Disgraced former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert began his 19 month jail term for corruption on Monday, becoming the first ever Israeli leader to be incarcerated. Olmert, who resigned from office in 2009, was handed an 18-month prison sentence in May 2015 for bribery after a court found him guilty of promoting a controversial real estate project in Jerusalem. The charges related to the period when he was the mayor of the city. A further month to his sentence was added last month for obstruction of justice.

"The world is seemingly full of disconnected crises, but Rob Kall begs to differ. An exceptional pattern thinker, he connects a range of contemporary challenges through a framework of bottom-up solutions in a world dominated by top-down thinking. Mining extensive interviews with thought leaders and exploring an eclectic mix of leading-edge ideas, Bottom-Up describes a variety of latent and emergent characteristics of an evolutionary paradigm shift that's changing the world. Whether your focus is in business, leadership, activism, or organizations, Kall offers a practical conceptual map and toolset to engage the planetary evolution taking place all around us. If you want to make a difference and need inspiration for how to participate in this global transformation, there is plenty in this book to draw from."
