Users have called on Google to remove the game, which has been available to download since 29 July

Google is facing criticism for continuing to allow Android mobile users to download a game called “Bomb Gaza”, in which players are required to “drop bombs and avoid killing citizens”.

 

The app, which was uploaded on 29 July, has been installed up to 1,000 times and received at least one report as “inappropriate”. As of Monday evening, the game was no longer available on Google Play.
According to the game’s description and a series of screenshots, users gain points by controlling aircraft marked with Israeli flags as they drop bombs on cartoon Hamas militants.
It comes as more than 1,800 Palestinians have been killed in the ongoing Gaza conflict. Israel has confirmed that 64 of its soldiers have died in combat, while three civilians have been killed by cross-border shelling from Gaza.
Responding to the game in its review section online, Iqra Iqbal wrote that it was an “abomination”, adding: “This is a violation of human rights. My beloved brothers and sisters are dying in Gaza and some stupid ignoramus decides to make a game like this.
Others said it was a “messed up game” and “disgusting”, while Saadat Ali said: “Request all to scroll to the bottom and flag this app as inappropriate to Google.”


People also took to Twitter to voice their criticism of the game, and user Elliott Clarkson wrote: “Google Play's approval process? Non-existent. So games like Bomb Gaza get through.”
It is not the only game available on Google Play that involves bombing Gaza, including "Iron Dome", “Gaza Assault: Code Red” that tells users to “secure the region” by taking control of “an Israeli UAV equipped with powerful weapons in an attempt to secure the region”.


 A spokesman from Google said that the company does not comment on specific apps, but that it "remove[s] apps from Google Play that violate our policies."

 

Although this is not always the case you may have noticed this yourself, in some cases, however, the bubbles in a circular shape, although most of the times were not as well as they are trying to take a circular shape as much as possible. The reason lies in the phenomenon of "cohesion - cohesion" as these bubbles are only very thin layers of liquid material that originated them and their fractions, which together hold together because of attractive forces between them.

This arises from what is known as surface tension, which works to resist anything is trying to transit through it. Inside the bubble of air trapped there who is trying to get out, causing a strain on those layers of liquid "bubble wall" at home and abroad there are a greater quantity of air is also pressing on the other side of the surface of the bubble.

Now for the bubble the best way to resist those forces is to take the form most dense and compact, a circular shape, "remember not being able to break the eggs in case of pressing them vertically because of the principle of distribution of powers." At the present time scientists were able to work bubbles cubic and triangular several ways to study different surfaces from the perspective of engineering.

Now you can also respond to these questions .. why water droplets appear circular in shape, and why air bubbles appear in the water also circular in shape?

When we refer to the theory of relativity, we actually refer to the special theory of relativity theories and both the public and deployed the world Albert Einstein in the early twentieth century, and for non-scientists, it is difficult to understand these theories despite the radical change that has occurred emitted as a result of physics.

     In an attempt to explain the theory simply stated that the man when Oancatin spend an hour doing something he loves and feels like a minute, but let him sit on a hot stove for a minute and feel like an hour

But the details of the theory, of course, is much more complicated, before the relative was believed to everyone that the time and place both fixed values ​​and angle of vision on the ground they are already as well, but Oancatin proved mathematics that perspective the absolute things is illusion and that the time and place can be exposed both to modify and change. It is possible to place that compresses or expands and can rate the passage of time, or at least that increases as well as in the event of exposure to the strong gravitational field or move too quickly.

Examples that illustrate the relative too many you can imagine that with you an hour you by placing them in orbit around the Earth to move too quickly compared to where you are on the ground now if still you can see the time will look smaller than they were when they were in your hands you will also notice that the clockwise spin slower The reason is a phenomenon called "Stretch time - time dilation" assume relative to time and place, both of which have one thing called spacetime, which is affected only by gravity and speed Amany that if there was a body under the influence of the forces of gravity is too large or moving too quickly, the time for this body will become slower compared to the other body is not exposed to the same forces. 

These may seem assumptions illogical and strange but it's actually true, as I mentioned examples that support in our lives many, for example, the Global Positioning System GPS depends on the specific measurements of time positioning on the earth revolves satellites of this system on the ground quickly 14 thousand kilometers at a great speed compared Bsratna on the ground and thus in the case has not set the hours of system engineers on the ground to compensate for the time difference caused by the speed of those sites will see us on the map, just 10 kilometers from the real site.

Can you think of some examples that support relative of the reality of life?

To know the answer to this question you should know at the outset scientific definition of the word magnet which is simply any material or component of a magnetic field, which is in the range of electrons moving in the same direction, these electrons are always striving to be associated with other electrons. Any magnet has two poles, north and south of the area where the magnet comes out caused by electrons from the North Pole and enters once again across the Antarctic.

If we look at the iron as an example, we will find that it contains many of the electrons of others linked to it in any individual case and therefore magnets When approaching a piece of iron is attracted to him because of the forces of attraction between electrons, which seeks to link and of the magnetic field generated by.

You have to think about these questions .. why some materials are attracted to the magnet and the other is not attracted, and how to turn ordinary materials magnet?

Have you ever wondered how one day one of you is the age of the earth? I think a controversial question was already over the past three centuries past, in 1654 one of the researchers who called John Lightfoot offered to answer this question and said that the earth was created in exactly nine o'clock on the morning of 26 October 4004 BC, based on his calculations on the Bible.

In the seventeenth century the world called the Comte de Buffon heating the sample similar in composition to the ground with making and based on the rate of low temperature by estimating the age of the Earth is about 75,000 a year.

In the nineteenth century, a scientist Lord Kelvin equations and using some of the age of the earth as much as 20 to 40 million years old, and this was the last attempts until it was discovered the radioactivity of the material and its use in determining the age of different materials by measuring the rate of decay. This is the method currently used to determine the age of rocks and fossils and archaeological samples and even samples that come by astronauts from the moon and Mars, and based on that method has been estimating the age of the Earth is about 4.54 billion years margin of error of less than 1%.

Now you can respond to this question .. How old is the universe?

A group of researchers discovered that the blue color in the sky affects our feelings in a positive Vtgalna more responsive and adaptable to the challenges related to emotions, but you may ever wondered why the sky looks blue?

The short answer very lies in a phenomenon called dispersion means the spread of the light falling on an object in several different directions, for we receive the sun's rays must pass the atmosphere of the Earth, which consists of several layers as we all know and has a different set of gases and particles. Collide sunlight those obstacles are scattered here and there, and as we know, rays sun is made up of several different shades of each spectrum has a specific wavelength and thus has a specific color and features a nice blue color wavelength is relatively small and thus easily spread through those obstacles and scattered in the sky, causing those blue that we see .

But you may also be wondering what about the time of sunrise and sunset, where the color of the sky red or yellow or orange? In those times the sun be much farther away from the noon time and age and thus Vohatha travel longer distances to reach our eyes and this affects the advantage of short-wavelength blue color and allows us to see some other colors. Also worth noting that if you look directly to the sun will not only see the white around it for you in this case to consider the sun's rays directly you see in this moment all the spectra and colors combined.

Now you can respond to this question too .. Why do you look the ocean blue?

In the Bosnia and Herzegovina town of Mostar, a local dive club instructor jumps from the Stari Most, or Old Bridge, to the Neretva River below. "Divers have been leaping from the bridge for hundreds of years," writes Chester Boyes, a member of our Your Shot community. "On this day, we were going to try it for ourselves. Here, our instructor shows us how it's done before we try our luck."
Noticing the size and energy of the crowd, Boyes quickly ran down to the river's edge, hoping to catch his instructor in flight. "I arrived just in time."

Four Billion BCE: Battered Earth
Illustration Credit: Simone Marchi (SwRI), SSERVI, NASA Explanation: No place on Earth was safe. Four billion years ago, during the Hadean eon, our Solar System was a dangerous shooting gallery of large and dangerous rocks and ice chunks. Recent examination of lunar and Earth bombardment data indicate that the entire surface of the Earth underwent piecemeal upheavals, hiding our globe's ancient geologic history, and creating a battered world with no remaining familiar land masses. The rain of devastation made it difficult for any life to survive, although bacteria that could endure high temperatures had the best chance. Oceans thought to have formed during this epoch would boil away after particularly heavy impacts, only to reform again. The above artist's illustration depicts how Earth might have looked during this epoch, with circular impact features dotting the daylight side, and hot lava flows visible in the night. One billion years later, in a calmer Solar System, Earth's first supercontinent formed.

Destiny developer Bungie has released detailed stats from the game's beta tests.

The 4.6 million players who took part in the trials are said to have been involved in 88.4 million matches between them.


There were 164 million deaths during the beta and players racked up a combined total of 3.7 billion kills and 62 million revivals.

Destiny fans also created 6.5 million Guardians, 851,264 of which went to the moon.

Furthermore, the Destiny companion app for mobile devices was used by 777,000 players during the tests.


"We're running out of ways to thank you for what the Beta has meant to us. We hope you had fun," said community manager David 'DeeJ' Dague.

"Destiny will be a better game because you played it. Perhaps that's the best gesture we can manage - to deliver a game that's better than it was before your contribution.

"Today is the first day of August. Start the countdown on your last month of waiting. Next month, we'll all start playing Destiny for real."

The full game will debut as part of a white PS4 console bundle on September 9, along with a release on Xbox 360, Xbox One and PS3.

LOUISVILLE – Tiger Woods' latest injury "doesn't bode well right now" for his chances to play in the Ryder Cup, U.S. captain Tom Watson said Monday.
A day after withdrawing after eight holes in the last round of the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational with a bad back, Tiger Woods doesn't know if he'll be playing in this week's PGA Championship.
Woods flew back Sunday afternoon to his South Florida home instead of heading to Valhalla Golf Club for the year's last major championship after he aggravated his back and was forced to withdraw.
Woods is at his home resting.
"He has to rest and get treatment and assess later," said Woods' agent, Mark Steinberg, in a text. "Pointless to make that decision (on playing) now without proper time to give him the best chance."

James Brady, the former White House press secretary who was badly wounded in the assassination attempt against President Ronald Reagan and later became an advocate for gun control, has died. He was 73.
His family announced Brady's death in a statement released Monday afternoon, saying he "passed away after a series of health issues."
"Jim touched the lives of so many and has been a wonderful husband, father, friend and role model," his family said. "We are enormously proud of Jim's remarkable accomplishments -- before he was shot on the fateful day in 1981 while serving at the side of President Ronald Reagan and in the days, months and years that followed.
"Jim Brady's zest for life was apparent to all who knew him, and despite his injuries and the pain he endured every day, he used his humor, wit and charm to bring smiles to others and make the world a better place. Over the years, Jim inspired so many people as he turned adversity into accomplishment."
Brady was left permanently disabled after being shot in the head on March 30, 1981, by John Hinckley, Jr., outside the Washington Hilton Hotel.
He afterward undertook a personal crusade for gun control, and lobbied for stricter handgun and assault-weapon laws.  A federal law requiring a background check on handgun buyers bears Brady's name, and The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence is named in his honor.
"Since 1993, the law that bears Jim's name has kept guns out of the hands of dangerous individuals. An untold number of people are alive today who otherwise wouldn't be, thanks to Jim," President Obama said in a statement on Monday.
Although Brady returned to the White House only briefly, he was allowed to keep the title of presidential press secretary and his White House salary until Reagan left office in January 1989.
Brady, who spent much of the rest of his life in a wheelchair, died at a retirement community in Alexandria, Va., where he lived with his wife, Sarah.
"Jim was the personification of courage and perseverance. He and Sarah never gave up, and never stopped caring about the causes in which they believed," former first lady Nancy Reagan said in a statement.
Current White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest, who was asked about Brady's legacy during Monday's briefing as reports of his death first crossed, said Brady "really revolutionized the job." He said even after he was wounded, he "showed his patriotism and commitment to the country" by being outspoken on an issue important to him.
The White House briefing room is also named after Brady.
Brady "leaves the kind of legacy ... that certainly this press secretary and all future press secretaries will aspire to live up to," Earnest said.
Of the four people stuck by gunfire on March 30, 1981, Brady was the most seriously wounded. A news clip of the shooting, replayed often on television, showed Brady sprawled on the ground as Secret Service agents hustled the wounded president into his limousine. Reagan was shot in one lung while a policeman and a Secret Service agent suffered lesser wounds.
Brady never regained full health. The shooting caused brain damage, partial paralysis, short-term memory impairment, slurred speech and constant pain.
The TV replays of the shooting did take a toll on Brady, however. He told The Associated Press years later that he relived the moment each time he saw it: "I want to take every bit of (that) film ... and put them in a cement incinerator, slosh them with gasoline and throw a lighted cigarette in." With remarkable courage, he endured a series of brain operations in the years after the shooting.
On Nov. 28, 1995, while he was in an oral surgeon's office, Brady's heart stopped beating and he was taken to a hospital. His wife, Sarah, credited the oral surgeon and his staff with saving Brady's life.
Brady was a strong Republican from an early age -- as a boy of 12 in Centralia, Ill., where he was born on Aug. 29, 1940, he distributed election literature for Dwight D. Eisenhower. In a long string of political jobs, Brady worked for some well-known bosses: Sen. Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois, Sen. William V. Roth Jr. of Delaware, and John Connally, the former Texas governor who was running for president in 1979. When Connally dropped out, Brady joined Reagan's campaign as director of public affairs and research. He later joined the Reagan White House.
Previously, he had worked in the administrations of presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford: as special assistant to the secretary of Housing and Urban Development, as special assistant to the director of the Office of Management and Budget, and as an assistant to the defense secretary.
He was divorced from the former Sue Beh when, in 1973, he courted Sarah Jane Kemp, the daughter of an FBI agent who was working with him in a congressional office. Sarah Brady became involved in gun-control efforts in 1985, and later chaired Handgun Control Inc., but Brady took a few more years to join her, and Reagan did not endorse their efforts until 10 years after he was shot. Reagan's surprise endorsement -- he was a longtime National Rifle Association member and opponent of gun control laws -- began to turn the tide in Congress.
"They're not going to accuse him of being some bed-wetting liberal, no way can they do that," said Brady, who had become an active lobbyist for the bill.
The Brady law required a five-day wait and background check before a handgun could be sold. In November 1993, as President Bill Clinton signed the bill into law, Brady said: "Every once in a while you need to wake up and smell the propane. I needed to be hit in the head before I started hitting the bricks."
Clinton awarded Brady the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1996. In 2000, the press briefing room at the White House was renamed in Brady's honor. The following year, Handgun Control Inc., was renamed the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence as a tribute to Brady and his wife.
Survivors include his wife, Sarah; a son, Scott; and a daughter, Melissa.

Police in the southern Spanish city of Seville have arrested three men who not only mistook a woman for the person they were meant to kidnap; they then decided to abduct and rob her anyway.

The woman was driving through Seville when the three suspects got into her vehicle and put a balaclava over her head.
Moments after, she heard one of them cry out: “You’ve got the wrong registration plate, this isn’t the girl.”
Rather than flee the scene, the kidnappers forced the woman to drive them to her home.
There they stole two of her mobile phones and €250 ($335) in cash before escaping in the woman’s car.
The victim immediately contacted Spain’s National Police force, who deployed a unit specializing in kidnappings and extortions to find the three men.
Officers were able to locate the suspects, recover the stolen belongings and break up the drug ring they were operating, Spanish daily 20 minutos reported.
The men are now facing several criminal charges.

Spain's Alejandro Valverde bounced back from his Tour de France disappointment by winning Saturday's Clasica de San Sebastian.

The 34-year-old Movistar rider, who finished fourth at last month's Tour after being pushed off the podium in the final mountain stage, finished 14 seconds ahead of Dutchman Bauke Mollema and Spaniards Joaquim Rodriguez and Mikel Nieve.
Last year's winner of the 219.2km race over undulating terrain along the Basque coastline, Frenchman Tony Gallopin, was fifth at 26sec.
It was Valverde's second victory in the one-day race having triumphed in 2008.
The hilly Classic includes former Tour winner Miguel Indurain, former world champion Paolo Bettini and Ardennes Classics specialist Philippe Gilbert amongst its past champions.

The number of unemployed people in Spain fell by nearly 30,000 in July to hit 4,419,860 — the lowest figure since Spain's current government took power, employment ministry figures released on Monday show.

Unemployment dipped by 29,841 in July, leaving the number of people registered as looking for work in the country's employment offices below the 4.42 million-mark seen when the current conservative Spanish government took office in December 2012.
July's figure is the latest in a series of strong numbers for the government after more than 120,000 people left the jobless queues in June.
However, the new is not all good.
Spain's active population — the number of people either working or looking for work —  fell from 23.4 million at the end of 2011 to 22.9 million in the second quarter of 2014, according to Spain's statistics institute, the INE.
This means that some of people who have left Spain's jobless queues have either given up seeking work, or have seen their benefits run out.
In addition, when corrected to smooth out seasonal blips, the number of registered unemployed actually rose by 32,357 people in July.
Spain's economy relies heavily on tourism and the labour market usually enjoys a boost in hiring during the summer months.
Spain's unemployment rate slipped below 25 percent in the second quarter of this year, a separate report showed last month, as the economy enjoyed a gradual recovery after emerging in mid-2013 from a two-year recession.
The unemployment rate fell to 24.47 percent in the second quarter from 25.93 percent in the previous quarter, according to the broad, household survey, which provides the official unemployment rate.

A 75-year-old Spanish priest has been isolated with symptoms of what could be the Ebola virus in Liberia amid fears the outbreak of the deadly disease is now out of control. 

Miguel Pajares is being monitored in an isolation ward at the Hospitaller Order of Saint John of God hospital in the Liberian capital of Monrovia.  
The condition of the priest, who also suffers from a heart condition, was continuing to worsen on Monday morning, Spanish national daily El Mundo reported.  
Pajares visited the hospital only recently to visit the clinic's director Patrick Nshamdze, who has since died from the deadly disease.
The Spanish priest and five other men are currently being treated for fever and other Ebola-like symptoms with paracetamol and saline solution.
However, sources at the hospital said they were yet to carry out definitive tests confirming Pajares is suffering from the Ebola virus.
They were hoping to be able to do so, but conceded that Liberian authorities were overwhelmed in the face of the outbreak.
The Hospitaller Order of Saint John of God  hospital has been closed to all patients expect for the six men who remain in isolation, with all other suspected cases of Ebola now being treated at  the city's Elwa hospital.
On Sunday, Spain's foreign ministry warned nationals against visiting countries in West Africa affected by the current Ebola outbreak.
The US is stepping up efforts to fight an outbreak which has claimed more than 800 lives and which US health authorities describe as "out of control".
Ebola, which spreads through contact with blood and bodily fluids, has a mortality rate of 50 to 90 percent. No specific treatment regime exists.

The United Nations has ordered Spain to compensate the mother of a seven-year-old girl who was murdered by her abusive father after authorities failed to act upon the 30 complaints filed against him.

In a first for Spain, an international court (the UN’s Committee on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women) has sentenced the country’s authorities to pay up for failing to stop a recurring case of violence against women.
Eleven years ago, a seven-year-old Spanish girl was murdered at the hands of her father; the man who had repeatedly beaten both her and her mother up and who police had been told about in no fewer than 30 occasions.
The murder happened during an authorized and unsupervised visit by the man, evidence according to the international committee that the relevant authorities had not done enough to protect mother and daughter nor punish the abuser.
Women’s Link Worldwide, the human rights organization that presented the case before the UN in 2012, has published the following reaction to the ruling by the murdered girl’s mother, Ángela González:
“After 11 years fighting for justice, I’m not only pleased with the ruling; it’s also an opportunity for all women and girls to not have to go through what my daughter and I did.”
The sentence forces the Spanish State to “adequately” compensate Ángela Gónzalez, who had called for protection for her daughter since she was only three years old.
The UN also ordered the legal framework surrounding cases of violence against women in Spain be strengthened and that judges and relevant professionals be trained and informed about the risks of domestic abuse.

Israel and Hamas, Egyptian proposal, have agreed to end their fighting in the Gaza Strip for a period of 72 hours beginning at 8:00 am Tuesday (one hour less in mainland Spain).

An Israeli government spokesman has confirmed the commitment of this administration to "start implementing the Egyptian initiative" on Tuesday morning. "If the ceasefire is respected, there will be no need for the presence of forces in the Gaza Strip," he noted.

For its part, Hamas spokesman, Sami Abu Zuhri, Reuters reported that the party-militia has already moved to Egypt "conformity with the quiet period of 72 hours."

Chief Palestinian negotiator, Ahmed Azam to, leader of the Fatah movement, said in a statement that during the truce Egypt develop contacts with Israel and the Palestinian negotiating team, also includes members of other groups such as Hamas, to "get the demands Palestinian to stop aggression and end the blockade "on Gaza.
failed truce

The parties have already agreed on Thursday to end their fighting for three days, but the calm blew up in just a few hours on Friday morning. Israel gave the truce broken after an attack by Hamas militants against a group of soldiers.

Since Israel launched operation 'Margin Protector' on the Gaza Strip, on 8 July, has killed more than 1,800 Palestinians, mostly civilians. On the Israeli side, have killed 64 soldiers and three civilians.

The Egyptian Foreign Ministry on Monday urged Israelis and Palestinians to accept this new truce, with the hope that it may give rise to a "permanent" agreement and the return of "stability" in the area. The Egyptian government invited the parties to send delegations to Cairo to negotiate the long-term pact.

Fifty thousand 'Vikings' landed on the shores of a small village in northern Spain on Sunday, as part of an annual festival which commemorates a Scandinavian invasion which took place a thousand years ago. 

On the first Sunday of August, Catoria is flooded with ‘blood-thirsty’ men and women from all across Europe.
Dressed in animal skins and armed with the finest plastic weaponry, they disembark on the rugged Galician coast with the aim of capturing the Towers of the West, just as Norway’s King Olaf did a millennia ago.
The ‘blood’ spilt during the simulated battles does taste distinctly like red wine, but the visual effect it has when poured all over the fighters’ bodies is just as gruesome.

Catoira’s residents have proudly seen their local festival come on leaps and bounds since its first edition in 1960.
Declared a Festival of International Interest, it also includes musical acts by folk groups and a medieval market in the 11th century towers.
The occasion the Romeria de Catoira marks was recounted by local and foreign historians, as was the interest Vikings had in ruling over all of Galicia, Spain’s most westerly region, as they did with Normandy in France.
King Olaf II Haraldsson, first a Viking and finally made a saint when he converted to Christianity, called Galicia Jakobsland (Land of James).

American Space agency Nasa has published an amazing photo of the Iberian Peninsula taken from a space station 400 kilometres (248 miles) away from Planet Earth.

Wearing only underwear and angel wings, three young women wiggle their hips to entice customers to enter one of the many nightclubs in Magaluf, a Spanish beach resort notorious for its sex and booze excess.

"We came to get drunk, basically. Everyone knows Magaluf is partying big time," said Bruce Stenning, an 18-year-old from London who came to the Mediterranean island of Majorca with five friends.
"I came for the strippers," added one of his mates, James Pilkington, as he stood outside a bar on the Punta Ballena -- the heart of the resort's nightlife -- which advertised in English "the best lap dance".
Roughly 85 percent of the visitors to Magaluf come from Britain and Ireland, and little Spanish can be seen on bar flyers and billboards offering cheap drinks and theme parties.
Shops sell souvenir T-shirts with the catchphrase "On it 'till we vomit".
But the local authorities -- who would rather attract upmarket tourists -- are calling time on Magaluf, with new rules to rein in the most dangerous and hedonistic antics.
The resort made headlines around the world last month after a video showing a young woman performing oral sex on several men on the dance floor of a nightclub went viral on the Internet.
Local media reported that the nightclub was staging a contest which offered free drinks to women who performed the most fellatio in the least amount of time.
"My family were concerned about me coming here thinking that this was normal," said Sorcha Rafferty, a 19-year-old from Belfast with 13 friends.
"Magaluf has got a reputation that people come on holiday here and have sex everywhere. And it's true!" added her friend Bryony Spence, 20, at a bar offering the vodka cocktail "Sex on the Beach".

Following the scandal local authorities ordered the Playhouse nightclub where the sex-for-drinks game took place to be closed for a year.
They also slapped the nightclub and a firm that offers pub crawls, Carnage Magaluf, which organised the game, with a fine of €55,000 ($73,000).
Magaluf has many such firms where a guide takes large groups of youths from bar to bar to enjoy unlimited drinks for a flat fee, and also take part in games that mix alcohol and eroticism.
Most are organised by British businessmen, and some of them respect the law and some do not, said Montserrat Jaen, the tourism director general of the regional government of the Balearic Islands.
The Balearic Islands are fighting to end this type of "low cost" tourism which is restricted to "a few very small, concrete areas", she added.
Such resorts "are remnants and I think that in the long term they will convert" to the quality tourism that the Balearic Islands offer in many other places, she said.
Just hundreds of metres away from the Punta Ballena strip and its rowdy bars, yachts bob gently in crystal clear waters.

Calvia, the municipality Magaluf belongs to, introduced a bylaw on July 25th to regulate pub crawls which sets limits on the number of participants.
Five days later the municipality closed a second nightclub, this time for breaking the limit on the number of clients, said Joan Feliu, who is in charge of bar licensing at Calvia city hall.
In a region that is dependent on tourism -- the Balearic Islands received 13 million visitors in 2013 who spent €12 billion ($16 billion) -- local authorities traditionally only fine companies not tourists.
"People are never punished even though the law also stipulates a series of obligations for tourists," said Feliu.
Another bylaw was recently introduced banning "balconing" -- jumping from one apartment balcony to another or from a balcony down into a swimming pool.
Several youths have been killed or seriously injured in recent years due to the "balconing" craze.
Hotels also kick out guests who destroy furniture or attack staff.
About 250 hotel guests were asked to leave last year for misbehaving, according to Joan Espina, the vice president of the Association of Hotels of Palmanova-Magaluf.
"This has always happened, it happens now with these kids and it happened with their parents when they came in their day," he said.
Alcohol flows all day in Magaluf, beside swimming pools in the morning, on boat cruises in the afternoon and in bars and nightclubs at night.
By dawn tourists can be seen fighting in the streets, throwing up, passing out, and in the most serious of cases, being stretchered off to hospital.
Despite everything, Sorcha and Bryony plan to return next year.
"Of course!" they said in unison when asked if they would be back.

In a letter dated August 1st, Margallo advised the EU's diplomacy chief to take urgent action with the parties involved in the conflict, and with other countries involved "so that the EU can contribute actively to achieving an immediate truce and  a lasting ceasefire".
Margallo backed Egyptian proposals for a ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian militants in the letter quoted by Spain's El Mundo newspaper but went a step further and said this needed to be backed up by a United Nations Security Council resolution.
Spain's foreign minister cited a 2006 precedent which saw a UN resolution bring a complete stop to hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Spain contributed 1,100 soldiers to a United Nations force stationed in Lebanon, of which some 700 remain deployed in the region.
Seven-hour ceasefire
Israel announced it would be holding its fire in most of Gaza for seven hours on Monday, amid world outrage over a deadly strike on a UN school in the Palestinian territory.
The Israeli army said the seven-hour "humanitarian window" would take place between 0700-1400 GMT in all of the Palestinian enclave except the area east of southern city Rafah, "where clashes were still ongoing and there was Israeli military presence."
The army warned in a statement that it would "respond to any attempt to exploit this window" and attack civilians and soldiers during the truce, the sixth Israel has declared since the July 8th beginning of the confrontation.
It also said that residents of Abasan al Kabira and Abasan al Saghira, two villages east of Khan Yunis in southern Gaza, could return home.
The announcement was received with distrust by the Islamist Hamas movement, whose spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri called on Gazans to proceed with caution.
"The unilateral ceasefire announced by Israel is an attempt to divert the attention from Israeli massacres," he said.
The Israeli army said that it had on Sunday targeted three Islamic Jihad militants on a motorbike "in vicinity of an UNRWA school in Rafah."
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called the attack on the school sheltering some 3,000 Palestinians who had fled their homes due to the fighting "a moral outrage and a criminal act".
US State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Washington was "appalled" by the attack and called for a "full and prompt" investigation.
"Israel must do more to meet its own standards and avoid civilian casualties," she said.
French President Francois Hollande said the bombing of the school was "unacceptable", backing calls by Ban "to ask that those responsible for this violation of international law answer for their actions", without saying who he considered responsible.
In an early Monday statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said "Israel does not aim its fire at civilians and is sorry for any attack that unintentionally hits civilians," without directly addressing the attack on the school.
Israeli strikes on Gaza meanwhile continued early Monday, killing 11 people, including an Islamic Jihad commander, raising the death toll since the July 8 beginning of the confrontation to over 1,820 according to Palestinian medical sources.
Truce talks
The Israeli announcement on the truce came as the 28th day of the confrontation began, with international attempts to broker a diplomatic end to the fighting bearing no results.
The Palestinians, who met Sunday to hammer out a common position, want "a ceasefire; Israeli troop withdrawal from Gaza; the end of the siege of Gaza and opening of its border crossings," said Maher al-Taher, a member of the delegation.
In the early hours of Monday at least three rockets were fired at Israel, with a rocket intercepted over southern city Ashdod, a military spokeswoman said.
Since July 8 Gaza militants have fired over 2,560 rockets and mortar shells that struck Israel, a military spokeswoman said Monday, with another 557 rockets intercepted by the Iron Dome defence system.
Two Israeli civilians and a Thai farm worker were killed by mortars and rockets fired at Israel by Gaza militants in the past four weeks, with 64 soldiers killed in clashes and shellings in and around Gaza.
Unilateral withdrawal?
In his Monday statement, Netanyahu said the Gaza operation "will continue until its goals are reached: a return of quiet and security for Israeli citizens for a long period, while significantly harming terror infrastructure."
"After completing our actions against the terror tunnels aimed at a mass attack against Israeli civilians, the IDF (Israel Defence Forces) will deploy for further activity according to our security needs, until our goals are achieved," he said, echoing a Saturday remark seen as being the harbinger of a unilateral Israeli withdrawal.
On Sunday, the army confirmed it had begun withdrawing some troops from Gaza.
"We are removing some (forces)," Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner told news agency AFP, saying troops were "extremely close" to completing a mission to destroy a network of tunnels.
"We are redeploying within the Gaza Strip, taking out other positions," he said, indicating that the military was "changing gear".
Witnesses had on Saturday reported seeing troops leave Beit Lahiya and Al-Atatra in the north as well as from villages east of Khan Yunis in the south.
On Sunday, AFP correspondents reported around 100 tanks gathering in the border area outside Gaza where they had not been before, having just pulled out, while others were seen driving away from the border.
