We have already discussed about the point of zero charge how it has to be determined experimentally thereby potentiometric titration or by zeta size which gives the zeta potential determined as a function of the p-s values and from that we can find out point of zero charge of the p-zc values. Now, as I have already mentioned that depending on the p-s values and the p-zc of this judgment or the clay mineral whatever we are talking about. So, based on that the metal and uptake can be decided. For example, if the p-zc value of a particular clay mineral is around 7 then the p-s value lower than 7 that will exist in the propanated form so naturally the uptake of the propanated species will not be there onto this mineral surface. But if we increase the p-s value to higher than back of the p-zc then this hydrogen ions are dissociated or removed from the surface of this clay mineral and we have the O minus or negatively charged species at the surface of this clay mineral and then which will be now forming the complex with the cationic species it present in the aquatic system. If it is forming a complex or if it is forming anionic species the actinide ion then it will naturally will not form complex at the p-s value higher than that of the p-zc. Now, coming to the surface charged characteristics of this minerals the figure shows that how you have this negatively charged in the faces you have and also the positives are edges are there. So, they will be actually binding with the cationic as well as the anionic species that is the cationic species will be binding with the paces and anionic species will be binding with the paces. Then in this case when the presence of the variable charge surfaces as shown here the number of surface sites are constant but their individual charge and the total surface charge will be vary as a function of the solution composition. The surface charge depends on the absorption surface binding of the potential determining ions such as the hydrogen ion and the formation of the surface complex also affect the surface charge. A mix of anion, cation and neutral species can jor and modify the place. Now, what are the factors which are affecting the absorption process that is number one it is the surface area and the amount of absorption site we have a very large surface area that is the same mineral you are having finer particles it will have a very large surface area for a particular weight of the clay mineral. So, in that case the surface area will increase naturally that will be also having higher uptake of the anionic ions of the metal ions and also the amount of absorption sites that is the density of the surface absorption sites in the mineral surface as shown here you have this bulk mineral phase which is shown here. Now, how many sites are there which are binding in the metal ion that also is dependent on the amount of actinide or the metal ion which is taken up by the mineral phase or the bulk mineral phase. Then the relative attraction of the aqua species to the absorption sites there are some other species which are present in the aqua space which are also going to the absorption sites then permanent structural charge and also variable charge these are the factors which are deciding the absorption process. Now, the mechanism of this can be two way first is the ion exchange which is happening in case of the clay minerals like spectraites and zeolites. So, in this case we have this example is given here that you have the neptunium ions are there. So, the charge is not given, but you can consider suppose neptunium plus 5 state that is neptunil ion is there. So, then how it will be forming complexes with the bulk mineral phase or it will be transporting as such. So, as shown here some of this neptunium will be forming of course, directly it will be forming complex with the surface of this bulk mineral phase then it can also bind with some of the mineral colloids with this bigger size species which is shown here this is the mineral colloids which are there. Now, what is the colloid that I will be discussing subsequently in this lecture. So, is this by this neptunium is binding to this mineral colloid which is there and this also can move there is a transport of this can be there, neptunium can as such it can be transported, but then it will be less the magnitude of transport will be much much less here with the very small ions are moving, but if it is bound to a mineral colloid and it is shown here then it will be the transport range will be much much larger. So, it will go to a longer distance or it can bind get bound to bulk mineral phase which is actually shown here. So, in the bulk mineral phase that directly the neptunium may be binding or it may be binding as a function at a complex of this mineral colloid. So, either way you will find that which is the neptunium becomes now immobilized because it is bound to the bulk mineral phase and the mobile in a neptunium is which is going as such transported as the ion or it is getting transported as a complex form in the mineral colloid. Now, this binding is can be by ion exchange where the actinide ion can get exchanged with an ion present in the mineral surface. This is called the ion exchange or it can be by something called a surface complexation. So, that the mechanism of the surface complexation I will be discussing in some of the subsequent slides. So, this can surface complexation can take place on the surface of iron, manganese, aluminium, titanium or silicon oxides which have this hydroxide, carbonates or the sulphides at the clay edges. So, this type of things can be this surface complexation can take place. Now, the actinide mineral interaction. So, we have this mineral surface as shown here the schematic is given here. It can have depending on the pH value see here if the increasing pH value mineral surface can have a zero charge at the PZC and if it is lower than the PZC it will have a positive charge and at the higher than the PZC it will have a negative charge. So, this is how the mineral surface will be behaving as a function of the pH and there can be interaction between the actinide and the clay oxide surface which is a electro static or it can be a chemical interaction. Based on that the complexes will be formed. If you have the anionic species then they will be interacting at the lower pH value or at the positive species will be binding. The mineral surface at the positive part of the mineral surface will be binding to the negatively charged complexes or at the higher pH value where you have the mineral surface having a net negative charge it will be binding with the positively charged ions or the complexes. Now, for surf sun or retention they should have opposite charges that is mineral surface and the binding actinides ions should have the opposite charges and if you want to be released or the dessert from the mineral surface then you should have the same charged species. In that case it will be released from the mineral surface. Now, the mechanism and the nature of the complex formation as I have already mentioned this is a two types of interactions. One is a ionic sense where the interlayer cation in that place which is getting replaced by the cattants, the actinides and also there can be surface complexation with the surface hydroxyl group. In this case it is binding with the hydroxyl groups present at the mineral surface and the nature of the complex can be either inner sphere or outer sphere in case of inner sphere there will be either partial or no hydrogen sphere of this metal ion when it is forming a complex. For example, we have shown here some complex this bigger one is the metal ion and it is having some water molecules are present. Now, this will be moving actually now when it is going to bind with this clay mineral in that case this water molecules which are there around the metal ion those water molecules are to be removed and then it will be forming a complex. In case of the outer sphere complexation the water molecules need not be removed and there can be interaction between the water molecule which is binding to the metal ion with that of the clay mineral surface so that is how it is forming an outer sphere complex. In this case one we have shown an inner sphere complex where all the water molecules are removed from the inner coordination sphere of the metal ion and that is how it is forming complex with the clay mineral. If one wants to have the final details of the mechanism then the following can be considered. Now, we also have outer sphere substance inner sphere surface complexation. So, there are some of the examples I have shown here in case of the outer sphere substance we have this this is the the actinide complex of the actinide. Actinide is symbolized as anx plus and there are y number of water molecules forming a hydrate or the actinide complex of the actinide ion. Now, this entire thing is coming this entire species is coming very close to this surface and then it is forming outer sphere substance. So, that is how it is interacting with the negatively charged part and then it is binding in the surface and also there can be inner sphere surface complexation. In this case you have this actinide H2O y the same species whatever I have mentioned here and in this case the same species is now interacting with the surface species which is the which is so on here along with that it is forming some bonding that is how it is the inner sphere surface complexation that can be actinide colloid attachment in this case you have this colloid means this actinide is binding with the colloids where the colloid can be either intrinsic colloid or pseudo colloid. There can be surface precipitation in this case this actinide ion is interacting with hydroxide and it is forming a precipitate as you know this hydrolysis it can form the species like OH x species will be formed and this will be forming a precipitate and it will be lying on the surface. There can be surface induced redox reaction also where these oxidation state can go change from x plus to x minus 1 if the reduction is taking place and there also can be co-precipitation or solid solution formation where you have this actinide ion which is interacting with the mineral surface and it is forming a actinide mineral co-precipitation or the solid solution formation. So, these are the different types of interactions with the actinides are forming with the clay mineral at the mineral surface that as I have already mentioned it can form subson, it can form surface complexation, it can have precipitation, it can have co-precipitation that can be also reduction in the surface. Now, this can be monitored by spectroscopic techniques those are the exhausts or the TRLFS and also other techniques such as SIGAML, Agilite, Coriotransfer, Intraexpectroscope. Now, we will take some example Uranium-6 uptake we would like to study by Gethite and Kaolinite. So, in this case what we do is we first we should try to understand the PCSN diagram of that of the Uranium-ion. Now, as I have already mentioned with the actinide chemistry course this Uranium-ion also forms very strong complexes with carbonate and the last option with the hydroxides. So, in the case where you do not have any carbonate present in the system you have the PCS, Uranium-ion at the very low pH values and which actually goes on decreasing and as you form the mono hydroxides species and subsequently you have the dihydroxides species also and like that you will have different polymer species also are formed. This is how this the speciation of Uranium-ion is increasing pH values it shows, but if you have the carbonate present in the aquating system then you have this carbonate complexes are formed. So, at the low pH value you have the Uranium species as already mentioned and you also have the carbonate species form at around pH 5.5 or so. So, you have this Uranium-carbonate species which at a higher concentration of the OH- are at higher pH values you get the Uranium-carbonate species which have more number of carbonates are attached or you also can have the polymeric or in this case you have the dimeric species where you have the hydroxo as well as carbonate complexes are formed with the two pointies of Uranium-ion. So, now let us see whether we have the studies carried out at different pH values containing carbonate as well as without the carbonate. Now, this example we come here for this Uranium-ion uptake by geothite as well as carlinite. At pH 7 we have both geothite and carlinite have positive charge which is determined for their from their PZC value. So, before pH 7 and negative charge it can be after pH 7. So, now we will see mark here at the pH 7 is the value we mark here we will see before pH 7 and after pH 7. Now, carbonate free geothite if you take that is the red line which are the experimental values you see that. So, there will be initially there will be no absorption of Uranium-ion but subsequently which increasing pH values then there will be uptake of this Uranium-ion because of the hydroxy species and definitely it will increase and it will be going up even after pH 7 will get nearly 100 percent uptake of the Uranium-ion. Now, you go to geothite where the carbon dioxide is there shown by the blue line in the figure. In that case initially of course we have this uptake is there and but beyond pH 7 because of the carbonate complexation. So, it is forming now the negatively charged species. So, it starts dropping. So, it is not forming a complex in that case because after the PZC values there will be repulsive interactions. So, it is not forming any complex. Now, if you have the kaolinite in air in that case also similar behavior is observed like with height initially you have uptake starting from a pH 4 values and it is going up to pH 7 and then there is a relatively more steep decrease in the uptake of Uranium that means Uranium is coming out of kaolinite phase. So, now what we see the this is a very simplistic case we have seen in this case we had only carbonate present, but actual conditions ground water conditions you have the humic acid also present in the aquatic system that is the humic acid will be present and it will form complexes with the trivalent lanthanides or actinide ions. Here for the convenience we have taken the trivalent lanthanides which is behaving more or less similar way as that of the trivalent actinides. So, we have taken the Europium as the case study and we are trying to see how it is substance is there onto the alumina surface or what is the aluminum hydroxide surface, how this uptake of this? Europium-3 ion is there. So, we have three case studies, number one is just aluminum hydroxide suspension we have and we try to study the Europium substance onto that and for the case B we have the aluminum hydroxide suspension with dissolved humic acid and case C where you have the suspension of aluminum hydroxide and humic acid hybrid. So, both humic acid also in the suspension as well as aluminum hydroxide also in the suspension case of C. Now, we come to the first case A where you have only aluminum hydroxide suspension as shown in this figure with Europium-3 will be forming a complex with aluminum hydroxide at the pH value which is greater than the PZC value. Now, this is the black points that different with this case A. You see here that initially this uptake is not there or the substance is not there, but beyond pH 5 there is a slow increase in this uptake and then you find this some sort of a saturation is reaching beyond around pH 7.5 or so it is because of the complexion of Europium-3 ion with the deprotonated aluminum hydroxide which is there beyond pH 7.5. So, this is what is our case A. Now, coming to the case B, here we have the humic acid in the solution phase as shown in this case of the figure you have the humic acid also in the solution phase that is how now it is forming a complex. It can form complex in the two ways. First, Europium-humic acid complex is formed and that whole complex is present in the solution phase. Then, Europium without forming a complex with the humic acid, the chance is very very less, but definitely some fraction of the Europium-3 is not forming a complex with the humic acid and that particular fraction of the Europium-3 plus ion is binding to the aluminum hydroxide surface. The third case is the Europium-3 is forming a complex with the humic acid and the humic acid is binding to the aluminum hydroxide surface. So, in this case, in the last two cases that is the Europium-3 which is binding to aluminum hydroxide or Europium-3 humic acid complex which is binding to the aluminum hydroxide in this case, Europium-3 is getting immobilized on the aluminum surface. On the other hand, the Europium-3 humic acid surface, it is actually mobile. It is present in the solution phase and it is mobile. Now, in case of this case C, we have this aluminum and humic acid both are fixed. That means the humic acid is now interacting with the aluminum surface and it is a part of the alumina. Now, in this case, Europium-3 is forming a complex directly with alumina as shown here or it is binding to the humic acid which is in turn is already fixed with the alumina surface. This case is represented by the profile given by the red balls as the data points. Now, we also come to the thermodynamic modeling of the functional data that I was mentioning. It is something called the surface complexation modeling. So, here we have the different surface reactions. For simplicity, surface hydroxides are represented as SOH. So, in case of the silicates, we have this type of functional groups are there at the surface. The silaxial groups which are having triple bond SOH. Now, this can form, take up a proton and give this type of group where it forms a cationic surface site or it can also release a proton and giving an anionic surface site. So, that means the silica is behaving either way. It can have a cationic site also it can have an anionic site and these metal complexation reactions can be either with the cationic site also it can use the anionic sites depending on the nature of the complex the metal ion has formed. The complexation reaction also can be there directly binding to the SOH functional group which is there present in the silica surface where you have this MN plus metal ion which is binding to the SOH. Again, where this sort of a replacement reaction this hydrogen ion is coming out of the silica surface and similar way you also can have the hydroxy complex of the hydrolyzed species also interacting with the SOH surface and there also you have one hydrogen ion is coming out. So, now this is how the surface complexation is taking place in the silica surface. Now, when we have different type of clay minerals present in the aquatic system they will be forming similar type of complexes and the surface complexation model SCM which is actually a chemical model, but it takes into account this complexation which is taking part with the metal ion or in this case the actinide ion which is different clay minerals. It takes care of this molecular description of the substance it also has a equilibrium approach and it is analogous to the complex formation in the solution, but it has to take care of the mass balance, charge balance as well as the equilibrium cost. So, how to go about it? We have the equilibrium constants the K values as mentioned in the above reaction with the metal ion this KM or the KM OH values are already reported for a particular clay mineral or a particular metal ion in the literature. So, we can try to have our experiments done and after getting the experimental data we can try to fit into the different type of complexation the clay minerals and then from that we can get an idea what is the mechanism of this complex formation or the substance with the clay minerals. I have given one case study here in the right hand side figure where actually the neptunium substance and two different clay minerals has been done here in this case we have taken pentonite clay and this uptake has been seen at two different ionic strength conditions that is 0.01 molar as well as one molar conditions given by the black and the red data points. And this modeling has been reported in the literature this blue line is actually that of the montmorillonite which is reported by Tachy et al and this purple one is the again the uptake value of neptunium which you can calculate from the equilibrium constants which is reported by Bradbury and Byance this is for again montmorillonite and this black line which is given here this is reported by polar et al and this is for gate height. Now gate height apparently is playing a more important role in case of the bentonite clay whatever has been taken this particular study and it is as you can see this fitting curve whatever is obtained considering the gate height which is matching very well with the experimental data points suggesting that gate height is probably playing a more important role in case of the option of this neptunium ion and to this bentonite clay. This is how the surface complexation model actually this is helping and there are two approaches in this surface complexation model that is the component additive or the CA model which I have already discussed when you have the different type of clay mineral and you take the log k value from the literature and then you try to do it give the weightage to those fraction of the clay mineral and try to generate model the data and match with the experimental data and the second approach is the generalized composite or the GC where you have you have the subs data and keep on doing the iterative fitting and that is how you can find out what are the composition what are the mechanism of the option of the kinetics under the clay mineral. Now the colloidal transport of the actinides there are two types of actinide colloids which are identified in the groundwater and already we know that actinides when you go to very high pH values they undergo hydrolysis and they also form the polymers under the existing conditions. So those cases you get actually more than one number of actinide ions they come together and they form colloids so that is called as the increasing colloid or the real colloid some people call it also igne or primary colloid or even two colloids. So these are basically the actinide hydrolysis products that through the oxo or hydroxybrase formation that is another one is called a pseudo colloid then actually the colloid is formed by another metal ion and in case in that case this actinide is absorbed onto the colloid formed by the second metal ion that can be the other metal ion like the transition element metal ion which is forming a colloid under the groundwater condition or the experimental conditions and there actinide is getting absorbed onto the colloid of the other metal ion and this is called a associative or pseudo colloid. Now what are the factors which are determining the stability of the colloidal system? Now the factors of this colloidal system mainly depends on the electric charge on the surface of the colloid naturally the depending on the charge the charge is too much the colloid will break then because of the repulsion between the colloid particles and it will prevent them from coagulating and settling out of the solution phase also your factor which is determining the pH value that means the colloids have the zero surface charge that is the pH PZC then further the pH of the colloidal system from the PZC the larger is the surface charge and the more stable is the colloidal system that each colloidal system is characterized by its pH PZC so that the pH can be adjusted to stabilize or destabilize it also the factors which are important is the solid effect or the ionic strength on the surface charge so depending on that if the electrolyte is present in a colloidal solution the cations tend to adhere on a negative charge color to compensate the excess local charge of opposite sign and vice versa for the anions this will reduce the double layer potential of the colloid and enhance the coagulation process in that colloidal system. Now formation of the colloids and their studies they are already concerned this formation of the eigen colloids this is the eigen colloid of the true colloid of the intrinsic colloid in this case the hydrolysis is the primary state which is leading to the polymerization and that generation of the actinide colloids and the tendency of this formation of the actinide colloid of course it depends on the charge the ionic potential of the actinide that is the tetravalent actinide ion has the higher chance of forming an intrinsic colloid and also the actinide hydroxide and oxides usually are very small solubility in the natural water so making them the common source of the intrinsic colloid in the case of the pseudo colloids their attachment of the actinides of the ground water colloid which are already present in the ground water system is result from various geochemical processes and also it can also from the weathering of the rocks and minerals you have some colloids that present in the ground water system which will be basically the platform where these actinides will be for getting job and for subsequently they will be migrating in the ground water system. Now the formation of the colloids and their studies methods for the study of actinide colloids the properties that are of interest for the environmental point of view and the colloid size distribution can be done by studies like our DLS or so then also this charge and the colloid can be found out by the BZC and the actinide uptake by the colloid can be done by the normal uptake studies. By ultrasonitification by filtration or ultrafiltration this can be done to separate the colloids from the dispersed media. Electroporesis or zeta potential can be done to determine the colloidal charge and adsorption studies can be done in a normal way by adding a radio tracer into the solution phase and then to find out how much a radio tracer is going onto the colloids or the exchanger or in this case the clay mineral and that is how from the adsorption studies can be found out. The particle size of colloids are determined using DLS or the dynamical light scattering method also scanning electron microscopy or energy dispersive exerspectroscopy or transmission electron microscopy these are the techniques which can be used to get the size and as mentioned here you can find that these job contaminants this is the phase is the water phase is there and this is the sediment phase which is shown here and you see that this rock or the sediment phase is shown here now these are the contaminants the diesel contaminants which are the actinides so they are normally they are mobile in the water surface but they can get jobbed also onto this rock mineral surface rock surface which is the immobile surface this is how they can get immobilized onto the sediment or the rock they can also form internal intrinsic colloid or they can form a complex with the pseudo colloid and then also it will be in the mobile in the water surface and they can mobile get moving in this way and that is how this actinide can get transported. So, this is how this is a two phase method I have shown and this is the contaminant transport in a three phase system where the mainly the transportation is done by either by an intrinsic colloid formation or absorption onto a pseudo colloid. Now, to summarize actinide clay interaction you have a solid like here you have iron oxide or iron hydroxide which is present here taken for example it is true for any other oxide rock or clay materials and which can have the radio-nuclide which is having the water molecules here which is coming here and it is binding to the iron oxide this is called a subsum and can be desorption can be there where you have the radio-nuclide is forming a complex you can have a complexation with the ligand that is how it forms a complex that is coming out of the jobbed clay mineral which is a desorption but it determined on the pH value and the complexation constants once it is forming it can have the dissolution also then it will come again to the aquatic medium there can be co-precipitation and there can be dissolution that is how this complex also in the presence of ligand there can be dissolution from the clay mineral that is how this becomes mobile and finally it comes to the colloidal surface this is a colloidal surface is given so this is vertically it says a pseudo colloid where you have the radio-nuclide it's forming one two three four of them coming together and forming a complex block of species which can facilitate the transport of actinides this is the pseudo colloid where you have this another petal is forming the colloid and the radio-nuclide is binding with this and this is how it is embedded onto the pseudo colloid so this is how the colloidal system it is migrating in the groundwater system that is the reason for this actinide migration behavior in the environment so we have completed the actinide chemistry and the actinides in the environment the next two lectures will be on the transactinides


Chapter 6 Which is the last, and at the same time the most edifying of all. Frawline Ancient was sitting in her room in the deepest sorrow when the door opened, and who should come in but Heramandus Von Nebelstern? All shame and contrition she shed a flood of tears, and in the most weeping accents addressed him as follows. Oh, my darling Amandus, pray forgive what I wrote to you in my blinded state. I was bewitched, and I am so still, no doubt. I am yellow, and I am hideous. May God pity me, but my heart is true to you, and I am not going to marry any king at all. My dear girl, said Amandus, I really don't see what you have to complain of. I consider you one of the luckiest women in the world. Oh, don't mock me, she cried. I am punished severely enough for my absurd vanity in wishing to be a queen. Really and truly, my dear girl, said Amandus, I can't make you out one bit. To tell you the truth, your last letter drove me stark, staring mad. I first thrashed my servant boy, then my poodle, smashed several glasses, and you know a student who's breathing out threatenings and slaughter in that sort of way, isn't to be trifled with. But when I got a little calmer, I made up my mind to come on here as quickly as I could, and see with my own eyes how, why, and to whom I had lost my intended bride. Love makes no distinction of class or station, and I made up my mind that I would make this King Dorcas Carota give a proper account of himself, and ask him if this tale about his marrying you was mere brag, or if he really meant it. But everything here is different to what I expected. As I was passing near the grand marquee that is put up yonder, King Dorcas Carota came out of it, and I soon found that I had before me the most charming prince I ever saw. At the same time he happens to be the first I ever did see, but that's nothing. For just fancy, my dear girl, he immediately detected the sublime poet in me, praised my poems, which he has never read, above measure, and offered to appoint me poet laureate in his service. Now a position of that sort has long been the fairest goal of my warmest wishes, so that I accepted his offer with a thousandfold delight. Oh, my dear girl, with what an enthusiasm of inspiration will I chant your praises. A poet can love queens and princesses, or rather, it is really a part of his simple duty to choose a person of that exalted station to be the lady of his heart. And if he does get rather cracky in the head on the subject, that circumstance of itself gives rise to that celestial delirium, without which no poetry is possible, and no one ought to feel any surprise at a poet's, perhaps somewhat extravagant proceedings. Remember the great Tassau, who must have had a considerable be in his bonnet when in love with the princess Leonore d'Este.  What? You have seen him, you wicked cobalt, for all I in ancient broke out in the deepest amazement, and he has, but at that moment in came the little gnomish king himself, and said in the tenderest accents, Oh, my sweet darling fiancé, idol of my heart, do not suppose for a moment that I am in the least degree annoyed with a little piece of rather unseemly conduct, which Herod Dapsel von Zabelthau was guilty of. Oh, no, and indeed has led to a more rapid fulfilment of my hopes, so that the solemn ceremony of our marriage will actually be celebrated tomorrow. You will be pleased to find that I have appointed Heramandus von Nebelstern, our poet laureate, and I should wish him at once to favour us with a specimen of his talents, and recite one of his poems.  For all I in ancient turned to stone with horror and alarm made no resistance to this proposal. Dorcas Carota, out under the trees, laid himself in her lap. She scratched his head, and Heramandus, accompanying himself on the guitar, began the first of twelve dozen songs which he had composed and written out in a thick book. It is matter of regret that in the chronicle of Dapselheim, from which all this history is taken, these songs have not been inserted. It being merely stated that the country folk who were passing stopped on their way, and anxiously inquired who could be in such terrible pain in her Dapsel's wood, that he was crying and screaming out in such a style. Dorcas Carota in ancient's lap twisted and writhed, and groaned and whined more and more lamentably, as if he had a violent pain in his stomach. Moreover, for all I in ancient fancied she observed to her great amazement, that Cordoven spits was growing smaller and smaller as the song went on. At last Heramandus sung the following sublime effusion, which is preserved in the chronicle. Gladly sings the bard enraptured, breath of blossoms, bright dream visions, moving through rosy at spaces in heaven, blessed and beautiful, wither away. Wither away, o question of questions, towards that wither the bard is born onward, caring for naught but to love, to believe, moving through rosy at heavenly spaces. Towards this wither, where ere it may be, singeth the bard in a tumult of rapture, ever becoming a radiant em. At this point, Dorcas Carota uttered a loud, croaking cry, and now dwindled into a little, little carrot, slipped down from ancient's lap and into the ground, leaving no trace behind. Upon which the great gray fungus, which had grown in the night-time beside the grassy bank, shot up and up. But this fungus was nothing less than Heradapsel von Zabelthau's gray-felt hat, and he himself was under it, and fell stormily on Heramandus' breast, crying out in the utmost ecstasy. Oh my dearest best, most beloved Heramandus von Nebelstern, with that mighty song of conjuration you have beaten all my cabalistic science out of the held. What the profoundest magical art, the utmost daring of the philosopher fighting for his very existence, could not accomplish, your verse is achieved, passing into the frame of the deceitful Dorcas Carota, like the deadliest poison, so that he must have perished of stomachache in spite of his gnomish nature, if he had not made off into his kingdom. My daughter Anna is delivered. I am delivered from the horrible charm which held me spellbound here in the shape of a nasty fungus, at the risk of being hewn to pieces by my own daughter's hands, for the good soul hacks them all down with her spade, unless their edible character is unmistakable, as in the case of the mushrooms. Thanks, my most heartfelt thanks, and I have no doubt your intentions as regards my daughter have undergone no change. I am sorry to say she has lost her good looks through the machinations of that inimical gnome, but you are too much of a philosopher, too. Oh, dearest Papa, cried ancient overjoyed, just look there! The silken palace is gone. The abominable monster is often away with all his tribe of salad princes, cucumber ministers, and lord knows what all. And she ran away to the vegetable garden delighted, hair daps all following as fast as he could. Heramandus went behind them muttering to himself, I am sure I don't know quite what to make of all this, but this I maintain, that that ugly little carrot creature is a vile, prosaic lubber, and none of your poetical kings or my sublime lay wouldn't have given him the stomach ache, and sent him scuttling into the ground. As Frawline Ancient was standing in the vegetable garden, where there wasn't the trace of a green blade to be seen, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in the finger which had on the fateful ring. At the same time a cry of piercing sorrow sounded from the ground, and the tip of a carrot peeped out. Guided by her inspiration she quickly took the ring off. It came quite easily this time. Stuck it onto the carrot, and the latter disappeared, while the cry of sorrow ceased. But oh wonder of wonders, all at once Frawline Ancient was as pretty as ever, well proportioned, and as fair and white as a country lady can be expected to be. She and her father rejoiced greatly, while Amandus stood puzzled not knowing what to make of it all. Frawline Ancient took the spade from the maid, who had come running up, and flourished it in the air with a joyful shout of, Now let's get to work, in doing which she was unfortunate enough to deal Heramandus such a thwack on the head with it, just at the place where the sensorium commune is supposed to be situated, that he fell down as one dead. Ancient threw the murderous weapon far from her, cast herself down beside her beloved, and broke out into the most despairing lamentations, while the maid poured the contents of a watering pot over him, and Heradapsel quickly ascended the astronomical tower to consult the stars with as little delay as possible as to whether Heramandus was dead or not. But it was not long before the latter opened his eyes again, jumped to his legs, clasped Frawline Ancient in his arms and cried with all the rapture of affection, Now my best and dearest Anna, we are one another again. The very remarkable, scarcely credible effect of this occurrence on the two lovers very soon made itself perceptible. Frawline Ancient took a dislike to touching a spade, and she did really reign like a queen over the vegetable world. In as much as, though taking care that her vassals were properly supervised and attended to, she set no hand to the work herself, but entrusted it to maids in whom she had confidence. Heramandus, for his part, saw now that everything he had ever written in the shape of verses was wretched, miserable trash, and burying himself in the works of the real poets, both of ancient and modern times, his being was so soon filled with the beneficent enthusiasm that no room was left for any consideration of himself. He arrived at the conviction that a real poem has got to be something other than a confused jumble of words, shaken together under the influence of a crude jejeune delirium, and through all his own, so-called poetry, of which he had had such a tremendous opinion into the fire, becoming once more quite the sensible young gentleman, clear and open in heart and mind, which he had been originally. And one morning Heradapsel did actually come down from his astronomical tower to go to church with Frawline Ancient and Heramandus von Nebelstern on the occasion of their marriage. They led an exceedingly happy wedded life, but as to whether Heradapsel's union with the self-feed Nahabela ever actually came to anything, the chronicle of Dapselheim is silent.


Have you heard the strange tales of the Whistler? There's something wrong. Terribly wrong. I'm going to wait a few more days and when I'm sure, I'm going to take care of you, Joe.  Sunday night and again CBS presents the Whistler. There are no many things for I walk by night. I know many strange tales, many secrets hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows. And so tonight I tell you the bewildering story of Mirage. Fred Adams is an attorney, a promising young attorney. Fred is a specialist for his practice has been limited to nightclubs and bars. In other words, Fred is what is called a mouthpiece. He steps gaily down the street tonight, unaware of the two men leaning against the black sedan parked in the shadows between the lamp posts. Hi, Fred. What's your hurry? Oh, hello, Joe. What are you and Mike doing in this end of town? We're waiting for you, Fred. Thought you might like to take a little ride. Ride? Boss wants to have a little talk with you, Fred. Not tonight. I'm busy. Got an appointment. The boss would like to talk with you. Get in. I tell you I'm busy. I'll drop around tomorrow. What are you so busy about, Fred? How would you like a poke in the nose? Get in the car, Fred. Let go of me, you. We ain't getting close. Come on. Get in. What did you two guys do without a gun? Get in. Okay, okay. 15 minutes later, Fred makes his way through the crowded tables of the Swank Tripoli Cafe toward a door marked manager. He hesitates a moment, glances at the two men beside him and knocks. Across the room, a beautiful woman sits behind the desk toying with a long cigarette holder. Uh, come in, Freddie. Come in. Well, we got him, boss. And wavy, I think he was. Over on Park Avenue. How fancy. Right outside, Joe. I want to talk to Freddie alone. Yeah. Good on, Fred. Well, what's wrong? You in trouble again, Gloria? What has mattered to you if I were in trouble? Of course it would. So, have you been the past week? Has it been a week since I saw you last? You know it has. And a week's too long to suit me, Freddie. Well, you know my phone number. If anything had happened, you could have found me. Doesn't make me very happy to think I have to go out looking for you. Kind of lets me down. Well, but the love will beat what's happened. Nothing's happened here at the cafe. What then? You, Fred. It's what you've done. I haven't done anything. Why do you think I paid your way to law school? Well, because you wanted to. Because you needed a lawyer run. Is that all? I don't know. I thought we were together in this thing for keeps. We are. I'm still your attorney. What else do you expect of me? You have the nerve to sit there and say that. You know how I feel about you. You've always known. We've always been pals. Good friends. Oh, Freddie. Look, what are you trying to say? I knew for the past three weeks that you had changed. Couldn't figure it out. But I found out this afternoon. Here it is in the paper. District Attorney's daughter to wed young lawyer. Well, I'll ban it. Are you really in love with her? Certainly. Why shouldn't I be? I don't think you are. I knew you were campaigning for the DA in this last election. I know you're ambitious. I think you've got your eyes on a job in the DA's office more than you have on the girl. I tell you, I love Brenda Gibson. You can think whatever you like. Is she pretty? Very pretty. And you? I don't like the way you say that, Fred. I'm not so old. Oh, I didn't mean it that way.  Am I? Well, I don't know what it is. You've done everything in the world for me. No one could ask for more. I've always cared more for you than any woman I've ever known. Until now. There's something about Brenda that's so different. Go on.  Brenda's intelligent. She comes from a fine family. She's... well, she has culture. And I came up from the chorus. Oh, Gloria, I didn't expect you to take it this way. How did you expect me to take it? I didn't think you were really in love with me. It never occurred to me that you had any ideas about... about getting married. What do you think I am, a totem pole? I looked upon our association more as a... as a business arrangement. You financed me through school, and when I got up in the money, I'd... I'd pay you back. Oh, Fred. Fred, you don't say anymore. I know I've been blunt, but how else can I tell you? What else can I say? There's nothing you can say. But I'll tell you something. You're getting out of your element. You don't belong there. You belong here with me.  Now, look. Don't be like that.  You'd be better off dead. You don't mean that, Gloria. No. No, Fred, I... I didn't mean that. But, honey, please go before I say any more. I know I have a chance at... please go. I'm sorry, Gloria. Terribly sorry. Goodbye, Fred. Well, I'll be seeing you. Goodbye, Gloria. A week later, the papers are filled with stories and pictures of Fred and Brenda and the district attorney in parties, dinners and teas. Read them, Gloria. Pour over them. Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Adams' this and Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Adams' that. Read them, Gloria. Read them and weep. But on a train to Miami... Dear darling, how do we spend a few days in Miami? We can fly over to Mass or father has a place there and I know some wonderful people. We can have a great time. There. Oh, what did you say? Snap out of it, darling. We're on our honeymoon. I'm sorry. I know we're gonna have a swell time. My sister Nella's spending the summer at Mass. Why didn't Nella come home for the wedding? She was supposed to be a bridesmaid. I told you, dear. You can't always get transportation just when you want it these days. What, after all, Nella's your only sister. She could have made an extra effort. What are you thinking about? Oh, business. Business? I was thinking about my new job.  Well, I suppose he's a capable young attorney. Did you ask him to appoint me? Well, I may have had something to do with it. But I wanted you to start out right. You don't mind, do you? Certainly not. It was swell of him. I only hope I can make good. You will.  I hope so. At least I'll find a job. I hope so. At least I'll make my next try. Well, let's forget about everything for the next two weeks. But, uh... I love you very much, Bernadette. Oh, darling, I'll send all my wedding moments trying to make you happy. Thanks, darling. You will never regret the day you met me. What did you say? I said you'd never regret the day you met me. Well, I should say I won't. Not a chance and a million. Now the happy honeymoon is over. And Fred and Brenda are back home. And Fred is in the district attorney's office and progressing nicely.  She scans every item in the society column, searching for news about Fred and Brenda. And every item, every picture, nurtures her resentment. And her resentment slowly turns to hate. And finally something snaps in her mind. She begins to harbor thoughts of revenge. Revenge. I wasn't yelling. Close the door. I said I wasn't yelling. Okay, okay, so I apologize. Sit down. Oh, look, Gloria, what's eating you? Why don't you get out of this office?  Yeah, why should I? Well, they all miss you, honey. They're all asking, Where's Gloria? Where's Gloria? I've run out of excuse. But I didn't call you in here to talk about the business. Well, maybe not, but I thought it was time I said something. Where's the evening paper? I, uh, I didn't get it. Why not? Oh, look, Gloria, come on. Snap out of it. Why don't you quit hunting for news about Fred? You're only driving yourself nutty. He was a nice guy, but he's gone. He's married, so forget him. Can't. Well, you could try. Not so easy as that. After all, he ain't the only man walking around. There's one or two others, you know. Yeah, who? Well, there's one guy in particular who might get your mind off Fred if you... if you just give him a chance. Who do you mean? Well, I know I ain't as good looking as Fred and I ain't got his fancy manners. But, well, I like you just as much as he did and probably a lot more. Sorry, Joe. Well, at least I wouldn't walk out on you for another day. Yeah, and if he did, I wouldn't blame you. No? No. I blame the other woman. She had no right to take him away from me. He belonged to me. Ah, Gloria, please, forget it. I won't. I can't. I made up my mind. Ah, what are you thinking? Where's your car? Outside. Where's your gun? In my pocket. Some people are giving a party at their country's place tonight for Fred and his wife. But, Gloria... But Fred was called out of town on business. They're giving the party anyway and she'll be there. Then she'll be there. So what? Wait for it. And follow her when she leaves. Ah, wait a minute, wait a minute. Nothing to do, and I ain't bumping off no day.  You're crazy.  I'm getting out of here. You're guiding me to that house. I won't. No? I wonder if the police would be interested in knowing who killed Effie Hammond. Gloria, you wouldn't... Oh, wouldn't I? Okay. Okay, you win. All right.  I'll go off the back way and meet you in the alley. And Joe, sit in the car in the deep shadows of a spreading tree. The hours drag on and then about 1.30 in the morning the party breaks up and the cars begin to leave. Finally, Brenda comes through the gate driving her own coupé. There she is. That's Brenda. You're going, Joe. Is she alone? Yeah, she's alone. I sure wish you'd change your mind. Don't get too close to her. I ain't got nothing to get to her, Fred. Either what's good is just going to do you. You wouldn't understand. I think you're going off your bean. Maybe you're cracked.  What do you mean? That's what I mean. Get back a little. They say crazy people never think they're baddie. Look, you might feel different about this in the morning. Maybe you ought to see a doctor. They cut it out. Where do you get off slapping people? Move along. You're losing her. They offer that rough stuff for I might decide to change my mind about the whole thing. You won't change your mind. It'd be funny if something happened to you. If anything happens to me, there's a letter in my safe that tells all about you. So you'd better see that I get back because it's crippling. Okay, I was only kidding. We're coming to that long stretch. No cars behind us and none coming. Step on it now.  What is it? Hold up.  I haven't anything. Just a couple of rings. Take her rings, Joe. Well, this was a new one. A woman bandit. Any money on your purse? A few dollars. Take the money and scatter the rest of the things around. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Now ruffle her hair up, Joe. Go on. Muscle her up. You take your hands off me. Oh, Gloria, have a heart. Ruffle her up. But they're good. Who are you? What's the meaning of this? You've got what you want. Now why don't you let me alone? I'll let you alone, Mrs. Adams. Who are you? Dark Walken. What? Dark Walken off through those trees. I won't. Oh, stop it. Stop it. Get moving. What are you going to do? See to it that you don't do any more chiseling in. Mrs. Brad Adams. Huh. I don't know what you're talking about. Walk. Better have it, Joe. Well, what are you throwing for? Mrs., give me that contest of Mrs. Adams. Yes. Here's your gun. Get out of here. Oh, well, for now, what are you waiting for? All right. I'm kind of dizzy and kind of sick. I can't drive, Gloria. You better drive. Huh. I thought you were experienced at this business. If I didn't see you do it, nobody in the world could have made me believe it. Nobody. Anything about it in this morning's paper, Joe? No, no, not a thing. Before I ask, too, I can't understand it. Are you sure she was dead? Of course I'm sure. See, what are you supposed to happen? She couldn't have walked away. Hey, maybe they haven't found her in the car yet, huh? That isn't possible. That's the main highway. A hundred cars passed her in the course of a few hours. Yeah, but maybe they just seen the car and thought it was a wreck, maybe. Yeah, maybe that's what it is. Hey, better lay off that stuff, Joe. You've been drinking for two days now. Yeah, but I need it. I'm jittery. I got the willies like I never had before. Hey, maybe I ought to drive out to the place and see if the car's gone. Okay, okay. I'll drive as soon as I can. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't get it off my mind. I don't mind telling you I'm scared. Go on and quit talking so much. Gloria, I went out there. Yeah, yeah, I know. I know. What did you see? Nothing. Nothing. The car was gone. I looked all around the spot and there wasn't a sign of anything. No trinkets, no blood marks, no nothing. Then you must have found her. Yeah, but why don't they say something about it in the papers? If they just say something, I could stand it. It's driving me nuts. Are you going to lay off that stuff? No, no, I ain't. I need it. I don't need it. Well, I don't know what you're made of. But whatever it is, it's sure tough. I never knew a woman could be as tough. I'll never forget about this as long as I live. Ah, you are a jellyfish. I can understand one guy rubbing out another guy for doing something against the gang, but I never thought I'd see a woman do a thing like that and for no good reason.  I couldn't have done a thing like it. You're going to turn me in first. Yes, you were. Lying, they were all covered with saliva.  This stuff doesn't seem to have any effect on me. It's just like water. Get a hold of yourself. Poor kid. I never thought it was a lousy in all my life. Did you get the late papers? Huh? Yeah. Yeah, here. Well, anything in it? No, nothing. Not a word. Maybe we didn't do it, Gloria. Maybe it was just a nightmare. No, no, we did it all right and proper. If I don't hear something soon, I'll go crazy. Hey, wait. What is it? Did they find it? No. Well, what do you know about that? What is it? What is it? Holy smoke is her. It's her. Her and Fred. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Adams attend the races. When? When? Yesterday. It isn't possible. It's her. It's her. I know it's her. But how could she? How could she? She's dead. Hey. What's the matter? Maybe. Maybe it's her. Her ghost heart. Don't be silly. I'm getting out of here. I'm leaving town. Look, here are the other papers. Day before yesterday. Fred Adams and his wife. The tennis match. And another picture. What can this mean? What do they say something about it? Yeah, you see? It's getting you down too. Oh, please. Please, Gloria. Let's pull out. It's a candy. I can't believe it. It's in the papers. You've got to believe it. Did you double-cross me, Joe? What do you mean? Did you have blanks in that gun? Blanks? I certainly hate to get hit with what I had in that gun.  He'd better be. What do we do? We'll wait. That's all just wait. Okay. But I don't think I can stand it. They did wait. They waited for two more days. And Joe, fortified with his bottle, was able to hang on. Then Gloria began to crack under the strain of waiting. Joe, I can't stand it any longer. I've got to do it. Do what? I'm going to call Fred's apartment and see if she's there. All right. I wouldn't. Hello? Is this the Adams apartment? Is Mrs. Adams there? Yes. An old friend from out of town. Thank you. I heard her. You lied to me, Joe. I didn't lie. I had bullets in that gun. I saw her. She was dead. There's something wrong. Terribly wrong. I'm going to wait a few more days. I'll check again. And when I'm sure, I'm going to take care of you, Joe. What do you mean?  Ah, that's crazy. I don't think it would be safe to have you walking around and talking. Gloria, listen to me. Come on. We're going to my apartment and wait. It's always brown to bake sooner or later. But I'd rather get out of town. Go to my apartment and get moving. Three more days of sleepless waiting. The tenseness grows and grows. The suspense is almost stifling. Poor Joe can either sleep nor eat, and Gloria becomes pale and drawn. Then Joe finally emerges and goes on a little scouting tour about town to see what he can learn. Then on the next night, a knock at Gloria's apartment door. Who is it? It's me, Fred. What do you want, Fred? Come in. I'd like to talk to you. Of course. Come in. I know it's rather late, but I had to talk to you. What about it? I never expected to see you around here again. Well, I was a bit lonely. I had to talk to someone. Lonely? Well, sit down, Fred. Thanks. You look kind of tired, Gloria. What's wrong? Well, since you mentioned it, you look a bit weary yourself. What's wrong with you? Oh, nothing much. I sent you a check clearing up what I owed you. You get it? Yeah. There is something wrong, Fred. What is it? Oh, just a little trouble and so on. What sort of trouble? Domestic. Domestic trouble? Why, what do you mean? That isn't... Isn't possible? Is that what you were going to say? Why, yes. I thought you were quite happy with your wife. Well, things can develop suddenly. I certainly found that out. Well, what happened? Or do you want to tell me? Yes. Yes, as a matter of fact, I do. I guess that's why I came here. You were always so darned understanding. You always knew the answers to things. But what happened? Well, I guess I really didn't belong in the upper crust. You had to figure it out about right. Everything was all right until Brenda started to shape my career. Shape your career? Oh, yes, she had everything all planned for me. She and her father had it all figured out. I wanted to go into the DA's office and move up on my own initiative. But they didn't want it that way. They wanted me to start out as a big shot. Did she leave you? Well, yes. We agreed to disagree. Well, where is she now? At her father's place, I suppose. When? When did she leave? Yesterday. Are you sure it was yesterday? Of course. Why do you ask that? Well, no reason, I suppose. I just can't believe it. It seems a shame. I'm very sorry for you, Fred. Believe me, I know how you feel. I was let down with a dull, sad one. For you? You should know.  You were so right I should have listened to you.  Have you forgiven me? Oh, yes. Yes, Fred. I'd have to forgive you. I love you so much. I've never been able to forget you for a single moment. I'm sorry, Gloria. Terribly sorry. Fred. I've got a strange feeling. I don't know what it is, but I have a feeling you're not telling me the truth. What? You mean you don't believe me? There's something you haven't told me. What is it? Why, nothing. I've told you everything. I don't believe you, Fred. Very well, Gloria. Well, I'm in a tough spot. Brenda hasn't gone away. She's dead. Dead? What on earth do you mean? Yes, they... She was found dead beside her car a number of days ago. The day after we had a nasty argument, but I didn't do it. There have been many threats against the district attorney and members of his family. It may have been anyone of a number of persons. Nothing's been said about it in the papers? Yes, I know that. They purposely kept it quiet, hoping the real killer will show his hand. That's silly. Why should he? I don't know. Darling, it's all such a mess. I'm completely worn out. I know they suspect me, but I don't know what to do about it. Gloria, I've seen her. I've seen her. She was standing under the lamppost at the corner. She spoke to me. She said, hello, Joe. How's Gloria? No, no, no. It was her. It was Brenda. I ran for the elevator, and as the doors were closing, she was coming in the lobby. She was terrible. Oh, pale and awful looking. Simple, then you got the snakes. No, no, it was her, and she's coming up here. I don't want to see her. I can't look at her. I can't bend it. Turn on those lights. Never mind the lights. I can see you. All three of you. Brenda. What do you want? So you're Gloria. Yes, I met you for the first time, not many nights ago, on a deserted highway. So it is her. Come out of the corner, Joe. I can see you. Joe, the man who pulled the trigger. No, no, I didn't. I didn't. What do you want? I saw it wrong. He wanted me out of the way because it's love. You were vast of the whole thing. No, Brenda, no. I had nothing to do with it. You decided you'd made a mistake. But you wanted good. I didn't. I swear I didn't. Tell him, Joe. Tell him how you shot me down. You had the gun. Tell him how... No, no, no. Keep away. Don't. Don't. I'll tell her. I'll tell her. I didn't do it. She did it. Gloria did it. I couldn't. I didn't have to know it. You're going to take the wrath for this. Gloria went off her beam when you married Brenda. She went crazy with jealousy. She knew about that party and she made me drive her out there. We followed Brenda and ran her off the road.  I fired wild and Gloria grabbed the gun from me and let her have it. She's lying. How could she make you? She threatened me. She's got something on her.  I don't care. She can tell what she knows, but I can prove she killed Brenda. I wore gloves and Gloria didn't. I still have the gun and the only thing to Prince Honored are Gloria. You'll stay here! I figured she might try to double cross me. What about her, Gloria? Right, all right. I did it. I did it. I shot her. I couldn't stand it any longer. Turn on the lights, Joe. Hey, is she dead? It's her. Brenda ain't dead. Good, Gloria. Oh, yes. Brenda's dead, all right. Quite dead. And what is she? You'll find out, Gloria, what a strange quirk of fate. It was your money that caused all this. It was you who put me through law school so that I could defend you. And now I'll be forced to be your prosecutor. I'm sorry, Gloria. Terribly sorry. Well, Gloria, you've come to the end of your rope. Things didn't work out as you planned. You really killed Brenda that night, but Fred got a brilliant idea. He had Nella, Brenda's twin sister, come up from Nassau and cause as opposed to his wife. That's how all the pictures appeared in the papers. And it was Nella who just walked in on you and got a confession. And how did Fred know you were the one? There were several suspects, but you, Gloria, made the mistake of phoning for Brenda too many times. And the police traced your cause. Too bad, Gloria. Jealousy is a terrible thing. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, Just as presented, the Whistler. Original music for this production is composed and conducted by Wilbur Hatch.

Okay, folks, welcome to our technical analysis of Twilio, ticker symbol, TWLO. What we're gonna talk about on this video is a bit about their earnings. Then we'll segue over to into the technicals and we'll do a deep dive into Twilio stock. And what I mean in the deep dive, I mean, what we wanna do is we wanna take a look at Twilio on the charts, not from a daily or an intraday view. What we wanna do is do a high level macro view, meaning I wanna take a look at the monthly charts, the weekly charts, the daily charts to get a feel for where the stock has been, how it's been performing of late in this somewhat dicey market. And that'll help us determine as to whether or not we wanna buy, sell, or hold Twilio on this earnings report. And if we do not want to buy Twilio on this earnings report, well then where would we want to enter the trade?  And what I mean by catalyst is what could help propel the share price of Twilio higher if we decide if we wanted to get long of the shares?  They're, every other day, they're taking X number of dollars out of my accounts for the SMS text alert service that we provide to our members. So I will admit to being biased towards the company and not in a bad way but actually in a good way because from where I sit, they're just printing money. So let's get to it. Let's get to the news after hours that sent the shares down lower in the after hours session. This is a four hour chart. You can see that we're down by about $4 per share, not a major drop here.  One thing I've learned from my years of trading is that the knee jerk reaction is 90% of the times the inaccurate reaction and of course, sellers moved in, took it off the highs of the session and you can see that we have been putting in lower highs and lower lows of late even prior to the earnings report. But this is a four hour chart, nothing to dictate whether or not we want to invest in the company to make an investment decision. We want to be better educated with regard to the charts from again, a higher level of you, monthly chart, weekly chart, daily chart at a bare minimum. So let's get to it. Okay, so the headline off of MarketWatch was Twilio shares climbed 4% on better than expected revenue. This is true, no doubt about it. But then the attention of traders was turned towards the EPS, Earnings Per Share. And here's where things get a little bit dicey. Their loss relative to a year ago period rolled in at 79 cents per share, versus 64 cents a share in the year ago quarter. Now it has me still optimistic about the shares is that revenue vaulted by 52% amazing growth year. Now moving on to Investors to Business Daily where you can see that they grew their active user base by 21% year over year. That's really nice growth. And obviously that helped fuel their sales growth, but unfortunately what hurt their EPS was their longer term investments in the company. And this is what you'd expect from a rapidly growing growth stock. This is what's going to happen. And what I think the market is gonna hold on to here, at least in the short term, is that due to the investments, Twilio said it expects a loss in the range of eight cents to 11 cents versus the analyst estimates of one set adjusted profit. So guidance, not wonderful, but certainly no reason to go shorting the shares unless the charts tell us otherwise. Because when you take a look at the IBD ratings on this company, I mean it's simply outstanding. The Composite rating of 97, the Industry Group Relative Strength, A plus. This is a sector that's in favor and the Accumulation Distribution rating, meaning the balance of shares being accumulated versus distributed is clearly bullish. Price change year to date, 205, nearly 206% on the year thus far and within the past four weeks it's up over three and a half percent. So longer term, I don't think that the news today out of Twilio is gonna amount to a hill of beans. I think that any pullback here is going to be an opportunity. The question is, is our opportunity on the pullback after hours or is there a better entry point to wait for these shares? To answer that question, let's go to the charts. Okay, so to begin our technical analysis of Twilio and as to whether or not we believe that the shares are a buy, sell, or hold, we're gonna begin with a monthly chart to get that higher level view to identify where the shares have been to get a feel for where they might be going. And you can see that from May through to July, the shares have become very, very frothy. That was reflected in the pullback that we saw in August, September. But what was nice here is that we broke out this month above the upper band of resistance. The however here is that we're beginning to see a fade, a large fade off the highs of the month. And that was going into earnings. Now this monthly chart is reflective of the after hours price action, our RSI putting in higher lows, no breakout yet, validating the monthly breakout on price. Stokes, not going the direction where you'd want them to, but they're still healthy. They're well above the 50 mark as reflected in dotted line here. And they could have quite possibly hooked back up continuing the rally here. So the monthly chart, I have to give this a bullish thumbs up, but the weekly charts and daily charts could influence as to whether or not I would want to buy these shares now or at a lower price, weekly chart. Now this weekly chart does reflect the after hours price action. Now we do have a couple of support levels below, which we bounced off of this evening, right around 288.50 per share. The question is, does this hold? And if it doesn't hold, where is it going next? The second line of support would be right down here at 275, 276 per share. We are seeing lower highs on RSI. We were seeing lower lows. The question is, do we break out on RSI or does price give away? And then we begin to break down to new lower lows. The jury's out. So this chart here, while still net bullish, does raise some eyebrows. Now looking at the daily chart, the daily chart, we went into the day clearly putting in lower highs. We double topped out. First peak was back on October the 18th. Second peak in lower high was on the 19th. We did break down to a new low on the 15th. So we are in a confirmed short-term downtrend. We did manage to break out on Friday, but today an effort to capitalize on that breakout saw a rejection and then of course, a sell-off on the news. Daily chart, RSI, lower highs, lower lows, still casting a trading down below the 50 mark. And what I always teach members is that when you have RSI and Stokes, Stokes in particular, trading down below the 50 mark, you'll see that rallies tend to fade, folks. So if they manage to rally these shares tomorrow, I would not be a buyer of the shares because my bet is, is that they're gonna do exactly as they did today. They rallied and then the shares faded. Now going back to the weekly chart, if we fail to hold 288.50, we're coming down here to around 277. This line is declining, so keep that in mind. So the longer it takes to get down to the support level, the lower the price is going to be. Now we can overlay some automated trend lines using Trendspider. This is a great tool for anyone, beginners and for experienced people like me. I use this as my spell check for technical analysis or if I'm gonna hurry, it's a really big helpful tool for new traders. It's very good if you're learning how to identify support and resistance levels, manually draw your support and resistance levels, and then click the button to see how accurate you are. Anyway, I digress. If you're interested, there's a 35% discount code below in the video description area. Use that link, 35% off. Let's get back to the analysis. If we break this support level of 288 or down at around 277, we can ultimately end up down here at around, let's call it, this is rising 250 to 255 per share. So what I wanna do here is I'm going to create alert. I'm not willing to buy the shares at the support level, but I do wanna get notified if we break through it. Okay, so my alert is set. I wanna know whether or not we break 288.50 per share on a daily timeframe. I put a couple of notes to myself to check the weekly charts for support levels below and we'll keep it active for five days. If it hasn't broken down below 288.50 within the next five business days, well then it's probably not going to in the short term anyway. I also wanna know when we hit this support level here, this is support level number one. I'm gonna keep my sensitivity fairly low. I could broaden it out if I wanna get in the neighborhood, but I wanna use a true number because ideally what you wanna see is an overshoot to the downside below the support level and then a bullish reversal bar to close back above it. Now this alert here, I wanna get notified if we break through, touch or bounce. Why do I wanna know if we break through it? Because I know that I have a much more interesting support level below here in green at which I would love to get long off Twilio. We're gonna keep this active for the next 10 days. We're good to go. And I wanna know if and when we hit this support level in green. Okay, so our alert for this support level in green is I wanna know when we touch or bounce a little bit of sensitivity, daily time. You know what, let's make this a one hour timeframe. Note to self, Twilio primary support level hit. This is really where I wanna get involved. This would make it a wish list stock. I wanna keep this active for about three weeks and we're good to go. So now let's talk about our catalyst that would send this stock up higher. Now, keep in mind that I'm looking for the price to come down significantly from where it is trading after hours. Now there are two catalysts that should help this company move up higher. One of which I already discussed and that is simply the fundamentals are outstanding. Despite today's earnings report, yes, the EPS rating is probably gonna come in a little bit but at this stage of the game for a growth stock, this is what you wanna pay attention to. Sales percentage changed last quarter and the three year sales growth rate and they are very, very strong and there's no sign of abating. In fact, the news was very good today implying that these metrics are only going to get stronger. Now the second catalyst and this is really for the benefit of those that are looking to swing trade for the very short term, the catalyst is a roughly three and a half days short squeeze potential but I would not bet on a short squeeze until we hit a primary support level as I documented on the chart earlier. So wait for support levels to get hit. Members, I'll be sending out alerts when we do execute a trade on Twilio. Most likely we will be entering this trade at some point in time. I'm a big fan of the company. Again, I am a customer and any sell off based upon this earnings report to me is an opportunity assuming that we get it at our predetermined price and for that we'll allow the alerts to do the work for us and ignore it until such time as our alerts fire off and we use a rules based approach of entering the trade only when the shares come to us, especially in a shaky market that we're in at current.

All right, let's go back here and play it as in full first 1037 NNJ here's Pink Floyd Alright, well now that we are in a bit more steppy breakdowny mode. I think It's a bit tricky. This is where the where I am more recommending a spline approach just because I'm gonna turn down that volume just a tad Especially the mouth part Is so clackety and and sharp with all the movements. It's hard to say If you would spline this this would be like an up and on up and up and on every frame So you really have to simplify at what points do we actually need a jaw down movement? What can we do just with shapes? 1037 NNJ here Like the NNJ could be just mostly jaw down and shape changes and with an accent on J Headwise It could be cool Just those moments like here as you go back Here and then you have that sudden stop and then we have no movement I know this is stepped but once you would spline this you can have Fast movement with a bit of a hole and going forward and then going back. Let's go back here That that's the section there We go back forward back hold forward Not sure I would definitely just for your own sanity Spline and then go back spline and then go back to just to kind of double-check what's going on I'm concerned that there's a lot of There's going to be a lot of messiness right now Same thing with the arms If you're doing this I would still look at well if I'm doing a move like this and go up You're still going to have a bit more in the shoulder influence because the arm going up And then if the arm goes up you're gonna have a little bit of rotation in the chest and a bit of the Movement up in the chest as well Now that has to be all for real, but it's going to be definitely more influence than this right now I'm just concerned that if you would spline us right now be a bit of a mess But in terms of the actions and when what happens, I think it's cool It's good detail on the fingers. It's getting ready 1037 and NJ and I like that he leans forward and he has even that arm a bit up Here's pink Floyd and then he has that move going back with the arc The only thing I would say potentially acting wise that Excuse me. I like that you have This it's like he's he's almost tense like, you know He has to have the energy up and he has to deliver everything What if during all of this you also bring up the shoulders of it so that it's almost Ramping up the shoulders especially through here so that at the end when he's right before the the smackdown here Imagine the shoulders are just higher so we feel a tenseness and then when you do BAM And he does this and I know we don't see it because arms are going up, but the cookie just a feeling of oh Relaxing and dropping of shoulders, but even that dropping of shoulders could be happening somewhat through here It might be too fast just as an idea for you from here drop shoulders into what you have now Then into that it might be too fast of dropping and then going back up because you have this happening here because of this Just a thought other than that I like that this This might be a bit much as you go back that amount of recoil and impact BAM right there I'm just my my concern is that this is going to look like Too much of a drag overlap so it's animated versus him going So it's a an acting moment versus an animation moment if that makes sense But that's cool, and I wonder since we're getting into this that you might need another maybe 10 15 frames to hold Like I feel like I want to feel the But that we cut out right away, so I feel like you're going to need another maybe even half seconds More than half second almost a second at the end just so to finish that beat of that relaxation But it's a nice clean pose the silhouette is great Yeah, my biggest concern is just the the flappiness of the jaw and just all the the kind of separate moves like here We're thinking just kind of pop in and out and I know this is the nature of step mode But I'm to me. It's the feeling of stuff like this where it's not a post change. It's just what are moving So you're gonna have to have more You know influence on the body like I said before as you spline this Maybe email me let me know did you spline this but like what does it look like how messy is it? You might have to go spline and then simplify things a bit more But generally the way the the flow is and then the beads and we turn the sound off. I think this is all cool I would say either add more Details in your breakdowns or spline this of course, I'm always more into the spliney cam So we can really see the actual timing and the details so we can really get into the nitty gritty But that's that's all right. Thank you All right, there's an email you can sign up you can start whenever you want you can submit whatever you want You get 16 submissions either way a like and subscribe would be awesome. All right. Thank you


human comfort. Spice with a brisk flavor and you have Lipton's tea. Yes and serve it only to people who know how to enjoy life. For Lipton's famous brisk flavor makes this tea a grand welcome drink. You see brisk means that Lipton's tastes tangy and spirited. Never flatter and sip it. So friends I wish you'd try Lipton's even if you're not a regular tea drinker. That brisk flavor is something very special. It's the reason why you'll like Lipton's. Well I'll hear the personal question. How would you like to go on a honeymoon? Hmm? Well, it's the proper stuff. I just want to be alone with you two for the rest of my life. Maybe I hope you know my spending a honeymoon in a tourist cabin instead of a swanky hotel. Sure. The stream rushing past. The moonlight shining on the bridge. The wards all around. There's another car. They're parking on the bridge. The headlights are too. I guess I can't see a spot. That couple is getting out of the car. Yeah. We're walking a bridge I guess. I wonder if this is their wedding night too. That's a gorgeous couple. Joe? What? That couple. They're acting very strange. They're having an argument. Joe! Look what he just took out of his pocket. Holy mackerel. A gun. He's pointing the gun at her. The body crumbled at his feet. He's picking her up. I bet he's going to throw her in the water. Joe! Joe! He's coming across the bridge. Heading for us. What? He knows we're waiting somewhere. I'm so anymore. Nancy, look. You should suddenly stop. I brought all these wards with us. What the folks? I've been here. I brought you a jug of magic. Aren't you going to try my cider? I thought you'd like to drink a toast. Well, we're not very tasty right now, Mr. Swenson. Oh, no. We'll go back to thinking about it.  And remember, you just don't...
