An 11-year-old boy has revealed his talent for speaking backwards in a video posted online by his father.
In the five-minute clip on YouTube, Cameron's father gives him sentences to say backwards. Scottish boy Cameron uses an iPad app that reverses speech to demonstrate his talent.
The app transposes regular speech into backwards speech, but since Cameron is already speaking backwards to begin with the sentences become understandable when played through the app.

He starts off with the simple sentence of 'My name is Cameron and I live in Scotland', before his dad starts giving him more complex sentences such as: 'I went outside to play on my bike today'.
Cameron was also asked in the video - posted in April 2012 - to say backwards: 'I'm going to Canada for my summer holidays'. He can also count from one to 20 backwards.

Pakistan bans science text book on pretext of it provoking 'sexual desire

Pakistan bans science text book on pretext of it provoking 'sexual desire'

LAHORE: The government of Pakistan's Punjab province has banned a science book for Grade VI students of a chain of elite schools for containing material that could provoke " sexual desire".
The text book used by the Lahore Grammar School was banned after authorities received complaints from parents.
"We have banned the book after receiving complaints from parents," provincial education minister Rana Mashhood Ahmad told PTI

 The science book had material that could provoke "sexual desire", which could not be tolerated, he said.
"We will not allow anyone to teach our children with material which is against our social values and religious beliefs," Ahmad said.
An inquiry was underway to ascertain why "objectionable" contents were included in the science book, he said.
The Punjab government also took cognizance of the same school's decision to replace Islamic Studies, a compulsory subject, with Religious Studies in Grade VI.
"The new subject contains material which may mislead and confuse the minds of children," Ahmad said.
"Article 25 of the Constitution of Pakistan is quite clear about the provision that no Pakistani citizen should be taught a religion other than his own religion - Islam," Ahmad said.
