An apartment project near downtown Sarasota closed on a $43 million construction loan that will allow building to begin. Bayside North will provide 96 apartments at 1250 10th St. Texas real estate investment firm Affinius Capital partnered with New York investment firm Axonic Capital on the loan, according to a statement.  “This transaction represents an opportunity to finance the development of a high-quality, condo-grade asset in a market with a robust renter base,” Affinius Capital Co-Head of Debt Originations Eric Cohen says in the statement. With funding secured, Coral Gables-based developer Allan Morris Co. will commence construction on Bayside North, which will be a seven-story luxury apartment building.  An LLC tied to Allan Morris Co. purchased the 0.96-acre site for the complex for $1.2 million May 6, according to Sarasota County property records. When complete, Bayside North will provide an “elevated residential experience that thoughtfully blends architecture, amenities and place-making in one of Florida’s most dynamic growth corridors,” Allen Morris Co. President W.A. Spencer Morris says in a statement. Floor plans will range from one to three bedrooms and average 1,200 square feet.  » Read More

Shares of Snap are down nearly 5% Thursday afternoon after Meta announced "Instants," a new feature and companion app which allows users to share "spontaneous, unfiltered photos" that disappearing after viewing. Remind you of anything? Snap has fallen roughly 34% this year while Facebook and Instagram parent-company Meta has dipped 5% over the same time frame. Last week, Snap reported earnings which showed the social media company losing out on ad sales. Infleqtion reports Q1 adjusted loss; offers modest boost to full-year sales guidance Infleqtion is falling in postmarket trading after reporting a Q1 adjusted loss from operations of $13.2 million and sales of $9.5 million. Management modestly upgraded its sales guidance to “at least” $40 million for 2026, adding that language to enhance the target provided in early April. Revenues of $40 million would mark an increase of roughly 23% compared to the $32.5 million generated in 2025, and an acceleration from growth of 12% last year. The company utilizes neutral atom technology to make quantum sensors used in clocks and antennas in addition to computers. “Q1 reinforced our confidence that quantum is gaining momentum as

LinkedIn is reportedly laying off hundreds of employees, marking the latest job cuts at Big Tech companies. The Microsoft subsidiary’s cuts, first reported by Bloomberg, are expected to affect engineering, product and marketing roles, keeping with the trend of the tech industry’s spree of layoffs over the past year. The cuts will hit about 5% of LinkedIn’s roughly 17,000-person workforce, according to Reuters. LinkedIn, owned by Microsoft since 2016, did not respond to a request for comment. Multiple LinkedIn employees posted on LinkedIn’s site Wednesday that they had been affected by the layoffs, including several based in the Seattle area. Microsoft operates a small office devoted to LinkedIn in downtown Bellevue, despite the tech giant’s mass exodus from the city in the wake of the pandemic. After leaving its office space at the Lincoln Square North tower, Microsoft kept two floors for LinkedIn, which can hold at least 120 employees. It is unclear how many LinkedIn employees are based in the Seattle area. The layoffs follow a leadership change at LinkedIn. Less than a month ago, LinkedIn Chief Operating Officer Daniel Shapero was tapped as the new CEO. LinkedIn’s previous CEO, Ryan Roslansky, moved to Microsoft last year as an

“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes,” Benjamin Franklin reportedly wrote in a letter to Jean-Baptiste Leroy on November 13, 1789. Taxes in Cobb County are certain because in order to have a functioning society in a county of over 760,00 residents, resources have to be collected. Roads have to be built and repaired, police and fire services have to be provided, clean drinking water has to be available, and in a less urgent but still important to quality of life way, parks, trails and recreation centers have to be developed and maintained. Property taxes are one of the main ways local services are funded in Cobb County. They affect homeowners, renters (indirectly), and businesses, and help pay for schools, public safety and infrastructure. They are not the only way revenue is raised (Special Option Sales Tax, or SPLOST, federal and state grants, fees and licenses and utility franchise fees are some of the other means of revenue). But they are the most predictable and stable. But how much do you know about how property taxes actually work? The Courier is developing a series called Cobb County Explained to help educate county residents

Two newly minted Troy University graduates are stretching a family legacy to four generations. Mary Zedler and her daughter Kate graduated in Spring Commencement Exercises in Trojan Arena on Thursday. For Mary, the path was a long one. She had begun her undergraduate degree in criminal justice at the University of South Alabama but stopped college to raise a family which eventually would include two other daughters – one now a high school senior; the other, a high school freshman. “When (Kate) got to TROY, I said, ‘I think I want to do what she’s doing’ and I went back online,” she said. Meanwhile Kate, who earned a bachelor’s degree in theater education, was experiencing somewhat of a role reversal. “I was constantly, ‘Mom, have you done your homework yet?’ The 18 years of hearing ‘do your homework’ and suddenly I was the one who got to do it,” she said. Kate was able to complete her College of Education and Behavioral Sciences internship with her own theater teacher from middle school, and said the experience was like no other. “It was wonderfully eye-opening for her to show me what she did to make me learn and get excited about

Un homme de 32 ans de Terrebonne, qui aurait approché des mineurs sur TikTok, Snapchat et Fortnite sous différents pseudonymes, a été arrêté mercredi dans une enquête liée à des infractions d’ordre sexuelles présumées visant plusieurs victimes au Québec. Maxime Musacchia fait face à plusieurs accusations, dont leurre informatique, production de matériel d’abus et d’exploitation pédosexuels, avoir rendu accessible du contenu sexuellement explicite ainsi qu’avoir facilité une infraction, selon un communiqué du Service de police de Terrebonne/Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines/Bois-des-Filion, jeudi. Les événements reprochés se seraient produits entre 2023 et 2025 dans différentes régions de la province, et ce, à l’endroit de plusieurs victimes mineures. Selon les enquêteurs, l’homme utilisait diverses plateformes, dont TikTok, Snapchat et Fortinite, pour entrer en contact avec les victimes présumées. Les policiers soutiennent qu’il échangeait avec elles à l’aide de plusieurs identités en ligne, notamment « Max-qc2024 », « Fordmustang_90 », « Max_gtr_35 », « Maxgtr2024@hotmail.com » et « 2000 ».

Les autorités demandent à toute personne possédant des informations en lien avec cette affaire de communiquer avec le Service de police de Terrebonne en mentionnant la référence GECS 26-050.

Technology WhatsApp WhatsApp has confirmed new issues which could leave phones vulnerable to attack. 08:33, 14 May 2026 Updated 08:34, 14 May 2026 Anyone using WhatsApp to chat with friends and family should check their settings and ensure they have the latest version of the app installed. Security researchers have confirmed two concerning software vulnerabilities within the popular messaging service, one affecting how media files and attachments are handled, and another impacting WhatsApp for Windows users. Experts at Malwarebytes warned that while the flaws do not automatically infect devices, they could make it easier for cybercriminals to carry out social engineering attacks or combine them with other vulnerabilities for more serious threats. According to the company, a malicious message could potentially trick a device into opening content from an untrusted source. The vulnerabilities, identified as CVE-2026-23866 and CVE-2026-23863, were discovered through Meta’s Bug Bounty programme. At the moment, there is no evidence that either flaw has been exploited in real-world attacks or used to infect phones. WhatsApp said it has “not seen evidence of exploitation in the wild." However, the Meta-owned firm has released an update with the company strongly recommending users check their settings. To remain protected, users should
