  Most of the startups crash. But many of these errors are preventable. Lean Startup is a new approach that is being implemented across the globe, changing the way businesses are being developed and new products are being introduced.  
  Eric Ries describes a start-up as an entity committed to creating something new under conditions of intense uncertainty. This is just as true for one person in the garage or a group of experienced professionals in the Fortune 500 boardroom. What they have in common is a desire to penetrate the fog of confusion in order to discover a successful path to sustainable business.  
  The Lean Startup strategy supports businesses that are both more capital-efficient and harness human creativity more effectively. Inspired by lessons learned from lean manufacturing, it relies on' validated learning,' rapid scientific testing, as well as a variety of counter-intuitive practices that shorten product development cycles, evaluate real progress without using arbitrary metrics, and understand what consumers really want. This allows an organization to change directions with precision, alter plans inch by inch, minute by minute.  
  Instead of wasting time making complex business plans, The Lean Startup provides entrepreneurs— in businesses of all sizes— a way to constantly test their dream, change and modify before it's too late. Ries offers a practical approach to creating and managing productive start-ups at a time when businesses need to evolve more than ever.

  Since the 1960s, documentary films have moved closer to the mainstream, thanks to the popularity of rockumentaries, association with the independent film movement, support from public and cable television, and the rise of streaming video services. Documentary films have become reliable earners at the US box office and ubiquitous on streaming platforms, while historically they existed on the margins of mainstream media.The growing commercialization of documentary film has not gone unnoticed, but it has not been sufficiently explained. Streaming and the growing interest in reality TV are usually offered as explanations whenever a documentary enters the cultural conversation or breaks a box-office record, but neither of those causes grapple with the overlapping causal mechanisms that commercialized documentary film. How Documentaries Went Mainstream provides a more comprehensive and meaningful periodization of the commercialization of documentary film. Although the commercial ascension of documentary films might seem meteoric, it is the culmination of decades-long efforts that have developed and fortified the audience for documentary features. Author Nora Stone refines rough explanations of these efforts through a robust history of the market for documentary films, using knowledge of film economics and the norms of industry discourse to tell a richer story.

  As a music teacher and performer, I have seen many students struggle to advance beyond the beginner level. They may become frustrated or feel that they are not progressing as quickly as they would like. However, I believe that anyone can become a skilled pianist or keyboardist with the right guidance and practice. 
  I wrote this book to provide a comprehensive guide for beginners who want to take their playing to the next level. This book is intended for complete beginners who want to learn from scratch and for those who have experience with the instrument and want to improve their skills. 
  In this book, you will find a collection of exercises and techniques that will help you develop your playing abilities. Each exercise focuses on a specific skill, such as hand independence, chord progressions, or finger dexterity. By practicing these exercises regularly, you will see significant improvements in your playing abilities. 
  Additionally, this book includes simple sheet music of all-time favorites that will help you apply the skills and techniques you have learned. Playing familiar songs can motivate you and help you develop your musicality and expression.
