By Chris Delmas/AFP/Getty Images. te previous reports indicating that Disney was preparing to let John Lasseter go for good, Walt Disney executives are apparently considering bringing the disgraced Pixar chief back into the fold at the company. The chief creative officer went on a six-month sabbatical starting last November after being accused of sexual misconduct and unwanted physical contact.

Guillermo Parilla, a jimador (professional agave harvester) in Jalisco, Mexico cuts the long sharp leaves off of the piña, the heart of a mature blue agave plant using a special knife/shovel tool called a ‘coa'. These piña are then trucked to the Tequila Ocho distillery nearby where they are baked in giant ovens, smashed, soaked, fermented and distilled the old fashioned way to create high end tequila. I recently travelled to Jalisco, Mexico to photograph the production of tequila for a new @natgeo and @wsj magazine called Far & Away. The inaugural issue of the mag was released last weekend within the Wall Street Journal. ‘Tequila Rocks’ was a journey through the blue agave fields East of Guadalajara, to the rowdy bars and many distilleries of Tequila town.

Critics say the former colonel is trying to undermine democracy The Comoros islands boasts dramatic volcanic landscapes, ylang-ylang essential oils and picture-perfect beaches, but beneath this idyllic image, a complex political crisis is worsening. At its heart is President Azali Assoumani, facing a mounting chorus from critics who describe him as bent on enshrining himself in power and destroying democracy. The Constitutional Court has been suspended, demonstrations outlawed and one of Azali's leading critics, former president Ahmed Abdallah Sambi, has been placed under house arrest.

"It's a constitutional coup d'etat," said Youssouf Boina, head ...
