‘At risk’ whale pod leaving loch

Pilot whales

Rescue teams are watching and waiting to see what the whales do next

Animal welfare experts have said a pod of more than 60 whales at risk of beaching in the Western Isles are out of immediate danger.

Latest reports from the sea loch suggest the whales have now moved out into open water.

Experts said it was possible they could move back into the loch at any time but there was currently no sign of the whales there.

The pod was last seen in the loch at 0930 BST.

The whales were first spotted near Loch Carnan, off South Uist, on Thursday afternoon.

It was feared the whales could die in a mass stranding.

Earlier, rescuers who monitored the whales overnight said they had “calmed down” and had made their way into deeper water at the centre of the loch.

It was hoped they would be able to navigate their way back out to sea.

About 20 of the whales were spotted with head injuries.

It is thought the injuries may have been caused by the whales’ attempts to strand themselves on the rocky foreshore of the sea loch.

Pilot whales normally prefer deep water but come inshore in search of squid, which is their main food source.

Last week a pilot whale died after getting stuck in the Sullom Voe in Shetland.

The Scottish SPCA earlier said it did not look like any more whales had broken away from the big pod but added that there was a large coastline to search.

Sick and injured whales are thought to beach themselves to die.

However, at times, dying whales have been followed to shore by healthy animals.

Conservationists have also suggested the whales may have got lost.

Rescuers were hoping to put inflatable pontoons in place for refloating any whales which become stranded.

On Friday, the pod was seen moving back and forth from the shore and rescuers said the animals were “very vocal”, which they said may be a sign of distress.

Members of the British Divers Marine Life Rescue have been at the scene.

In October a pod of pilot whales were in danger in the same sea loch.

Days later, 33 whales, thought to be the same group, were discovered dead on a beach in County Donegal.

Pilot whales can grow up to about 20ft (6.1m) and are among the most common marine mammals.

Ivory Coast president inaugurated

Vendor sells Ouattara T-shirts in YamoussoukroThe ceremony is intended to emphasise Ouattara’s legitimacy

More than 20 heads of state are preparing to attend the inauguration of Ivory Coast’s President Alassane Ouattara.

The ceremony aims to draw a line under six months of bloody unrest.

Fighting broke out after Mr Ouattara’s predecessor Laurent Gbagbo refused to admit defeat following last year’s presidential election.

Mr Ouattara has promised to promote reconciliation in the country, where ethnic divisions are marked.

He took the oath of office two weeks ago.

But this ambitious inauguration ceremony aims to reinforce his legitimacy as president after a violent power struggle with Mr Gbagbo.

It is expected to be a demonstration of international backing: on the guest list is Nicolas Sarkozy, president of the former colonial power France, several African heads of state and the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.

It is also designed to build domestic support, or at least acceptance.

Representatives from across the political spectrum have been invited, including members of Mr Gagbo’s party.

The ceremony is meant to symbolize the beginning of a reconciliation process that is key to the country’s recovery.

Mr Ouattara is keenly aware that he won only a little more than half the vote, and the presidential stand-off reignited festering ethnic tensions, with human rights groups accusing both sides of killings, rape and other crimes.

Expensive Iphone App

My budget for this app is not more than US$8000.

I need someone with advanced experience in developing iphone apps with both function and design. You must have experience working with the GPS features and database connectivity with GPS.

I am working with a limited budget and need to have this project completed in 3 weeks or less.

Using a database, the app should access addresses from the database, then plot locations relative to the user’s current location or location entered as starting point. The app will give both directions for driving, walking and estimated time. This is like google maps on the iphone app. Also, the app should export the map to a local printer via wifi.

One last feature, the app would create a route based on local destinations and starting point with estimated times and distance.

This app could use google maps or technology if needed
