In physics, telecommunications, astronomy, forward scatter is the deflection—by diffraction, nonhomogeneous refraction, or nonspecular reflection by particulate matter of dimensions that are large with respect to the wavelength in question but small with respect to the beam diameter—of a portion of an incident electromagnetic wave, in such a manner that the energy so deflected propagates in a direction, within 90° of the direction of propagation of the incident wave. The scattering process may be sensitive to polarization. Forward scatter differs from backscatter. Forward scattering can make a back-lit comet appear brighter because the dust and ice crystals are reflecting and enhancing the apparent brightness of the comet by scattering that light towards the observer. Comets studied forward-scattering in visible-thermal photometry include C/1927 X1, C/1975 V1, C/1980 Y1. Comets studied forward-scattering in SOHO non-thermal C3 coronograph photometry include 96P/Machholz and C/2004 F4; the brightness of the great comets C/2006 P1 and Comet Skjellerup–Maristany near perihelion were enhanced by forward scattering.

Conus ebraeus, common name the black-and-white cone, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies. Conus ebraeus has recognisable small, squat shell, with a rounded, short spire; the shell is white, with a pattern of blackish squares, sometimes rose-tinted, with three or four revolving bands composed of irregular longitudinal dark chocolate or nearly black markings. The aperture is white with clouded bands corresponding with the exterior markings; the surface is more or less striate throughout, but striae are more prominent towards the dark stained base. The width of the shell of type specimen is 19 mm; the height of the shell of type specimen is 28 mm. The height of the shell varies from 25 mm to 62 mm. Conus ebraeus is one of the most distributed members of its genus and occurs in shallow water, tropical regions throughout the Indo-West and eastern Pacific, from the Red Sea to the shores of the Americas; the type locality is India.
Localities include: Aldabra Chagos Guam Hawaii Houtman Abrolhos Kenya Madagascar Mascarene Basin Mozambique Okinawa Papua New Guinea Red Sea Tanzania West Coast of South Africa Conus ebraeus lives near rocky shores, lower eulittoral under boulders. Like all species within the genus Conus, these snails are venomous, they are capable of "stinging" humans, therefore live ones should be handled or not at all. While the focal prey of Conus ebraeus are eunicid polychaetes at most locations in the Indo-West Pacific, at Hawaii and the Seychelles this species predominantly preys on nereid polychaetes; these results suggest. Prey of Conus ebraeus include Perinereis helleri, Palola sp. Eunice cariboea and Lysidice collaris. Linnaeus, C..

The Marine Drive Tunnel is a proposed tunnel which will connect Marine Drive in Kollupitiya to the Colombo International Financial City. The Cabinet of Sri Lanka has approved the signing of the MOU in January 2018; the tunnel would begin at the northern-end of Marine Drive, before connecting to the CIFC after passing under Galle Face Green. Preliminary assessments are currently underway to further extend the road connection to the Colombo Harbour and the New Kelani Bridge, where the existing E03 expressway begins, before terminating at the Bandaranaike International Airport; the extension may be built as an elevated highway. The construction of the tunnel will further expand the Galle Face Green towards the ocean. Expressways of Sri Lanka "Port City company offers to extend Marine Drive in US $150mn project".
