Hey friends, it's Flare. I received a comment on a recent video about how to make a counter for your stream that doesn't reset when the bot is closed. I always like to say I'll help you solve the issues you have when you ask questions in my comments, so I'm putting my money where my mouth is and making a video in response to this question. So here is how to create a counter for your stream using persistent variables in Streamerbot. The key to having a counter not expire or reset when the bot is closed is to use persistent global variables. The data for these variables is saved in a dat file behind the scenes instead of just being saved in memory. So when the bot is closed and reopened, it's able to recover the previous value of these variables. In this example, I'll show you how to set up a command to leverage one of these variables. The most basic example of this is to just have one single command that both increments the variable and displays the updated count. To set this up, go to the actions tab, right click and select add. Name it whatever you want. In this case, we're calling it counter. Under subactions, the first thing we want to do is get the existing value of this variable if it already exists. Right click and choose add subaction, logic, global, get. In the dialog that appears, make sure global is selected in the dropdown and make sure the persistent checkbox is checked. This is what makes it the variable keep its value even after Streamerbot is closed. The variable name box is the name of the global persisted variable that you want to access. The destination variable is the temporary variable you want to store the value of the global in so you can use it in subsequent actions and subactions. The reason it's done this way is so you don't have to worry about the global variable getting updated behind the scenes by another action running concurrently. I'll just use persistent counter as the variable name and global persistent counter as the destination and we'll set a default to zero. This default value allows us to set what value this variable will start at if it hasn't been run yet and we don't have a stored value. Next, we want to increment this value by one. Right click and choose add subaction, logic, global, set. Use the same variable name again here, persistent counter. Then in the dropdown, choose increment and in the box next to it, enter one. You can use this to increment by any number you want, including negative numbers, in case you want to make a command to decrement this variable instead of increment. We'll talk about that later though. Next, and this is the part that seems a little bit unnecessary, but really isn't. We want to get the global variable again to update our local value before outputting the message. Let's just duplicate that first subaction we made to keep it easy. Technically, we don't need to set the default to zero this time we get it since we know that there's a value already set since we've just set it. So I'm going to go in and remove that now. Now we're ready to output the value of our counter. To do this, right click and choose add subaction, twitch, send message to channel. Set the message to use the destination variable from that global get subaction. In this case, I set the whole message to be value of this counter is global persistent counter. Now let's set up the command. Go to the commands tab, right click and choose add. In the commands box, put the name of the command you wish. In this case, I'll do exclamation counter. Now click the box next to action and choose the counter action we just made. We'll leave everything else alone for now and click okay, and we're ready to test. Now over in chat we can type exclamation counter to test our command. The first time it runs I expect to see it at one and then subsequent times I expect it to increment by one each time. Now to test the persistence of the counter, I'll close Streamerbot entirely. While we're closed, I can show you where the values of these persistent variables are kept. If you open your streamerbot folder and then the data sub folder, you should see a file named globals.dat. You open up this file with your text editor of choice, which is sublime, right? You'll see a big blob of text, which is actually just a JSON object containing all the global variables. Amongst all of this we can search for our variable persistent counter and we'll see the most recent value right here. This can be useful in case you need to manually edit one of these global variables, but I don't really recommend manually messing with this file unless you absolutely have to. Let's launch Streamerbot again and test this command. Now that it's loaded again, I'd expect to see the next number in the series when I type exclamation counter again, even though the bot was closed. Yep, there it is. The most common use I've seen for this kind of thing is a death counter, but it could also be fun to give your moderators of man to track all kinds of things. Sneezes on stream, times the streamer swears, times the streamer has gotten up and gone to the bathroom, really anything you can think of. You may also want to separate this out into a few different commands. For example, my death counter has a command just to show the count that anyone can use and then there's commands to increment and decrement by one and by five. There's also a command to set it to zero or set it to a specific number, but we're just talking about how to use these persistent variables to set up commands in the first place. So I'm not going to get into all of that.

I've got more videos coming soon, but I wanted to squeeze this in to prove to you all that I'm listening to your requests, and I really will do my best to help if you just ask for help. I stream on Sunday and Monday nights over at twitch.tv slash flair, and I'm always down to talk about bot stuff on stream. I'm usually willing to drop whatever I'm doing and show you stuff in my own bot during stream too. I also have a small but growing discord server where I'm available off stream to talk about this kind of stuff and answer your questions. Thanks again for watching, and as always, remember to spread love, not hate.


In this Monday makeup lesson, I'm going to be teaching you how to recreate this makeup look. If you're new to the makeup to your channel, then click subscribe below. It's totally free. And if you're already subscribed, then thank you and welcome back. Hope you enjoy this look and let's get started. To create this look, I use the Fenty Beauty Palette No. 1, which is the neutral palette. I love these shades so much. It's just a perfect little neutral palette. You've got three mattes and three shimmers in here. A great selection to create any neutral look that you'd want to wear day to day or even for a special occasion. Now, I'm not great at swatching, but I do want to say that they feel buttery and creamy and lovely. And on the eyes, which I feel is the best place to show you, this is what it looks like. So I use the matte shades to create our framework. So that's on the outer edge, the crease, and under the brow. And then I also use the shimmers as a one, two, three on the lid. I'll explain exactly what I'm doing, but I just wanted to show you guys on the eyes. So let's get started with recreating this look. So as always, I started off by applying some eyeshadow primer all over the lid. Now my lid is kind of sticky, so I'm actually going to start off with the neutral shade. You don't necessarily have to do this, but for beginners, I find having a silky base to work on just makes the whole process so much easier. So if your lid feels a little sticky, just take a translucent powder or in this case, we're going to use the light base shade, which is the first matte shade. Now, this is about one shade lighter than my skin tone. That's why I'm using it. However, if you're not as pale as me, you might want to add in a little bit of the other two matte shades in to make sure your base isn't too light. You never want your base to be too light, particularly if you have hooded eyes because it will make your eyes look more hooded. But for me, this is about one shade lighter. So I'm going to take that on my blending brush. I'm going to apply that all over my lid. And what that's going to do is just set the lid in place. And because it's the same formula as the other shades, it's also going to create a nice silky base for us to work on and blend over the top of. I find it works so much better using an eyeshadow versus using just translucent powder, you just get a better blend. So when we take our next shade, which is our mid tone shade, I'm going to be using the one in the middle. It should be about half a shade darker to a shade darker than your own skin tone. Once again, mix and match those matte shades to find the right one for you, provided you keep it matte, because mid tones should always be matte. I'm going to take a pencil brush. So any sort of smaller brush that you have, don't use your blending brush just yet, because we want to make sure this is quite precise. So that's why I like using a pencil brush and we're going to be working in this area. So this is the crease of the eye. This is where the lid creases into the eye shape. And we're going to then be blending it upwards towards the brows.  So this is where the outer edge is. I'm going to start just slightly in from that. This will just prevent my eyeshadows from blending out too far when I go in to blend them. You never want your eyeshadows to blend out too far. You want it to be nice and lifted. And the best way to do that is just take your brush, lay it up against the edge of your nose, eye and brow and remember to keep your eyeshadows in from that point. So place your brush just slightly in from that point. You should end up with something that looks like this. Now I've placed a lot there. We're going to blend it in a second. But I just wanted to show you the area that it's going to be in. Also, keep your eyes open. This way, you're making sure that you're really hitting that crease area above the lid. Remembering to keep it in from that outer edge.  And also, if you're wondering where to stop and start from the inner corner as well, just create like a parallel line and use your lid as a guide for that. And just keep your eyeshadows in from these two points. So now that I feel like I have enough eyeshadow on there and we're keeping in between our two imaginary lines, I'm not going to take my blending brush and I'm going to softly sweep and blend this out. You might ask, why didn't I use a pencil brush for this? Pencil brush doesn't have that same soft blended feel as a fluffy brush does. That's why we use a fluffy or a blending brush to soften out our eyeshadows. So I'm just going to blend this over and back in the crease area. Remembering to keep within our lines again, blending slightly upwards towards the brows where it should eventually fade into nothing. Now we're moving on to our next shade. I'm going to take the contour. So I'm going to use the darker shade as my contour, which again, is a matte shade. It doesn't necessarily have to be matte, but in this case it is. And I'm going to take that pencil brush again. It does have a little bit of mid-tone on it, but that's okay because it's going to help with the blend. Now what I want to do with this is I'm going to create a wedge shape on the outer edge. So I start by stamping just on the outer third and then I bring it down onto the lash line and then I softly sweep it upwards. Remembering to keep that nice upward motion towards the edge of the brow, keeping within our lines again, very important, but this will give the eye a lifted appearance. Once I have that on there, I then take my blending brush and I'm going to softly sweep this out. So what I do first of all is I sweep over and back like downwards. This will just soften out the eyeshadow a little bit. And remember not to blend out too far, keeping it within that imaginary line. And once I've done that, I can then sweep it over and back in the crease. So going into the inner corner. So you really want to keep our eyes to those in this sort of area. So right by the lash line and then up and over into the crease, but our mid-tone is always higher than our contour. So don't bring this up too high. Keep it nice and low on that outer third and on the outer third of the lid and the crease. Very important. Now I just want to mention this real quick because I've had a few comments about it. People think that my blending isn't great because of this sort of area here. As you can see, it looks like the eyeshadow was kind of choppy or patchy in this area. It's actually not, I have a lot of veins in this area, probably from doing makeup tutorials to be honest. And so basically it has like a texture there which makes the eyeshadow look like it's not doing its job, but it is, I promise you. It's just when I have my eye at a certain angle, the vein looks a little bit more obvious and then it eventually settles after a while. But I wanted to mention it just because I have had a few comments about it. So now I can direct people to this video to help them understand it, but there you go. Now we're gonna move on to our next shade and this time I'm gonna be using my fingertips and I'm gonna start off with that pinky tone and this pinky tone doesn't actually show up that pink, at least on me it doesn't. It has more of like a rose goldy sort of feel to it and I'm just gonna apply that on the inner corner of the lid. So not anywhere else, inner corner of the lid. I then took the other shade which is the darker shade next to it which has that sort of bronzy tone, love it so much. Actually it's a smoky eye, this would be beautiful but I just took this on the outer edge of the eye once again using my fingertips. Don't blend it just yet, just apply it onto the lid and then I took the first shimmer on the last row and I just used this on the center of the lid just to add a nice bright appearance because I love the way that it hit the light. So that way we have pink in the inner corner, the champagne-y color on the center and then the bronze on the outer edge. So you should end up with something like this. Once you've done that, you can then take your blending brush and just very lightly, very lightly just sweep over the top just to soften out any harsh lines. If you don't have harsh lines, don't worry about it. You probably don't have to do this. To add a little bit more dimension to the look I am then gonna take that contour shade again which is that matte shade and I'm just going to apply that right at the lash line just kind of pressing it at the lash line just to add definition. And then what I did is I mixed the last two matte shades together. So the first one that I was using and then the other one as well. I just applied this underneath the eye just once again to add some dimension working just underneath the lashes on the outer two thirds of the lower lid. So you should end up with something that looks like this.  It seems so complicated because I break it down in so many steps but I promise you it's not.

In this presentation we will discuss mixed costs. In prior presentation we discussed the concept of breaking out costs, not how we normally see them on the income statement by their function, by what they do, by what their purpose. Support a counting instruction by clicking the link below, giving you a free month membership to all of the content on our website, broken out by category, further broken out by course. Each course then organized in a logical, reasonable fashion, making it much more easy to find what you need than can be done on a YouTube page. We also include added resources such as Excel practice problems, PDF files, and more like QuickBooks backup files when applicable. So once again click the link below for a free month membership to our website and all the content on it is, but instead by behavior by how they act. And we had two standard categories about how costs act. We group things into two standard categories, those between variable costs and fixed costs, variable costs being things like materials which will go up with production level, down with production level, and those things that won't go up or down with production level, for example, the rent. So if we had something like the units here units increasing as we increase the units of production, we see that variable costs will go up such as direct materials will typically go up because it's going to go up with an increase in the production level. However, fixed costs like the rent as the units go up stay the same. There we have that 20,000 total costs then have a variable and fixed component to it. So we've seen this in prior presentations. If we were to graph this, then we could see it clearly on the graph here. This 20,000 represents the fixed costs, this red line being the fixed costs that are staying the same as the production level increases, the red line stays the same. The variable costs start at zero, meaning if we don't make anything, then we don't have any variable costs and they're going up at a constant rate in this example because they're going up as we go up with production each new item giving a fixed level that will increase at a constant slope in this case. And those are the variable costs total costs then start at the fixed cost area because of course at zero production level, we still have to pay the rent and then they're going to increase at a standard level in relationship to the increase in the variable costs. So this would be the great this is nice and neat. It's easy for us to see in this format. However, there is the fact that we can't normally break out all costs between this nice neat fixed and variable costs. Sometimes we're going to have what's known as mixed costs and we're going to have to go through all of our costs, all of our expenses and say is it variable? Is it fixed or is it mixed? If it's mixed, then we're going to have to do something to it to break it out to its components. So mixed costs could be something like wages because wages we know it's going to have maybe a salary component. We're going to have part of the wages that are salaries and we might have part of the wages that are commissioned. The commission is more of a variable cost. The salaries are more of a fixed cost. So we might have other kind of variables involved. So when we look at just the expense item, we can't just say well that cost is variable or fixed. It's going to be mixed in some format. We're going to have to do some work there then if we want to break it out into the components of the two, which we do, which are variable and fixed for the CVP analysis. Utilities might have a different breakout for different reasons. So it might have a fixed base amount. For example, if we don't do anything, we might have a base amount of utilities. We still have to pay some utilities possibly. And then it might go up at some type of fixed or variable type of rate after that point. So it might act as a variable at some point. So you can see that then when we think about these mixed costs, in other words, we're going to have to go through all of our costs first of all and see where they categorize them. Are they fixed? Are they variable? Are they mixed? And then we're going to have to go look at those mixed costs and look how they behave. How can we break these out? Because that's what we're going to want to do between the fixed and variable portion of these mixed costs. And as we do so, we need to consider what kind of things we'll probably see there. Something like this, where wage is acting a little bit differently than the mixed costs of utilities. All mixed costs, in other words, are not going to be the same. What do you do for the CVP in the terms of these fixed costs, of these mixed costs? We separate them as best we can. It is not a perfect world. This is not accounting. It's not a perfect world. We're going to have to be using estimates. We're going to have to go into these mixed costs and say, okay, we don't like, we can't do mixed costs. They're too confusing. We don't want to deal with them. We need to break them out between fixed and variable. That's what we have to have for our contribution margin income statement. Mixed costs don't fit in there at all. So we're going to have to break those out somehow. It's not going to be perfect to do this. So we're going to have to go through all of those mixed costs and try to figure out how best can we do that. And there's certain methods to do this. Now, remember, these methods are not generally accepted accounting principles. They're not written in stone anywhere. These are best practices for us to try to consider. How best we can break these out so that we can do the work of projections into the future, which of course, in and of themselves are not perfect, their estimates, their projections into the future. So we're not financial accounting is more about us taking something that already happened and reporting it in accordance with a certain set of rules. Here we're projecting into the future. So we're trying to think, what's the best thing we can do? What matters in terms of our decision making? What doesn't matter in terms of our decision making? How can we break these out in some type of way that's a good estimate that will help us for decisions but also doesn't cost too much for us to be grinding these numbers out forever? We can grind numbers out forever. So one way that the the mixed costs could be broken out is we could have a stepwise type cost. And this might be something like salaries. We might see this in salaries where the salaries act kind of variable for a while and then they plateau and they become fixed. So we might see in terms of administrative salaries, this might happen where it's fixed for a certain amount because they have salaries. And then maybe at some point in time, there's bonuses or maybe at some point in time after a certain production level, then there's a salary increase or something like that. And therefore we see this kind of step pattern for those type of costs. Well, when we see that type of pattern, we can we can say, okay, we see we see this type of pattern and we can predict that type of pattern. We can we can take that into consideration when we consider our forecasting into the future, our projections. We can usually treat it then as either fixed or variable by analyzing this pattern and just and thinking about, okay, is this the relevant range when we're talking about a variable type of range or is this the relevant range that we're thinking about in our projection that's a fixed type of range. And therefore within our analysis, we may be able to break out within those ranges, whether it be fixed or variable, that's one way we can kind of step or treat a certain type of mixed costs when we see this type of pattern. We also might see more of a curvilinear type of cost pattern. In other words, it's not going up in a straight linear line, but instead it's got a shape to it. And that's going to have some changes. So now it's not as easy to deal with. Obviously straight lines are a lot easier to deal with. So now we see that as as this goes up as the units go up, the mixed cost is going up, but it's not going up at a standard amount. It might be something like direct labor. It's where we might see a pattern such as this because the direct labor can be a little bit confusing. Of course, it's not completely straightforward. We might be paying someone hourly as they make the production levels, but things can change within the production level. For example, if we start hiring people, the first people that we hire will typically increase our production level more quickly. And then at some point it'll flatten out. If we hire more people, then they won't increase the production level quite as quickly. And then at some point in time, of course, if we hire more people, they'll actually get in the way of each other. And our productivity won't increase with more people that we hire. So in that case, then we're not going to see possibly the straight line variable cost system in a curvilinear type of cost system such as this, we're going to have to figure out then because we want to graph in terms of a straight line for the CVP analysis so that we can make a nice easy type of analysis. So in cases like this, we have this kind of funny curvilinear mixed costs. We're going to have to figure out some kind of ways. Well, how can we break this out into such a way that make it strictly variable and a strictly fixed type of portion? That's what we'll need to see more of a linear type of fashion so that we can put this into a contribution margin income statement so we can use projections into the future. We'll discuss a few ways to do that in future presentations.
