Lake Bayano
High quality version of a video I did recently for some lakefront property, also highlighting a little known area of Panama. Shot on the 5D and GH2 with Flow-motion hack.
Description from youtube link:
Eastern Panama is beginning to take its place as a unique and beautiful region of Panama. Lake Bayano and its Bayano Caves, located in eastern Panama Province not far from Panama City, have already brought increasing numbers of Panamanians and foreign visitors to its shores and the numbers continue to increase. The hydroelectric power plant at the Lake provides a substantial portion of the electricity that lights homes and offices in Panama City and, in recent years, the Lake has become a center of tilapia farming and tilapia are now found in major supermarkets locally, as well as exported. The identification of substantial oil and natural gas in eastern Panama will become more widely-recognized in 2013 as companies compete for the rights to develop these resources, bringing still more attention to the Lake as well as the region. The economy of eastern Panama is in the early stages of a significant economic boom.
But the real story of Lake Bayano is its beauty. With 80% of the Lake's waterfront held within a "comarca", an area set aside for Panama's indigenous peoples and where commercial activities are forbidden, only 20% is available for sale as property. This lot is the only one of its kind currently for sale, but the winds of change are blowing and they are coming to all of the east, including the Lake. Only an hour and a half from downtown Panama City and with a newly paved Inter-American highway and newly-installed bridges, travel to and from the city, Panama's largest market for vacation homes and touristic activities, is faster and more comfortable as well. In addition, the property fronts on the only paved road in the Lake area other than the Inter-American highway and directly linking to it,
For those who think in terms of acres, not square meters, the price per acre is 22K.
This is the period when someone who either wishes to live or set up a tourist business or both in a stunningly beautiful location should be thinking seriously about Lake Bayano. Land for construction will not be cheaper, it will be more expensive in the near future. A wise investor does not wait. For more information on this property visit http://panamalakeproperty.wordpress.com. For more on Lake Bayano, visit http://LakeBayano.com or http://LagoBayano.com (español).
With his background in global economic development and investment, Bob has written on five occasions for Barron's, the US financial publication, and on multiple occasions for Minyanville and Business Insider, as well as interviewed by CNBC, the New York Times, USA Today, US News and World Report, and a long list of others.
Many thanks to Kent Davis and Jeffrey Lane for their comments and most certainly Stuart Hooper who produced and directed the video. Thank you, guys!

The Passage Trailer
The existence, maintenance, and development of the Panama Canal is of global interest. It is the primary shipping route for world trade between the Atlantic and the Pacific and provides Panama with great economic stability. As Panama has learned to operate the canal, it has also learned of the challenges associated with it. During a trip to Panama, Alex Douglas began to investigate the canal's impending expansion due to global, economic and technological demand. As well as interviewing those directly involved in determining the canal's trajectory, he turned to voices that were not normally included in the dialogue, people with whom he lived for months at a time. His immersion in the lives of people from all backgrounds surfaced a more pressing need to examine the country's distribution of wealth. Even with the canal’s current successes, people in parts of Panama still struggle to find means to survive. Alex returned with a small team to document the landscape and people whose lives would be affected by the canal expansion and depend upon it's success. While the appropriate investments have been made to secure their financial future, it remains to be seen whether Panama will meet the social challenges that will undoubtably expand alongside the canal.
The Passage contains extensive footage and interviews, gathered from more than a year spent in Panama. It includes interviews with Nicolas Ardita Barletta (Former President of Panama, and Vice President of the World Bank), Jorge Quijano (Director of Maritime Operations for the Panama Canal), Juan Wong (Chief Engineer for the Expansion of the Panama Canal), and Stanley Heckadon (Director of the Smithsonian Institute in Panama) as well as voices from outside the larger sphere of influence: Anna Crossdale (single mother of three, living in the Colon slums), Bienvinedos Montenegro (70 year old taxi driver in Panama city), Carlos Valderrama (sugar cane farmer in rural Coicle), and Manuel and Maxwell (two fishermen from San Blas). These voices, mingled with vivid scenery ranging from the slum to the city, form a fuller spectrum of thought and implication surrounding the Canal's expansion. With billions of dollars being spent, heavy Western involvement, and the assurance of more money being channeled back into the economy, there has never been a more important time to closely examine these rapid developments and their effects on the lives of people.

Ben Uyeda co-founded Zero Energy Design (ZED), a multi disciplinary firm that specializes in ecologically conscious housing. As a design principle Ben focused on sustainable housing projects both in the US and abroad. ZED's work has been published in numerous publications including Architectural Record, Popular mechanics, Design New England, and Boston Home. Ben's interest in designing sustainable housing for developing nations has taken him to a multitude of countries including Nigeria, Dominica, and Panama. In 2006 Ben was asked to speak before the prime minister of Dominica about the possibility of using environmentally sensitive building practices to revitalize the local economy. In 2008 Mr. Uyeda founded FreeGreen.com a web based media company that distributes green home designs over the Internet. By 2009 FreeGreen had become the largest supplier of home designs in the world and was recognized By I.D. Magazine in its annual I.D. 40 issue as one of the 40 projects/people that is transforming the world. FreeGreen's innovative business model has been discussed in numerous publications including: The New York Times, Architectural Record, and Fast Company. Ben has taught in the architecture departments of both Cornell University and Northeastern University. During his time as a visiting lecturer at Cornell, Ben developed an original curriculum for teaching architecture students how to critically evaluate sustainable design strategies.
FreeGreen
Our theory around our Free House Plans is as follows:
No longer are homes made from simple raw materials. Today's homes are assembled from a complex combination of existing products and service providers. With this transition in home assemblies, product placement has become a natural part of the home design process (especially in green homes). From choosing cabinets that work with your kitchen, to making sure your insulation performs well and contributes to good indoor air quality, it all comes down to the products that we choose. FreeGreen has taken advantage of this progression in construction reality to create a symbiotic environment where the placement of our sponsor or vendor products allows us to create better, more usable house plans for our users, while giving us the ability to offer those same house plans for free. That said, we are not shy in saying that: FreeGreen would not exist without paid placement from product manufacturers, and all product or service provider placements should be considered advertising. In the same way that television has used advertiser revenues to bring us our favorite programs for free, FreeGreen, is using house plan product placement to promote and disseminate green design for free. In order to avoid product bias, we present every product and material in a fair and clear light. Users can see ratings from established third-party green certification programs such as LEED and NAHB for each product (good or bad), or research performance through our energy modeling reports. Our goal is to show you a multitude of material and product possibilities through various lenses, including quality, health, and energy performance.
Zero Energy Design
ZeroEnergy Design (ZED) is an architecture and energy consulting firm specializing in new construction and major renovations. Our commitment to innovative and ecologically sensible design is reflected in our multidisciplinary knowledge base, which spans architecture, mechanical engineering and financial analysis. With this shared expertise, ZED originates designs that are tailored to a client's way of life, environmental ideology, and unique sense of style. We take our name from the industry term zero energy (or zero-net energy), which is defined as a building that creates as much energy as it uses. A zero energy building is the result of a multi-disciplined effort and appropriately symbolizes our integrated design philosophy and approach. While zero energy buildings are an aspirational goal for some, they are feasible for some clients.

Lodewijk Hof
Lodewijk Hof (1987) Eindhoven
Levensloop en opleiding
Lodewijk heeft een visuele beperking. Hij heeft een zicht van 14-16%. Dat heeft hij al van jongs af aan. Zijn moeder was verpleegkundige en had dat uiteindelijk snel door. De oorzaak is onbekend. De basisschool was rampzalig voor Lodewijk: ‘Kinderen zijn keihard. Geen idee wat je daaraan zou kunnen doen.’’ In groep 7/8 ging hij dan ook naar Grave, naar de ‘blindenschool’ (Visio). Hij deed daar ook de Middelbare School, Mavo. Hij ging daarna MBO doen op Sonneheerd (Bartimeus). Men dacht dat secretarieel werk hem wel lag. Dat was geen succes. Toen koos hij voor administratie. Eigenlijk deed Lodewijk allemaal activiteiten beneden zijn niveau. Hij bleek uiteindelijk namelijk hoogbegaafd te zijn, en daarbij autistische kenmerken te hebben: het syndroom van Asperger.
Uiteindelijk kwam hij terecht op de Nieuwe Business School (HBO) in Amsterdam. Daar kwam Lodewijk in conflict met docenten over het onderwijsmodel. Alles was gericht op groepsprocessen, en daar was Lodewijk niet erg goed in, het leverde alleen maar ruzie op. Daarnaast was het een brede opleiding, maar Lodewijk wilde eigenlijk alleen ‘zijn ding’ doen. “Als ieder zijn ding doet, kun je toch nog samenwerken…Men dacht er anders over, daardoor voelde ik me wel heel beperkt in mijn mogelijkheden.”
Lodewijk begon tegelijkertijd met zijn eigen bedrijfje en hield van provoceren. “Ik deed bijvoorbeeld de boekhouding van een aantal prostituees. Dat strookte niet helemaal met de visie van de school. Maar ze zagen ook wel dat andere studenten geen cent te makken hadden, en ik goed geld verdiende. Mijn klanten waren goed van betalen…” Uiteindelijk maakte Lodewijk de opleiding niet af. Hij ging fulltime met zijn eigen bedrijf aan de slag.
Werk
Lodewijk helpt mensen met administratie en met belastingzaken. Hij vindt het een sport om daarbij creatieve manieren te vinden om zo min mogelijk belasting te betalen. “Alles binnen de wet!”
Hij maakt gebruik van mogelijkheden in Dubai, Hong Kong, Panama en the Isle of Man. Meer informatie over zijn werk: http://www.hof-consultancy.nl/Pers_files/Nationaal%20Hofs.pdf
http://www.linkedin.com/in/lodewijkhof
Isle of man
“Op het Isle of Man zien ze me graag komen. Mijn huisvesting is geregeld. Ik krijg zelfs een hulp in de huishouding, vanwege mijn handicap. Ook krijg ik gratis vervoer naar een oogziekenhuis in London. Daar moet ik één keer per jaar naartoe. Ik begin daar een eigen bedrijf, en kom zelf op de loonlijst te staan. De afspraken met de overheid zijn heel helder en voordelig voor mij. Geen inkomstenbelasting voor de eerste 100.000 euro die ik verdien.
De stad heeft 30.000 inwoners (het hele eiland 80.000). Het is er rustgevend, overal zee om je heen, goed eten, veel cultuur en toerisme. Het halve eiland werkt in de financiële sector of in de advocatuur. Ze vinden mij daar interessant vanwege de Beneluxmarkt. Het eiland wordt door de overheid als een bedrijf gerund.”
Contacten/stimulansen
“Mijn moeder is mijn belangrijkste stimulans geweest. Verder heb ik weinig contacten behalve met klanten. Ik werk minimaal 70 uur per week. Ben een echte nerd, een workaholic. Voor communiceren en onder de mensen zijn, moet ik echt moeite doen. Ik wil het liefst gewoon mijn ding doen. Ik zoek doorgaans mensen die met getallen bezig zijn. Dat boeit mij en dan gaat het me allemaal makkelijk af. Verder ben ik een enorme nieuwsjunk. Vooral BBC Worldservice en BNR. Ik heb mezelf veel geleerd en hou alles bij op het gebied van economie. Openbare bronnen is voldoende om de rest een stap voor te zijn. Maar je moet er wel moeite voor doen. En dat doe ik. Ja, ik ben erg nieuwsgierig en bereidwillig om van anderen te leren. Dat zijn handige eigenschappen. Verder heb ik lak aan mijn handicap. En lak aan wat mensen soms van mij vinden. Ik doe mijn ding, klaar.”
Inspiratie
“Ooit kreeg ik het audio-boek “Rich Dad Poor Dad’’. Daarin staan 7 levenslessen voor de ondernemer, geschreven vanuit het perspectief van een kind. Ik kreeg het van een nerd van een ICT bedrijf. Ik was toen 18. Ik werd erdoor gegrepen en meldde me aan voor een community die bijeenkomsten hield. Daar werd het spel Cash Flow gespeeld. Ik was verkocht. Ik had daar ook een soort mentor, die ik nog steeds zie. Hij zei: “Doe je ding, heb plezier en zorg dat je er geld mee verdient. Dat is mijn motto eigenlijk”.

Handicaps
“Veel mensen met een beperking wachten, en wachten. Ik snap het wel, maar het is jammer. Ik weet ook wel dat de arbeidsmarkt niet gunstig is, maar je kan ook een eigen bedrijf beginnen. Ik zou willen zeggen, ook tegen het UWV: Denk niet aan hoe het niet kan, maar denk aan hoe het wel kan.
Een hulphond neem ik niet. Ik
