What Are Positive Daily Affirmations?

Affirmations are positive thoughts or statements about some outcome you wish to achieve, such as wealth, success, or health. Instead of negative self-talk, you can use positive daily affirmations to direct what your focus will be. You can conquer your past and present fears, and enjoy your present or create the future by affirmation. Affirmations redirect your values, help formulate goals, or prepare you for situations, whenever or wherever they may occur.
You can say your positive daily affirmations silently or aloud to yourself. Repetition of affirmations will also counteract negative thoughts that may stream through your mind, automatically sometimes. You may write affirmations on a card ─ carried in your pocket, taped to a mirror, or placed where it is always visible to you. Repeat your positive affirmations at intervals throughout your day, to reinforce the positive belief and to maintain a positive state of mind.
It takes constant practice to focus on an affirming thought. Initially, you may not find it easy to hear the affirmation above the internal noise of negative thoughts and feelings. Given enough time, however, you can change most of the basic ideas about yourself by positive daily affirmations.

How To Develop Your Own Postive Daily Affirmations?

Self-developed affirmations (the ones you compose yourself) are the most effective positive daily affirmations. If you couple them with clearly defined written goals and applied faith, their power is unlimited.
To be truly effective, you must write your own affirmations and believe in them; they must have a profound impact on you emotionally. Your firm belief that what you are affirming is possible is crucial, because once you start believing that something is possible, it becomes probable. Without that firm belief, further repetition of your affirmations will just be futile. An affirmation should be a belief in yourself. The desires and dreams that your mind can conceive bear seeds of possibility, and possibilities ultimately become realities.
The emotional dimension of each affirmation should never be overlooked. When you can actually ‘feel' your affirmation, not just utter or read them, their total impact increases immensely. The written affirmations (thus your goals) must ignite an emotional reaction in you, else they simply fall flat.
You should state your positive daily affirmations in the present tense, that is, use "I am..." rather than "I will be..." Saying things in the present tense will program your subconscious mind to believe that what you affirm is already fact. When the subconscious believes that, it will start arranging for bringing what you affirm to you. In other words, the subconscious will drive you to perform the actions needed to live out what you affirm; and, acting thus, you will create the circumstances that make them actually happen for you.
Another important guideline in formulating your affirmations is to write them in the positive state. Many people have the tendency to write affirmations in the negative state ─ which immediately defeats the purpose and the effectiveness of the affirmation. Affirmations written from the negative perspective will never work.
When you convince yourself not to follow certain behaviour, you only bring yourself from the negative to neutral, but there is no movement forward to the positive. When you underscore the positive, you automatically start from a positive note, and you naturally shift your mind-set to forward-looking, positive thinking.

Put Careful Thought Before Affirming

I am intelligent and know what I want.

Additional Considerations For Positive Daily Affirmations

1. Because your experience will create the conditions that allow affirmations to manifest, word the affirmations carefully to make them crystal-clear. State your real, innermost desires and articulate your most expansive sense of self. Affirmations based on a narrow self-concept deliver results that fall short, cause suffering, and further diminish the sense of self.
2. Be deliberate in your affirmations. Spontaneous thoughts voiced out in an intense emotional state may produce undesirable effects, so consider many possible alternatives before choosing the affirmation to silently intone. Silent affirmations are more effective than spoken statements, because they entail more intensity of concentration and resonate through your entire body instead of in your surroundings.
3. Link your affirmations to actual daily actions to lay the ground for their manifestation. For instance, affirming that you will win the lottery can only be set in motion when you play in it.
4. Find a way to make it easy for you to do positive daily affirmations. You may find that it is not a habit for you to make these statements on a regular basis. To circumvent this problem, I have been using Subliminal Power, a software that sits on my PC, flashing out subliminal affirmations subtlely as I work. I figured this to be a better solution for me than using an audio, since I am on the PC more often and am not in the habit of listening to a music CD.

You can of course, choose to do a screensaver, using powerpoint slides, with all your positive affirmations in there. This is how my husband does his, on his laptop.
However, I feel that the effect is different. My affirmations get flashed unobstructively on my screen as I work, whereas my husband only gets to see his list of affirmations when he is not on his keyboard for a couple of minutes.

HIS 2011 Paper Presentation & KL trip

So, I just got back from presenting my paper at the HIS 2011 conference in Melacca. What a trip!

Arrived at KL and took a shuttle bus to KL Sentral. Took a LRT ride to Tmn Bahagia, where Michael was waiting for me. Thank God for good friends. I had a pleasant stay with him at his place for the week while I was at KL.

Received many opportunities from this trip. Met Samantha Ong and had dinner with her. Mentioned about Junior Chambers International (JCI) and she helped us spoke to Terry about it so we could join. Leong Seng Tat, from JCI E-Metro KL called and met with us. He called a member from JCI Kota Kinabalu, forwarded me to them, and gave them my cell umber to reach me. My uncle has also asked us to build his company's site. Apart from that, Michael and I registered our company, NinetyEight Solutions.

Although at the conference, no one asked me any questions besides the session coordinator. I was hoping for some criticism but received none. What a disappointment. haha.

Another thing, my laptop overheated :(

Stay tuned for some photos.

Interesting paper

MSC: Experiment running on all 5 PCs in Lab

Set up all 5 PCs to run experiments now. Will start Experiment on track 2 tonight or tomorrow morning.

Plan to meet Dr James tomorrow, Oct 7, Friday.

Write Paper 2!!

MSC: Text from - izhikevich and ffnn docx

Below is the copy-pasted text from the document "izhikevich and ffnn.docx"

Reason for pasting it here is so that I could delete that doc file and refer to the text here.

Abstract

The Izhikevich spiking neural network model is investigated as a method to develop controllers for a simple, but not trivial, car racing game, called TORCS. The controllers are evolved using the Evolutionary Strategy, and the performance of the best individuals are compared with the hand-coded controller included with the game.

racing competition is a wat wat wat, and since networks of spiking neurons have been gaining popularity in recent years, a great curiosity emerged to want to find out if a spiking neural network could perform as well or better than the other techniques used to train the driver. This paper investigates the performance of the Izhikevich spiking neural network model applied to the TORCS racing game, and trained using Evolutionary Strategy. The evolved driver is compared with the hand-coded driver included in the TORCS championship platform.

Introduction

Many methods have been used to optimize the TORCS game driver for the cig competition, curious if spiking neural network could also perform well in it. Hence, compared the network with the simple driver provided with the competition client.

Results – the spiking neural network does perform better.

Machine learning methods can be used to solve any simulated control problems. In this paper, an evolutionary optimization technique is used to evolve a controller to drive a simulated racing car. The car control is handled by an artificial neural network, using Evolutionary Strategies for the tuning of the weights. Different experiments are run in order to explore combinations of training parameters.

MSC: Torcs Suprisingly Runs on Vista - Finally

Tried running the experiment of Sigmoidal ANN on PC2's native OS, Vista, and surprisingly returned no error. Will duplicate it and run the experiment on PC3 and PC5, which also runs Vista.

MSC: Gen2 ANN Experiment

Today start the experiment with the 2nd generation sigmoidal ANNs.

MSC: Submitted to HIS 2011

Dr J finally replied my email. What a relief!
So I continued on and submitted my 1st paper to HIS 2011 top cnference.

Thank You Jesus. Amen.

MSC: Paper ready for submission

Finish adding in the path driven and SNN spike train. Also revised ES to EP.
Revised some format to reflect the IEEE format for HIS2011


I finished revising it to how Dr J suggested, and sent him another email with the doc for a final review. Then, the paper will be sent to HIS2011.
Should be able to submit soon, before Sept 20.

EDIT: Registered with easychair, to submit paper to HIS2011 in Malacca

MSC: Paper Revised by Dr J

Dr J replied my email with an attached and revised document of the paper. He took out a few paragraphs and said to keep them for next paper.

Some things Dr J suggested include adding a chart of the SNN spike train, and revise ES to EP.

MSC: The evolved controllers beat me

there were some round, the evolved controller  had almost took over the leading car, but bangged on it and both the cars skidded, but the evolved controller could not recover from the crash and stayed there.

lap7: > 10sec behind

the controllers evolved on track 1 usually started slow, most likely due to the unoptimized automatic transmission, but would later overtake its oponents after one or two laps.

controllers evolved on track 2 were able to generalize on track 1, but could only complete one fifth of track 3.

controllers evolved on track 3 were able to generalize on both track 1 and 2.

controllers evolved on track 1 were not able to generalize on both track 2 and 3.



i lost to the evolved controller on both track 1 and 2, butnot track 3 despite the difficulty controlling the car.


the gear change played a very big impact

MSC: Suggested improvements and new discovery

Received a reply from Dr J yesterday.
Listed below are the suggested improvements and its state:

1. Use round figures to label the x-axis of your graphs (done)
2. Show more in-game screenshots of you SNN-driven car – although it is not of much scientific value here but nice pictures always gets attention
3. Think of plotting the path driven by the best evolved SNNs as they move across the track over the racing period
4. Avoid saying that your evolved controllers were so easily beaten by human and some of the included controllers.
5. Also, your explanation that humans cheat by flooring the accelerator is not convincing since if it is allowed in the game, then it is not cheating. What I meant by cheating is when the game AI controllers break rules such as achieving top speed immediately (as opposed to flooring the accelerator but gradual build-up of speed) or in the case of RTS, being able to see through fog-of-war, then that’s cheating. So I recommend that you amend the way you are currently explaining this point.
6. Please add in a detailed description of your fitness function including a mathematical formula for it. (done)

Discovered something new. In track 1, the controller is able to start by flooring the gas pedal, but it is still slower than the other car because of the gear change strategy. The evolved controller increased gear earlier than the static controller, hence picked up speed slower than it.

Drew track path, but...

Notice that
championship2011server uses a car1-trb1 and the others bot using the same car are:

• tita 3
• berniw 3
• olethros 3
• lliaw 3
• inferno 3
• bt 3

MSC: Paper 1 Finally Done

I'm finally done with paper 1! 4am in the morning, August 29, 2011. 2 days before the deadline of the IEEE SCOReD 2011 (9th SCOReD).

Sent email to Dr J to schedule meeting, attached with the document file of the paper.

MSC: Discussions are almost done

Given the fact that track 3 is much more difficult to race in, the fitness scores are considered quite high as compared to the ratio between this track and the other 2 tracks.

Low average speed, low speed = smaller distance raced,

An interesting observation to note, apart from spectating it drive on the track, is...

So.. quite a fruitful day today. but if I made use of the whole day, I could have done more. but it's ok. I'll try to do much more tomorrow.

Aiming to get it done by end of this week, which is on the August 27, latest by August 28.

MSC: Discussions on the way

Inserted all charts into paper, and also a table of the best lap times.

MSC: PC3 keeps crashing, another day to completely compile all results

Run on PC2 is done, but run on PC3 was interrupted by a PC crash at 4am, so I continued it at 10.30pm.
Transferred the results of a run from home PC to PC1, to be compiled together with the rest.

Archived a collection of 3 runs on track 1, the latest, "3_snn_1.csv" is guaranteed to run with the latest settings: RS parameters, best lap time, but there's 2 others, which i'm not quite sure. So I'm sending them home to test run it on home PC.

I compiled the results of the 2 latest completed runs, the one from home, and PC2, into "Track1.xlsx".

As of now, PC1 has completed around 650 generations. Will complete tomorrow.

Found out yesterday from the email Dr J sent us that there's gonna be an international conference in Bangkok. Submission due date is on September 10, 2011.
