” do not mean the same. “By tomorrow” gives us a chance to hand in the task today or tomorrow, while “today” limits us to only handing in something today; otherwise, we will be past the deadline.

If someone says that something must be handed in “today,” it’s usually an urgent task. Hopefully, there will already have been ample warning for you to make sure you were prepared to hand it in; otherwise, you might not have time to finish the task, depending on how long it takes to finish.

Can “Tomorrow” And “By Tomorrow” Ever Be Used Interchangeably?

We could also use “tomorrow” in place of “today,” but does “tomorrow” mean the same as “by tomorrow?”

“Tomorrow” means that something has to be handed in tomorrow. It means we can’t hand it in today or any day after tomorrow. On the other side, “by tomorrow” means today or tomorrow, depending on the task. Therefore, the phrases are not interchangeable.

“Tomorrow” is closer in meaning to “by tomorrow” than “today” was in the previous section. However, it’s still not exactly correct.

“Tomorrow” is far too specific about when we have to hand something in.

• I need these papers tomorrow. (Deadline is tomorrow, no earlier and no later)
• I need these papers by tomorrow. (Deadline is tomorrow, but earlier is acceptable)

As you can see, “tomorrow” is more specific, while “by tomorrow” allows for much more leniency in the delivery.

What Is The Difference Between “By Tomorrow” And “On Tomorrow”?

The preposition “by” is a great way to show when something needs to be delivered. Of course, that doesn’t stop some people from wanting to try other prepositions, and that’s where we come across phrases like “on tomorrow.”

You should use “by tomorrow” when setting someone a deadline that ends at the end of the day tomorrow. “On tomorrow” is not a correct phrase on its own, and we typically use it with “tomorrow” in the possessive form (i.e., “on tomorrow’s program”).

“On” is not the right preposition to use with “tomorrow.” There is no reason to specify that we’re “on” a day like “tomorrow” because it doesn’t add anything extra to the meaning.

You’ll only see it when “tomorrow” is in the possessive form, as follows :

• On tomorrow’s show, you’ll find out what happened.
• On tomorrow’s showings, you’ll see a movie you’ve wanted to see forever.

We might also ask what’s on TV tomorrow. As you can tell, the theme for using “on tomorrow” mostly works for television rather than any other context:

• What’s on tomorrow?

According to Google Ngram Viewer , “by tomorrow” is vastly more popular than “on tomorrow.” This shows that “by tomorrow” is the only correct choice when setting a deadline, while “on tomorrow” only applies when you’re talking about a program or something on television.

Is It Ever Correct To Use “At Tomorrow”?

We can also try and look into another preposition before “tomorrow,” which is “at.” Unlike “on tomorrow,” there are no valid situations where “at tomorrow” makes sense, unless you’re speaking in colloquial cases.

It is never correct to use “at tomorrow” in formal writing. There are very few cases informally where you might use it (i.e., “where are you at tomorrow?”).

According to Google Ngram Viewer , “at tomorrow” is the least popular preposition of the three, and for a good reason. It’s not commonly used except in rare informal cases, so you won’t see it work well compared with “by tomorrow” or even “on tomorrow.

What Is The Difference Between “By Tomorrow” And “Until Tomorrow?

One other preposition we want to go through is “until,” which is possible to use with the word “tomorrow.” It will help you to understand how it works.

“By tomorrow” sets a deadline for something for the end of the day tomorrow. “Until tomorrow” is what we say when we’re expecting to do something or see someone again tomorrow, and we’re waiting for that point in time to occur.

“Until tomorrow” doesn’t have the same meaning as “by tomorrow,” and we’ll use it in different ways. Here are the most common ways to see it written:

• Until tomorrow, I guess this is goodbye! See you again soon!
• I will have to wait for this until tomorrow, which is really annoying.
• Until tomorrow comes, there isn’t much more we can do about this.
• Till tomorrow arrives, we’re just going to have to sit and watch the paint dry.
• He won’t be here till tomorrow, but you can make yourself at home while we wait.

“Until” and “till” are synonymous, which means we can use either variation in sentences. Typically, “till” is slightly less formal, so it works better in spoken English than anything else.

Is It “By Tomorrow Noon” Or “By Noon Tomorrow”?

What happens if we want to specify the time “tomorrow” that the deadline is set? We might include words like “noon” or “night,” but we need to make sure we’re getting the structure correct before writing it.

“By noon tomorrow” is correct when you want to set a deadline for midday tomorrow. We place the time of day before the day itself to show when something has to happen, and it’s rare that the other way around is seen.

To prove this, take a look at Google Ngram Viewer . Here, we can see that “by noon tomorrow” is the preferred option, and there’s quite a large difference in usage between the two phrases.

While “by tomorrow noon” does occasionally get used, it is not correct grammatically. We have to place the time before the day when we’re speaking in this way, so make sure you say “noon tomorrow.”

What Does “Delivery By Tomorrow” Mean?

“Delivery by tomorrow” means that your delivery will arrive today or tomorrow.

If you’ve sent for a delivery or ordered something online, you’re often given a deadline of when that will arrive. That deadline will usually say “by” and then give you a date or specific day of the week.

In these cases, you can expect your delivery to arrive at some point within the next few days, and it won’t arrive any later than “tomorrow” in the case of “by tomorrow.”

• You will receive your delivery by tomorrow.
• Your delivery will arrive by Monday.

Homework, a necessary evil according to many teachers, has a lot of students tied up in knots. Some students can never seem to get things turned in on time. In fact, many students do not even realize that they  have  homework until a friend from class texts them or they overhear someone in the halls talking about Ms. So-and-so's terrible, no-good, awful, horrifying worksheet for Chemistry that is due the next day. These five tips for completing your homework on time, however, should help you get that homework finished on time. 

Tip 1: Rely On a Planning System

Most of you by now are well acquainted with a homework planner. It has the dates, the school subjects you are taking, and a whole lot of blank space to write down your homework assignments. Use these planners if you have them. Writing with an actual pencil or pen may seem almost archaic what with technology virtually doing everything for us, but the kinesthetic movement of writing down an assignment into one of those little squares (Language Arts test tomorrow - STUDY TONIGHT), will actually help solidify that homework in your brain.

Plus, when you are packing up to go home at the end of the school day, all you have to do is open up that planner to see which books, folders, and binders need to go home with you so you will not miss out anything that you need to do that evening.

Some people  hate  using planners. They'd rather walk on a pile of crushed glass than actually write something down in a planner. That's quite all right. One student kept a wadded up piece of paper in his pocket where he'd scrawl his assignments. It worked for him, so it was fine. For those of you not keen on planners or crumpled up notes, your phone can come in really handy. Just download a productivity app and type your assignments in there. Or, keep track of all the work due in the notes section of your phone. Or, snap a picture of the homework board in each teacher's class before you head out into the hallway. Or, if you are really dead-set against anything planner-related, then just send yourself a text after each class with your homework assignments for the night.

No matter which planning system you prefer, use it. Check off each item once you get it in your backpack. Your brain can only process so much information at a time, so you absolutely must write your homework down if you plan to complete it on time. 

Tip 2: Prioritize Your Homework Assignments

All assignments are not created equal. It's strongly recommended you use a prioritizing system when you sit down at home with your homework. Try a system a little something like this:

• Examples: Studying for a major test coming up tomorrow. Finishing a major project due tomorrow. Writing an essay worth a LOT of points that is due tomorrow. 
• Examples:  Studying for a quiz coming up tomorrow. Completing a homework sheet that is due tomorrow. Reading a chapter that is due tomorrow. 
• Examples: Studying for a spelling test that will occur on Friday. Writing a blog and posting it on the class board by Friday. Finish a book upon which you will take a quiz on Friday.
• Examples: Reviewing chapters for the midterm exam. Working on an on-going project, research paper, or long assignment due at the end of the quarter. Completing a packet that isn't due for two weeks. 

Once you've prioritized the work you have to do, complete all the 1's first, then the 2's, moving down as you go. That way, if you find yourself pressed for time because Great-Grandma decided to stop over for family dinner and your mom insisted you spend the evening playing bridge with her despite the fact that you have hours of homework ahead of you, then you will not have missed anything vitally important to your grade. 

Tip 3: Get the Worst Assignment Over With First

So, maybe you absolutely hate writing essays (But, why, though when all you have to do is follow these essay tips? ) and you have a major essay staring you in the face that  must  be completed before tomorrow. You also have to study for a major math test, complete a social studies blog by Friday, study for the ACT  next month, and finish up your science worksheet from class. Your "1" assignments would be the essay and the math test. Your "2" assignment is the science worksheet, the "3" assignment is that blog, and the "4" assignment is studying for the ACT. 

Ordinarily, you would start with the science worksheet because you  love  science, but that would be a big mistake. Start with those "1" assignments and knock out that essay first. Why? Because you hate it. And completing the worst assignment first gets it off your mind, out of your homework cache, and makes everything that comes after it appears to be really, really easy. It will be an absolute  joy  to complete that science worksheet once you have written the essay. Why rob yourself of joy? 

Then, once you've completed the stuff due first, you can focus on putting in a little bit of time on the ACT. Easy peasy.

Tip 4: Take Planned Breaks

Some people believe that sitting down to complete homework means that you literally park your behind in a chair and you don't move it for the next four thousand hours or so. That is one of the worst study ideas in history. Your brain only has the capacity to stay focused for about 45 minutes (maybe even less for some of you) before it goes on the fritz and starts wanting to make you get up and dance the Roger Rabbit. So, schedule your study time with breaks actually built in . Work for 45 minutes, then take a 10-minute break to do whatever it is people your age like to do. Then, rinse and repeat. It looks a little something like this:

Homework Time:

• 45 minutes: Work on "1" assignments, starting with the absolute worst.
• 10 minutes: Get a snack, play Pokemon Go!, surf Instagram
• 45 minutes: Work on "1" assignments again. You know you didn't finish.
• 10 minutes: Do some jumping jacks, dance the Macarena, polish your nails.
• 45 minutes: Work on "2" assignments and maybe even finish with any 3s and 4s. Put everything in your backpack.

Completing your homework on time is a learned skill. It requires some discipline and not everyone is naturally disciplined. So, you have to practice checking that you have everything you need for homework when you are still at school, prioritizing your work, plunging into the assignments you loathe, and taking planned breaks. Isn't your grade worth it?

You bet it is.

Module 3, Verbs: Types, Tenses, and Moods, Lesson 8:

Tenses of verbs, module {moduleid}, {moduletitle}.

Definition: Earlier in this module you learned that verbs are action words. Verbs have multiple forms called tenses that tell us when an action occurs. In this lesson you'll learn about the simple, progressive, and perfect tenses.

Simple Tenses

The present, past, and future tenses are called simple tenses .

Simple Present Tense

The term present tense is a little deceiving. You're probably thinking to yourself, "It's a no-brainer, isn't it? The present tense is used for actions that are happening now, right?"—not exactly. Although it's true that the present tense does have to do with current events, there are several specific ways in which it's used, including:

Talking about actions that occur repeatedly These are actions that happen on a regular basis, such as habits or routines. They can have a specific or general time frame.

I brush my teeth every morning and every night . Bret runs five miles every day . We visit my grandparents twice a year . Sometimes Sean and Jaimie go to the pool. Mom never lets us eat chocolate cake for breakfast.

Discussing current facts, basic truths, or widely accepted beliefs

The sky is blue, and the grass is green. Cats catch mice. Stealing is unethical.

Describing people or things Use the present tense to describe physical characteristics, personality traits, feelings, abilities, and likes and dislikes that are true in the present.

Her brothers are both over six feet tall. He is the nicest person I know. I feel sick today. My best friend plays minor league baseball. Many people love dogs, but many also love cats. This milk smells funny. Your new rose bush looks beautiful!

You already learned how to form the present tense in Lesson 5 , but let's review. The base alone is used for most forms of the present tense, including the first person ( I and we ), second person ( you ), and third person plural ( they ). The only time the base changes is in the third person singular ( he , she , it ). To form the third person singular, just add the letter -s to the end of the base.

Simple Past Tense

The past tense is more straightforward than the present tense—you only use it to talk about actions, events, or feelings that happened at an earlier point in time.

Olivia closed the door behind her. We pushed through the crowd to get a better view of the stage.

Let's also review how to form the past tense. Simply take the base form and add -ed . If the base ends in a silent e , just add -d , not -ed . Unlike the present tense, the past tense always uses the same form regardless of person or number. If you would like to see more examples, you can go back to Lesson 5 .

Future Tense

The future tense is one of the easiest tenses to learn because it has no irregular forms. Just as its name suggests, it's used to describe actions that will happen in the future. It is formed by combining the helping verb will with the base form of the main verb.

Tomorrow I will walk home from school.

Progressive Tenses (A.K.A. the Continuous Tenses)

Progressive tenses are used to discuss ongoing or continuing actions. They can also be used to talk about an action that is, was, or will be occurring at the same time as another action. The progressive tenses use a form of the verb to be plus the present participle of the verb.

Present Progressive

The present progressive tense is typically used to talk about something that is happening right now. It can also be used to talk about a future action or an action that is occurring at the same time as another one. It is formed by using a present tense form of the verb to be plus the present participle of the main verb.

I am walking to school right now . (current action) He is walking to school tomorrow . (future action) Most days we are walking to school when you see us. (simultaneous actions: are walking and see )

Past Progressive

The past progressive is used to describe an action that was occurring at the same time as another past action.

Yesterday I was walking to school when you saw me. (simultaneous actions: was walking and saw )

Future Progressive

The future progressive is usually used to describe an action that will occur at the same time as another future action. To form the future progressive tense, use this formula: will be + present participle.

Tomorrow I will be walking to school when you see me. (simultaneous actions: will be walking and see )

Notice how the verb see is in the present tense, not the future tense. When people talk about future simultaneous actions, usually one verb is in the future progressive and the other is in the simple present .

Perfect Tenses

Perfect tenses show when an action happened in relation to another action. To form the perfect tenses, use a form of the helping verb have ( have , has , had , will have ) plus the past participle of the main verb. The verb have changes to show the tense.

Present Perfect

An action in the present perfect began in the past and continues in the present or has ended by the present. It can also be used to talk about past actions that happened multiple times. To form the present perfect, use the present tense of the verb to have plus the past participle of the main verb.

Most days I take the bus to school, but for the last two weeks I have walked to school. I have finished my homework already.

Past Perfect

An action in the past perfect began and ended before another past event. To form the past perfect, use the past tense of the verb to have plus the past participle of the main verb.

Yesterday I rode the bus to school, but the day before I had walked to school. I was watching TV because I had finished my homework already.

Future Perfect

An action in the future perfect tense will be finished by a particular time in the future. To form this tense, use this formula: will + have + past participle.

By the time I arrive at school tomorrow, I will have walked to school 100 days in a row. By 8 p.m. I will have finished my homework.

Perfect Progressive Tenses

Perfect progressive tenses are a combination of perfect (completed before) and progressive (ongoing) tenses, which show that something began, continued, and ended before another action. The perfect progressive tenses combine the perfect ( have , has , had , will have ), the progressive ( been ) and the present participle of the main verb.

Present Perfect Progressive

This tense is used for recent past actions that happened repeatedly.

I have been walking to school on sunny days. He has been finishing his homework by 7 p.m. every day this week.

It is also used for continuous past actions that are affecting the present in some way.

I have been walking to school a lot, so I'm in much better shape than I was before. He has been finishing all his homework, and his grades have improved a lot.

Past Perfect Progressive

Use the past perfect tense to express actions that happened in the more distant past that happened repeatedly. This tense is frequently used in relation to another past action that occurred at a later time.

I had been walking to school every day, but then the weather turned cold. Isabella had been finishing her homework on time all month, but then she caught a cold and missed school.

Future Perfect Progressive

This tense is used when you are anticipating a time in the future when a continuous action will be finished.

By tomorrow I will have been walking to school for six weeks straight.

Emphatic Forms

Not a tense, but logically included in this section is the emphatic form . The emphatic form emphasizes that an action happened. It is also used in questions and in negative statements. The emphatic form uses the verb do with the present form of the verb.

Adverb Clause of Time And Exercises

You might know that an adverb clause is a  dependent clause  that functions as an adverb in a sentence. There are different kinds of adverb clauses in English; in addition, the subordinators can distinguish the different types of adverb clauses. In this lesson, you will learn how to use an adverb clause of time.

Adverb Clause of Time

The adverb clause connectors, such as after, before, when, while/as, by the time, since, until/till, as soon as/once, as long as/so long as, and whenever can be used to form adverb clauses of time. Examples:

• After I am done with my homework, I will study the adverb clause of time.
• As soon as we finish Step 4, we will start the TOEFL iBT preparation program.
• As long as some troublemakers exist around here , you will not be able to improve your business.

2 dead after blast at Rainbow Bridge linking Ontario-N.Y., governor says 'no sign' of terrorism

Rainbow still shut as peace, queenston-lewiston, whirlpool rapids bridges reopen.

Social Sharing

There's no indication that a vehicle crash and explosion Wednesday that killed two people on the American side of the Rainbow Bridge — which connects Ontario and New York — is linked to terrorism, says New York Gov. Kathy Hochul.

"Based on what we know at this moment, there is no sign of terrorist activity in this crash," Hochul said at a news conference.

She said an individual from Western New York was "involved" in a "crash," but she did not clarify if the person was the driver.

<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NEW?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#NEW</a> Statement from <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/FBI?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#FBI</a> Buffalo regarding the investigation at Rainbow Bridge: <a href="https://t.co/4lwvq8PsAe">pic.twitter.com/4lwvq8PsAe</a> &mdash; @FBIBuffalo

Hochul said events began at 11:27 a.m. ET. The explosion led to the closure of four area bridge border crossings ahead of the U.S. Thanksgiving weekend. 

Information about the second person who died was not available.

• Analysis Right-wing U.S. media covered fiction as fact: A non-existent terrorist attack from Canada at Rainbow Bridge

Shortly after 5 p.m., Ontario Provincial Police said the Peace, Queenston-Lewiston and Whirlpool Rapids bridges had reopened. The Rainbow Bridge remained closed.

"Naturally, at a time of heightened alert, everybody springs into action," Hochul said. "We're not aware of any threats to this area, but I state the caveat that the investigation is ongoing." 

Canadian government sources told CBC News on Wednesday afternoon that answers about what happened may take some time as the vehicle involved was badly burned. Ottawa is "highly confident" the car originated in the United States, they said.

Vehicle basically 'incinerated'

Hochul said a video shows how the vehicle basically "incinerated" and nothing was left but the engine.

"It's going to take a lot of time for our federal law enforcement partners ... to be able to piece together the real story."

Earlier Wednesday, the FBI Buffalo Field Office posted on X that it was investigating a vehicle explosion.

"The FBI is coordinating with our local, state and federal law enforcement partners in this investigation. As this situation is very fluid, that's all we can say at this time."

The Buffalo Niagara International airport said on X that it was open and "fully operational." 

PMO in contact with U.S. officials

The Rainbow Bridge connects the tourism sectors of Niagara Falls, Ont., and Niagara Falls, N.Y. It has 16 car inspection lanes into the U.S. and 15 into Canada. The Niagara Falls Bridge Commission website, which oversees the bridges, says they see about seven million passages annually.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's press secretary, Jenna Ghassabeh, said in an email shortly after the explosion that Trudeau was briefed "by the national security and intelligence adviser about the situation in Niagara Falls."

The email said the Prime Minister's Office is "in contact with the U.S. officials. The minister of public safety, RCMP and CBSA [Canada Border Services Agency] are fully engaged and providing all necessary support."

Trudeau, speaking in the House of Commons, called it "a very serious situation" and said his office would "remain engaged" on the incident the rest of the day.

Government sources told CBC on Wednesday afternoon there was no firm conclusion on whether the explosion was intentional. Because it was at a site of critical infrastructure, the operating assumption from government is there is a security threat until proven otherwise, they added.

A spokesperson from Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center confirmed a border patrol agent was treated and released with non-life-threatening injuries from the explosion.

Shortly after the explosion, the CBSA told CBC Hamilton via email that it was "liaising with our U.S. counterparts on this matter." 

The U.S. transportation agency, the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority, said it was "increasing security system-wide."

Security was also stepped up at other Canadian border crossings.

The Detroit-Windsor Tunnel said it was operating at a "heightened level of security" in the wake of the explosion at the Rainbow Bridge. In a statement, the tunnel's chief executive officer said the crossing remained open but some delays were expected. Officials are monitoring the situation at other Windsor-Detroit border crossings as well.

In northwestern Ontario, border crossings  at the Fort Frances Bridge between Fort Frances, Ont., and International Falls, Minn., the Pigeon River crossing near Thunder Bay remain open. The CBSA also lists the bridge crossing between Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., and Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., as open. 

• Detroit-Windsor Tunnel resumes normal operations after Rainbow Bridge explosion
• Border crossings between northwestern Ontario, Minnesota remain open after explosion at Rainbow Bridge

The Niagara Regional Police Service wrote on X there was "no known threat on the Canadian side" of the border. The service added the public should expect to see more police out, as well as road closures near the bridges and "significant traffic congestion on Niagara roadways, including highways."

Also on X, Toronto police wrote that while they are unaware of any threats to the city, they would be increasing officer patrols "out of an abundance of caution."

'One city divided by a border'

Jim Diodati, the mayor of Niagara Falls, Ont., told CBC Hamilton he was getting out of a dentist appointment around lunchtime when he learned about the explosion.

"As soon as I saw [the] border closed, the hair on my back stands up," Diodati told CBC.

"We often say Niagara Falls is one city divided by a border."

If you can imagine, the bridge was packed with cars that had to turn around and be sent back to Canada. It was nerve-racking." - Forrest Willett, Ontario resident

As a border town, he said, the crossings are important to Niagara Falls. They facilitate trade and tourism, and many locals have loved ones on the American side.

"It's cause for alarm," he said, especially given people tend to cross this time of year for the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday and Black Friday shopping.

In a situation such as this, the mayor said officials prepare for the worst and hope for the best. 

Witness accounts

Ontario real estate agent Forrest Willett was waiting to cross into the U.S. over the Peace Bridge for work on Wednesday when border officers began approaching cars. 

He said an officer told him they were evacuating the bridge as there had been an explosion at the nearby Rainbow Bridge.

Willett said he felt like the "elevator floor" had dropped out from under him and he was counting down the seconds until he could get off the bridge.

"If you can imagine, the bridge was packed with cars that had to turn around and be sent back to Canada," Willett said. "It was nerve-racking." 

He said the officers directed traffic and all personal vehicles drove off the bridge within 20 minutes. They're now crammed on streets and parking lots and people wait for the bridge to reopen, he said mid-afternoon. 

Jose Ventura Jr. was visiting Niagara Falls, N.Y., with his family on Wednesday. They had just stopped at a nearby park and were heading toward the Rainbow Bridge when they heard a loud bang and saw thick smoke. 

He told CBC Hamilton his 10-year-old daughter was "really scared and screaming out."

Moments later, he said, police began evacuating the area.

"We just had to get out of there," Ventura said. "We were worried something else might occur and for sure didn't feel safe."

Organizers advised spectators to avoid bringing large bags, umbrellas, backpacks and strollers.

Trading Strategy 2024: Risks, Long And Short Positioning. Presentation Tomorrow 1 Pm Eastern

Check out my last public article that is apropos to the topic Want To Beat The Market In 2024? Assume Indexes Flatline And Do This

I readily admit that looking even beyond mid-February is quite cloudy. That said, there is no harm in starting out with a position based on the facts that we have now. This is in no way a "Prediction" that is set in stone. Successful trading requires agile assessment. One of the big problems with investors and traders is that they hold on to a mental picture of the market, sector, or individual stock for way too long. In this presentation, I will lay out the rationale of why just buying and holding a general index like the SP500 ETF ( SPY ) has not been working for years . If you bought the SPY in 2021 at the peak of 4800 you have been underwater for literally years.

My thesis is that we will not be making new highs for the next 12 months. Check out this SPY chart....

TradingView

As you can clearly see we are in a mild downtrend. I suspect that we will likely retreat to 410 (4100ish on the actual SPX) at some point in mid-Q1, and trade between the old highs (4600 to 4800) and that base of 4100 for most of next year. I will review my thesis with you in the presentation. I will explain and justify my strategy and ongoing tactics that flow from it, I will explain the difference between hedging against the general indexes and shorting (via Put options) individual names. I don't believe the market will sell off drastically, this is the perfect market for stock picking and more short-term tactics paired with long-term investments. Most importantly I will press the notion that it is important to have your own model of what is powering market moves. Then if the underly facts change you can adjust your strategy and the tactics that flow from it.

Google Meet limits participation to 100 participants.
