This was his first time speaking about the new voting law."What does feeding somebody or giving somebody a glass of water have to do with fraud?" Parsons said. "It's just a bald-faced attempt to prevent or suppress the number of Black voters who show up to vote in Georgia.

"That was a good-ass kick, though."Barry kept the pressure up after the fight resumed, and even had his opponent on the floor thanks to his unrelenting striking.After almost four minutes of fighting, Barry landed 39 of his 93 strike attempts for a 42% accuracy rate. His effectiveness at stand-up was double that of Jackson who landed 18 of 37 shots (48%).Then came the weird ending because, just as Barry was seemingly set to win a comfortable round, he got himself disqualified for a gouge/rake of Jackson's eye.Watch the foul right here:"For tonight, I came out prepared and ready for a fight," Jackson said backstage after his win. "Again, it's a fight, it sucks."With victory, Jackson advanced his pro <a href="https://www.insider.com/category/mma" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MMA</a> record to one win against one defeat with one no contest. Barry, meanwhile, fell to four wins (four knockouts) against two losses.Elsewhere on the card, Philipe Lins out-pointed Marcin Prachnio by a slim margin of 29-28 x three, before Preston Parsons dominated Evan Elder with a unanimous decision.Amanda Lemos and Jessica Andrade fought in a unique, all-Brazilian women's strawweight fight.

"When Rob was just starting out as an investment banker, during the real estate recession of the early 1990s, he decided to pour a good chuck of his money into a property in the Hamptons. It was a good investment, he thought, even though it was a bit of a financial stretch for him at the time ... Rob started building, but eight weeks into construction he still had no formal commitment letter from Dime Savings Bank, the institution that had offered its initial approval on the loan."Unfortunately, Wiesenthal soon learned that the bank was getting out of the construction loan business. The next day, Wiesenthal went straight past security to the office of the bank's CEO, who at that time was Dick Parsons, to demand an answer.Parsons was so impressed by Wiesenthal's gumption that he agreed to personally serve as his loan officer - and on top of that, the two hit it off, becoming valuable professional contacts for each other for years to come. As Trump points out, going straight to the top to demand answers can sometimes work in your favor. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/blade-seaplane-uber-luxury-travel-hamptons-2016-6">What it's like to take the 'Uber of seaplanes' from NYC to the Hamptons</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="EzZjFkNDE6MdLDfsTt3jVfATblHni1LU" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>

It had all the familiar trappings of a Donald Trump rally.Vendors were walking around, braving the triple-digit heat in Fairfield, Connecticut, to sell buttons and the signature "Make America Great Again" hats to lines of excited supporters who periodically erupted into "lock her up" chants.Except for one thing."I've never seen this many Republicans in one room before," said Ted Woll of Greenwich, Connecticut.<div class="KonaFilter image-container full center"><div class="image on-image">Arielle BergerSupporters of Donald Trump stand in line ahead of a Fairfield, Connecticut, rally.</div></div>The small New England state hasn't voted for a Republican president since George H.W.

They usually don't openly admit they're Trump supporters, or even Republicans."It's easier to avoid the conversation, or just say I'm not voting," Miller said.<div class="KonaFilter image-container float_right"><div class="image on-image">Arielle BergerBarb and Dick Ruot wore handmade shirts to their first presidential rally ever.</div></div>"I don't want to say I'm a Republican in my neighborhood," Ashley Franco, of Bridgeport, said before pointing out that it made her "feel better" to be in a room in her state filled with party members."I only know two Republicans," truck driver Mike Vacca Jr. said, gesturing to his father, Mike Vacca Sr. and friend Fred Parsons. "And my wife."Most supporters were hesitant to predict a Trump victory in Connecticut in November, especially because most of the people they knew were Democrats. But a probable loss in the state didn't sour anyone's mood, everyone was thrilled that a presidential candidate was in town.Vacca Sr. looked around as crowds continued to pack into the gymnasium: "It's about time a candidate cared enough to come here."For his part, Trump fired up the crowd."We are making a big move for the state of Connecticut ... normally that wouldn't happen because a Republican, in theory, doesn't win Connecticut," he promised.The real estate mogul endeared himself to the packed room when he brought up <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/ap-general-electric-to-move-headquarters-to-boston-2016-1">General Electric's January decision</a> to move their headquarters from Fairfield to Boston - a sore sport with Connecticut voters."How did you lose General Electric?" Trump gaped.The New York billionaire reminded his supporters of how much he's dedicated to his campaign. "Can you imagine how badly I'll feel if I spent all of that money, all of this energy, all of this time, and lost?" he asked. "I will never ever forgive the people of Connecticut. I will never forgive the people of Florida, and Pennsylvania, and Ohio.""But I love them anyway," the nominee quickly quipped.Trump's opponent, Hillary Clinton, will be <a href="http://www.ctpost.com/local/article/Hillary-Clinton-to-scoop-up-campaign-cash-in-9131238.php">visiting Connecticut on Monday</a> for a fundraiser in Greenwich.

Dow Closes At New All-Time High

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image">BustleBustle editors: Alex Finkel, Editorial Operations; Jennifer Hollander, Senior News Editor (on floor); Kelsea Stahler, Associate Entertainment Editor; Kara McGrath, Fashion &amp; Beauty Editor; Julie Alvin, Senior Lifestyle Editor; Lia Beck, Associate Entertainment Editor.</div></div></div><a href="http://www.bustle.com">Bustle</a>, a female-targeted media site which <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/bleacher-report-bryan-goldberg-new-business-bustle-2013-8">infamously launched last summer</a>, now has 11 million monthly unique visitors and it has raised $5 million.
The site, led by Bleacher Report co-founder Bryan Goldberg and former Hollywood.com Executive Editor Kate Ward, has grown quickly. Three months after launch, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/bustle-traffic-2013-11">Bustle had 1 million monthly unique visitors</a> who were pouring in from an array of traffic sources including Google, Pinterest, and Facebook. 
Existing investors Social+Capital and Time Warner Investments contributed to the $5 million round so Bustle and its staff of 27 can keep doing more of the same. R &amp; R Investments, run by Clippers CEO Dick Parsons and the billionaire son of Estee Lauder, Ron Lauder, also invested in Bustle, bringing the company's total funding to $11.5 million. Bustle says it still has most of the $6.5 million it initially raised in the bank.
Despite the early traction, Bustle learned some tough lessons during its first year. Goldberg, who is 30 and sarcastic, botched Bustle's launch whe he wrote some pompous-sounding blog posts.
"I can't wait to launch my next site. It's going to make me rich(er)," Goldberg <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/bleacher-report-founder-im-starting-another-company-2013-3">teased Bustle in PandoDaily</a> in March 2013. An August <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/bryan-goldberg-on-bustle-and-media-startups-2013-8">launch announcement</a> implied that Bustle would be the first site for women to write news along with beauty product reviews. This enraged women in media such as Jezebel's Jessica Coen and The List's Rachel Sklar. The bad press is also part of the reason <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/what-happened-between-google-ventures-and-bustle-2014-3">Google Ventures sold it early Bustle shares</a> to Social + Capital Partnership and removed Bustle from its portfolio.
After the media backlash, Goldberg quickly fell on his sword and wrote a blog post <a href="http://pandodaily.com/2013/08/15/take-two/">admitting his mistakes</a>. He turned a few of his critics into friends. Rachel Sklar, for example, is now an advisor to Bustle.
For the past eight months, Goldberg has remained quiet and let Bustle grow behind the scenes. Ward admits that Bustle's launch could have been handled better, but she's proud of the site she and Goldberg have built since. 
"We certainly understood the backlash in the community that Bryan's letter received - it's no secret that many of us shared the collective reaction, and we made sure to let Bryan know how we felt about his piece," she wrote Business Insider in an email. "But since we launched, we never second-guessed what we were trying to accomplish: the creation of a platform where a large number of women could write about the issues they're most passionate about."
Her team and Bustle's freelancers have found success covering everything from serious news items like Hobby Lobby to photo-heavy beauty how-tos that perform well on Pinterest. Bustle has risen to become one of the top 200 sites on the Internet with little paid marketing, although it boosts some posts on Facebook with the help of SimpleReach.
One of Bustle's most popular articles tested the public's reaction to three levels of makeup application: nothing, light and heavy. The story, <a href="http://www.bustle.com/articles/26095-how-do-people-react-to-different-levels-of-makeup-i-decided-to-find-out">"How Do People React To Different Levels Of Makeup?"</a> performed well on Facebook and was featured on Good Morning America.
"Most of Bustle's success could be attributed to a strong editorial team," says Ward. "We've been able to bring together a group of women that are not only extremely talented, but passionate about what Bustle is and will be."
