20 Best Quotes From Scarlett Johansson
Scarlett Johansson is half Danish and half Polish with natural red hair that makes her look distinctive from others. After splitting from her husband Ryan Reynolds, the 29-year-old actress got engaged to French journalist Romain Dauriac. The happy couple are now expecting their first child together in August 2014.
Following are 20 best quotes from Scarlett Johansson. Let’s check out now.
“I went through this realization that acting, at its heart, is the ability to manipulate your own emotions.”
“I have a lot of actor friends who worked with their parents closely and have had really horrible experiences. They end up suing or being emancipated. The wonderful thing about my mom [who is also her manager] is that she completely respects my creative weirdness and supports any decision I make.”
“I hope they make a video game of me. At least I wouldn’t have any cellulite then.”
“I’ve never considered myself a femme fatale as I’ve never seduced anyone and ruined their lives. At least as far as I know.”
“I’m so tired of hearing casting directors ask if I have a sore throat. The people who have told me that my voice is distinctive, it’s unusual … those people have always been close to my heart

“I find beauty in unusual things, like hanging your head out the window or sitting on a fire escape.”
“I never struggled with trying to figure out what it was I wanted to do or what made the sparks go for me.”
“I am very independent. I can look after myself but I still need a lot of love and care.”
“I definitely believe in plastic surgery. I don’t want to be an old hag. There’s no fun in that.”
“I don’t talk about my personal relationships, it always ends up kicking you in the face. But I’ve read a lot of things about myself and think, ‘Wow! That girl sounds really saucy.”

“I do think on some basic level we are animals and by instinct we kind of breed accordingly. But, as much as I believe that, I work really hard when I’m in a relationship to make it work in a monogamous way.”
“I’ve always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.”
“Tons of that stuff comes to me, but a lot of it is awful. All these teenage slaying movies, and movies about girls that have deformities that become cheerleaders and then marry the prom king!”
“I would never knowingly go into a film that I wouldn’t pay to see, or something that didn’t challenge me.”
“I’m very independent. I can look after myself but I still need a lot of love and care.”
(Photo credit: Rob Kim/Getty Images North America)
“I once heard that women dress for women — not for men — and I think that has some truth to it. Men, what do they know? They don’t know if you gain or lose five pounds. They’re oblivious to those kinds of things. A lot of men will say “I like you just as you are.” And you’re like “But I’m bloated!” If they’re attracted to you, they’re attracted to you.”
“I’m curvy – I’m never going to be 5′ 11′ and 120 pounds. But I feel lucky to have what I’ve got.”
“I just want to work on things that are really hard, and when I’m not working on things that are really hard, I want to hang out with people I like to be with, and that’s it.”
“You work hard making independent films for fourteen years and you get voted best breasts.”
“You’re married, and suddenly you have your own family. There’s a nice comfort in that. That part of your life is certain … You’ve got your home in that other person.”

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) June 05, 2013
Porch, a home improvement and repair marketplace, today announces a large seed round, its investors, and plans to launch its product nationwide free for homeowners. Early access is available upon request at http://www.porch.com Porch has its corporate headquarters in Seattle, Washington.
Typical seed rounds are less than $ 1.5 million . Pre-launch, Porch has raised a large $ 6.25 million seed round from experts and angel investors in the technology, social, marketplace, and home sectors. The round includes notable contributions from SV Angel/Ron Conway, Chamath Palihapitiya, Javier Olivan, Jeff Skoll, Bill Lee, Geoff Entress, Charles Moldow, and 20 others.
Porch is addressing the massive and favorable home improvement, maintenance, and repair market. Every year, residential construction and home improvement spend totals over $ 500 billion. Porch’s total addressable market is greater than $ 20 billion with the home services industry forecasted to grow at 3.5% annually and the housing market forecasted to increase in sales by 29% . Porch is positioning itself to be the trusted home improvement technology leader through data transparency and a beautiful social product vision.
Porch’s mission is to change the world one home at a time by making home improvement easy for homeowners. The marketplace allows homeowners to get inspired by viewing neighbors’ home projects, get educated by seeing their actual project costs, and decide on the right professional by reviewing friend endorsements. This helps homeowners make an easy and informed decision when it comes to improving their home and selecting the right home professionals.
Today, Porch accomplishes this by organizing and connecting exclusive insights from over 1.4 million professionals and 60 million projects. Every day, Porch continues to aggregate more data about homes to build the connections and acumens that fuel its data transparency and social approach. By understanding work history and which professionals’ friends and neighbors endorse, Porch is able to provide homeowners with free, personalized, and vetted word of mouth recommendations to make home improvement easy.
Porch is still pre-launch and will become nationally available later this year. Today, Porch has early, private access available to select individuals that sign up at http://www.porch.com.

Porch was created by successful data, marketplace, and consumer acquisition entrepreneurs from Google, Microsoft Corp, Expedia, Active Network, and Apollo Group. The company has 20 employees and is led by seasoned internet and technology executive, Matt Ehrlichman. Matt is the co-founder and CEO of Porch. Prior, Matt was on the executive team at Active where as Chief Strategy Officer, he helped grow the company’s revenues from $ 65 million in 2006 to $ 420 million in 2012, and a 2011 initial public offering. Before joining Active Matt was co-founder and CEO at Thriva, which was acquired by Active in March 2007 for more than $ 60 million.
“Until now, finding the right professional at a fair price has been comically painful – whether that be for a simple handyman project or a large kitchen remodel,” said Matt Ehrlichman, Porch CEO and co-founder. “In addition to being the largest investment in one’s life, the home is where we create life’s great moments. And while it should be easy, there is no free, simple, and personalized solution that provides the trusted information and tools necessary to make home improvement and repair easy.” Ehrlichman and his co-founders aim to solve a national, universal problem experienced at a local level by 120 million households. According to a 2012 Porch survey, 98% of homeowners experience pain when finding a professional and knowing the price for their home needs.

Bright Employment Report: The Labor Market Gained 177,000 Net Jobs in May 2013
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) June 05, 2013
Employment increased by 177,000 net jobs from May to June 2013 according to the May 2013 Bright Employment Report, which is produced by Bright Media Corporation and Bright.com. The report is derived from one of the nation’s largest aggregations of job postings and resumes. This data is supplemented with government, financial, real estate, and other data sources, in order to measure changes in nonfarm private employment through a novel method utilizing inter-temporal substitution, regression, and labor supply.
Two other reports issued by Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and Automatic Data Inc. (ADP) also include monthly estimates of net jobs created. For their monthly Current Population Survey (CPS; household survey), which derives their net non-farm jobs created estimate, BLS collects data each month from the payroll records of a sample of approximately 145,000 nonagricultural business establishments. ADP also uses payroll data, however their estimate focuses on the payrolls of private businesses in their system. Thus, these three metrics from Bright, BLS, and ADP each examine unique aspects of the labor market.
This month’s estimate of 177,000 net jobs created comes on the heels of last month’s report by the BLS indicating that 165,000 jobs were created in April, compared to 171,000 estimated by Bright. Rather than slipping further, job creation appears to have recovered nearer the levels seen around the beginning of the 2013.
About Bright.com
Bright was founded in 2011, and has raised over $ 10 million in financing from Silicon Valley institutional and angel investors. A first in the market, Bright is not just an innovation in online job search; its mission is to move the labor markets faster.

Recruiters can locate the most qualified candidates within seconds, reducing the time spent searching for top prospects and sifting through applicants by up to 90%.
