Negatory into Positerritory

Anytime you feel negative emotion, stop and say: Something is important here; otherwise, I would not be feeling this negative emotion. What is it that I want? And then simply turn your attention to what you do want. . . . In the moment you turn your attention to what you want, the negative attraction will stop; and in the moment the negative attraction stops, the positive attraction will begin. And—in that moment—your feeling will change from not feeling good to feeling good. 



That is the Process of Pivoting.

22 Maps That Show How Americans Speak English Totally Differently From Each Other



Everyone knows that Americans don't exactly agree on pronunciations.  Regional accents are a major part of what makes American English so interesting as a dialect.
Joshua Katz, a Ph. D student in statistics at North Carolina State University, just published a group of awesome visualizations of Professor Bert Vaux and Scott Golder's linguistic survey that looked at how Americans pronounce words. (via detsl on /r/Linguistics)
His results were first published on Abstractthe N.C. State research blog. 
Joshua gave us permission to publish some of the coolest maps from his collection.
