Lord of the Plants:
Death Metal Eco-Baron Rewilds Irish Estate
Randal Plunkett, the 21st Baron of Dunsany, strides out of his Irish castle in a T-shirt bearing the name of death metal band "Cannibal Corpse" in bloody lettering.
In the distance, a russet-coloured stag appears for a moment, before dissolving into the 750 acres (300 hectares) of ancestral estate Plunkett has surrendered to the wilderness -- almost half of his lands.
"I felt a sort of sense of duty towards the environment here," said Plunkett, perched on a decaying tree trunk sprouting a clutch of mushrooms.
"I'm a caretaker of this estate for this generation and the estate is not just the castle, it's also the land but it's also the environment," the aristocrat told AFP, his mane of shoulder-length hair rippling in the breeze.
Eight years ago, death metal fan Plunkett, whose family have presided over Dunsany Castle northwest of Dublin for nine centuries, began his "radical" rewilding project.
The 38-year-old vegan, an unlikely successor to ancestors depicted in sober portraits lining the walls of the grey stone castle, evicted livestock and dismissed lawnmowers to allow nature to take its course.
Now, the results are plain. The ultra-rare pine marten has been spotted. Otters and red deer thrive.
Skies are jammed with birds: buzzards, red kites, peregrine falcons, sparrowhawks, kestrels and snipes.
Plunkett says a woodpecker has been sighted in the area for the first time in a century.
Beyond the castle crenellations, the lawn is transformed into a swirling morass of 23 species of grass, fizzing with insect life.
Plunkett lends a hand here and there -- planting 2,500 trees last year was no small feat -- but mostly he is hands-off.
"As I watched it, I began to understand what the land was doing," he said after trudging across a field of knotted undergrowth in a faux leather jacket.
"It became a rewilding project," he said, as two Jack Russell terriers named Beavis and Butt-head gambol around his vegan-friendly Doc Martens boots.

Cohesion and coherence are fundamental properties of a text that ensure it functions as a unified whole. Analyze the following
statements regarding these concepts:
I- Cohesion refers to the linguistic links and cues within a text (such as pronouns, conjunctions, and ellipsis) that connect one part of the sentence or text to another.
II- Coherence is primarily concerned with the underlying semantic logic and the “make-sense-ness” of a text, often relying on the reader's world knowledge and the context of situation.
III- The use of conjunctions (e.g., however, therefore) is a mechanism of lexical cohesion, whereas the use of synonyms and superordinates represents grammatical cohesion.
IV- A text may possess high grammatical cohesion but lack coherence if the linked sentences do not follow a logical progression of ideas or fail to relate to a central theme.
Which of the statements above are CORRECT?

Air Traffic Controllers
The USA's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has launched a recruitment campaign aimed at gamers. The FAA
wants them to consider becoming air traffic controllers. There is a shortage of workers in the sector, so the government hopes
people skilled at gaming could fill the growing number of vacancies. The US currently needs at least 3,000 controllers. Nick
Daniels, president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, said: “Our union welcomes innovative approaches to
expanding the candidate pool, including outreach to individuals with high-level skills, such as gamers, so long as all pathways
maintain the rigorous standards required of this safety-critical profession.”
The recruitment drive has a video with an Xbox logo on it. The tag line is explicitly aimed at gamers. It says: “You've been
training for this… Become an air traffic controller. It's not a game. It's a career.” The promo adds: “You'll keep millions of people safe
every year. And make a lot of money.” The enticing salary is $155,000 a year. US Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy said the
country needs to tempt “a growing demographic of young adults who have many of the hard skills it takes to be a successful controller”.
Some current controllers have said gaming could be a useful skill. They said it had "an influence on their ability to think quickly, stay
focused, and manage complexity”.
