Coastal communities are flooding more than we realize. Here's why.

Washington Post02-06-2025
Fast-rising seas have forced some coastal communities to endure flooding far more frequently than previously thought, and much more often than federal tide gauges would suggest, according to a new findings from researchers in North Carolina.
'I view it as a harbinger of what's to come,' said Katherine Anarde, an assistant professor of coastal engineering at North Carolina State University and one of the lead authors of the study, published Monday in the journal Communications Earth & Environment.

Parents Swear by These $1.25 Back-to-School Hacks—All From Dollar Tree

Parents Swear by These $1.25 Back-to-School Hacks—All From Dollar Tree originally appeared on Dengarden. It always happens this way: it feels like summer vacation has only just begun when back-to-school items start popping up onto the shelves. But if you're already thinking about what you need for a simple school routine, it might be time to head to Dollar Tree to stock up on the best organization products while they're still in stock. The following Dollar Tree finds were highlighted by teachers, organizational experts, and childcare professionals thanks to their versatility and genuinely useful design that makes the whole back-to-school routine as easy as possible. The best part? Most of these organizational products are only around $1.25 to $3. Double-sided Pencil Cases Blogger and childcare expert Christina from thepurplealphabet found double-sided plastic pencil cases that she snatched up; each side locks and opens, but the best part is that the pencil case has little compartments that make it easy to organize smaller items like erasers, pencil inserts, and highlighters. Lap Desks Christina also came across a $5 lap desk that can be a great solution for spaces where setting up a full-sized desk or workspace isn't feasible. The lap desks can be used for doing homework or working from a laptop and has handy compartments on the side for things like pencils, markers, drinks, or other supplies required when working. Stackable Storage Containers Stackable storage containers are another must-have item on Christina's back-to-school list. She pointed out that the transparent finish makes it easy to see exactly which supplies are in which container and they're easily stackable, taking up less space in a desk drawer or backpack. Book Caddies Christina found a selection of colorful book caddies as well—which she suggests using to organize textbooks, notebooks, or any other school book that need to be out on a desk. The caddies are sturdy and can easily hold and organize a stack of books so they can be easily accessible from a desk without being stacked one on top of the other. Dry-Erase Board Blogger Amy at TX Mama Living found this convenient dry-erase board at Dollar Tree earlier this month. The compact board is the perfect size for a kid's desk and makes it easy to track things like homework assignments or chores. Clear Marker Container Blogger Emma Villaneda from thecraftedstudioco pointed out that the clear marker containers from Dollar Tree are a must for things like markers, crayons, colored pencils, and other art and writing supplies that come in a cardboard box. She mentioned that she particularly likes transferring supplies into these durable containers because the cardboard boxes never hold up for the entire school year. Snack Containers Villaneda also pointed out that the snack containers in the kitchen section are the perfect size for storing a standard 24-pack of crayons. The locking containers seal easily but aren't too difficult for little hands to open and close and make a great alternative to the cardboard box that crayons come in. Organizing Case The organizing case from Dollar Tree is another great organization hack that Villaneda swears by for back-to-school. She pointed out that the little compartments in the case work great for keeping smaller supplies like erasers, glue sticks, and sharpeners, separated and easy to grab, rather than falling to the bottom of a backpack. Metal Pencil Case Another hack that Villaneda swears by? The metal pencil case from Dollar Tree. The slender hardback container is the perfect size for storing feminine hygiene products discreetly in a backpack. Locking Cosmetic Container The locking cosmetic container set is small and compact—but Villaneda says it's the perfect size for a DIY first aid kit. She uses the containers to stock things that kids might need on the fly, like Band-Aids and wet wipes. Reusable Storage Bags Villaneda came across large reusable storage bags in the kitchen section which come with a strong zipper seal. She suggests using them for things like putting swimwear in a backpack or even using them as an alternative to a lunchbox. Snack Containers The double-sided snack containers can definitely work for the intended purpose—but Villaneda also pointed out that the compact water bottle-shaped design can be great for storing personal items or for packing a light first aid Swear by These $1.25 Back-to-School Hacks—All From Dollar Tree first appeared on Dengarden on Jul 31, 2025 This story was originally reported by Dengarden on Jul 31, 2025, where it first appeared.

A Single Air Controller Oversaw Helicopters, Planes During Fatal DC Crash

The second day of an investigative hearing into the collision kicked off Thursday with the US National Transportation Safety Board focusing on how air traffic was managed and the control tower staffed at the busy hub serving the nation's capital.
