US First Lady Dr Jill Biden has arrived in London ahead of the King’s coronation. Dr Biden was greeted at 10 Downing Street by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s wife Akshata Murty. Joe Biden has faced criticism for not attending, although no US President has ever been to a British coronation. When Queen Elizabeth II was crowned in 1953, Dwight Eisenhower sent envoys to represent him. The White House says President Biden is keen to meet King Charles in Britain at a later date.

Carolyn Bryant Donham, , Woman Whose Accusations Doomed Emmett Till, , Dead at 88.
CNN reports that the white woman,
whose words led to the lynching of Till
in 1955, died on April 25.
14-year-old Till was visiting family in Mississippi
when he allegedly whistled at Donham.
Donham's husband, Roy Bryant, and J.W. Milam abducted Till from his bed several nights later.
They then beat him, shot him in the head
and threw his body in the river.
At the subsequent murder trial, Donham testified that Till had grabbed her and said he'd never been with "white women before.".
An all-white jury acquitted
Bryant and Milam of murder.
In 1956, they admitted to the murder in a 'Look' magazine interview, but no further chargers were ever brought against the two men.
In a 2008 interview with professor Timothy Tyson, Donham reportedly said, "That part's not true,"
when asked about her testimony.
The Department of Justice reopened the case in 2018, but it could never prove that Donham had lied, and the case was closed again in 2021.
In 2022, a Mississippi grand jury
decided against indicting Donham on kidnapping and manslaughter charges.
After hearing every aspect of the investigation and evidence collected regarding Donham’s involvement, the Grand Jury returned a ‘No Bill’ to the charges of
both Kidnapping and Manslaughter, District Attorney Dewayne Richardson, via statement.
The murder of Emmett Till remains an unforgettable tragedy in this country and the thoughts and prayers of this nation continue to be with the family of Emmett Till, District Attorney Dewayne Richardson, via statement

According to the field office, there was

The U.S. government originally coined
the term "juice jacking" back in 2011. .
According to officials at the FCC, malware can be installed
through a corrupted USB port and can be used to lock a
device or export data and passwords directly to criminals.
CBS reports that the stolen information
can then be used to access users' online
accounts or be sold to bad actors.
The scary part of juice jacking
is that you probably won't even be
able to tell that your phone is infected
with malware after plugging it
into a compromised USB port, Matt Swinder, Editor-in-chief and founder of TheShortcut.com, via CBS.

In 2022, Honeywell Forge released its USB Threat
