Key skill assessment: Improving your own learning and performance
Learning new skills is what makes us human – but can we improve how we go about...
Learning new skills is what makes us human – but can we improve how we go about learning new things in new situations? Learning how to learn can help you to understand what works for you – and what doesn't – when you set out to learn new skills at work, in education or training and in everyday life. In developing and assessing the key skill of improving your own learning and performance, you will learn to recognise, use and adapt your skills confidently and effectively in different situations and contexts. This unit is designed to be studied for 1 hour per week over 50 weeks.
Having studied this unit you should be able to:
- develop a strategy for using skills in improving own learning and performance over an extended period of time;
- monitor progress and adopt your strategy, as necessary, to achieve the quality of outcomes required;
- evaluate your overall strategy and present outcomes of your work.

Key skill assessment: improving your own learning and performance
This key skill is about helping you understand how you learn; think about how you can improve your own learning and performance, and consider how you might generalise the principles and processes for future learning.
Improving your learning and performance could be considered to be a 'meta-skill', that is the skill of learning how to learn. This unit, then, is a little different from the other skills units because improving your own learning and performance is not a separate option that you can choose to concentrate on or not – it is the basis of the three-stage framework of developing a strategy, monitoring progress and evaluating performance which you will use to develop and improve other key skills and your learning more generally. The key skill of improving your own learning and performance can be practised and developed like other skills, but unlike other skills it seems more difficult to measure and assess. What is possible, however, is to use the structure and activities presented in the OpenLearn unit U529 Key skills – making a difference to help you think about what you are doing and how well you are doing it, and then at regular intervals stand back and look at your own progress objectively. This unit is designed to be studied for 1 hour per week over 50 weeks.

Day 5 Galapagos
... out of port for a 9 hour trip (very long for us) to a spot between the islands of Bartholomew and Santiago - attached see a pic of my lovely view out the back of the boat. It is a beautiful evening and now that I have my solo cabin I will head down and sit outside (Diane had asked for a balcony cabin and it has been very pleasant to leave the door open at night and enjoy the lovely air and sounds of the water and I am grateful to her for how it worked out :) ).
Sunday in the Park, Volleyball and Demons
... at whatever they do for cocktail parties.
Last example: I passed a smiling Mum squeezing some sugary goop out of a plastic pouch into her toddler's mouth. Irony of ironies (worse by far than a fly in your c************ your wedding day) the youngster was sitting on an overflowing crate of fruit. Yes dear Ecuadorians you have shining eyes and shining hair and play volleyball in the heat of mid day with vigor. But the demons have slithered into your country. ...
Latitude 00•00'00" (Day 60)
... One if our favorite parts were the gargoyles at the cathedral. Instead of being your average demons, they had animals from the different regions - turtles, condors, pumas, etc. We paid our guides to drive us to our next hotel, Posada Mirolindo, about an hour away but very close to the airport. It was almost impossible to find because it didn't register on google maps or their GPS. And that's because it is truly in the countryside - a family owned farm house that has been renovated ...
16th Nov - Quito whistle stop
I had a bit of a whistle stop visit of Quito, arriving Sunday night, checked into a hostel, and found a free city tour for the next morning. The group was huge, we first visited the cathedral as our guide had heard it was going to be closed the next day for repairs to all the clocks. The cathedral was very impressive, we climbed up the stairs and into the rafters where you could climb higher to a tower for a pretty spectacular view of the cathedral and ...
Worth Every Penny
... tours are popular in Europe, but I've never participated in one myself. Honestly, it was one of the best tours I have ever taken. Ovi was our guide and had us start by introducing ourselves and stating what country we are from. It was a nice, eclectic bunch of travelers today from Australia, Germany, Canada, Liberia, Switzerland and of course USA. Ovi took us down to the Central Market where we saw vendors in action selling their goods. ...

Brianna Perry - Red Cup
Artist: Brianna Perry
Featuring: Pusha T
Producer: Lambo
Album: Symphony No. 9
Avg Rating: 1.8 ( 4 votes )
Brianna Perry may be a grown-ass woman with a major-label contract, but she's still a college student at heart. Don't believe me? Just take a listen to the Atlantic/Poe Boy signee's latest single, which finds her sipping spiked punch from that mainstay of house parties, the Red Solo Cup. Backed by Lambo's synth-bassline, handclaps and wailing sirens, Perry shows us why she's the biggest dog on campus, delivering bars jam-packed with braggadocious one-liners. Fresh off dropping his highly-anticipated Wrath of Caine tape, Pusha T drops in to do a little stunting of his own on the middle verse. Fans can find a truncated version of Red Cup on Brianna Perry's Symphony No. 9 mixtape, released to the 'net in November 2012.

The pole fairy godmother's magic shoes gave me confidence.
Not that I need a special day of the year to be a narcissistic, self-promoting fame whore.
The word should be savored.
"Just hold it steady and I'll nail it in."
Mother's Day is a sobering reminder that I have children.
Older women have mastered the art of masking condescension as pleasant observation: a righteous skill.
I'm "Conjunction Junction" years old.
She didn't take shit from anyone and did as she pleased, usually while holding a tumbler glass full of booze.

Winters Performance Differentials are the perfect solution to get the power to the pavement for your high powered street/race car.
As of January 1, 2014, JE Import Performance will no longer have Saturday hours. Going forward, our operating hours will be Monday – Friday, 9:00AM to 6:00PM.
We understand that this may inconvenience some of our customers, however we feel that this change will provide us with more time to interact and participate at track events, car shows, autocrosses, etc. In addition, it will provide our hard-working techs and service advisers with a, very well deserved, 2-day weekend.
We will still be available on Saturdays, by appointment ONLY.
Friends, after the SUCCESS of last year's tire-shredding OPEN HOUSE, we decided that we had to do it again. MARK YOUR CALENDERS! The official date for this year's madness is SATURDAY- OCTOBER 26th! Do not miss this event! IT WILL BE ANOTHER UNFORGETTABLE WEEKEND.
Come join JE Import Performance for our 2nd Annual Open House at our HUGE new location! There will be a car showcase, dyno competitions, shop tours, Maryland Style BBQ, SPONSOR raffles/prizes, tech discussions, great people, and more! See the JE Import Performance/SIKKY Manufacturing drift cars up close, as well as lots of other exotic machinery.
Held at our massive 60,000sq/ft facility in Baltimore, MD, we are happy to welcome all of our customers as well as the public to attend this event. With D2 and TruHart already on board as sponsors, the raffle and prizes will be off the chain!
If you would like to have your car featured in the showcase, please either email or call us to reserve your spot asap!
Hope to see you there!!!
It was a tough weekend for James and the Sikky/JE Import Performance V8 350Z. Running, just a little too deep into the turn was all it took to do an impromptu front end redesign on the 350z. Thankfully the only injury in this case, was to the car itself. After a day off to rest, James is back to work today, catching up on dyno tuning customer cars!
Ride along with "Rapper" Dan Savage as he gets a little friendly with the wall, in his SIKKY/JE Import Perofrmance 240SX.
This past weekend, August 27-28, James and "Rapper" Dan Savage made the trek up to New Jersey Motorsports Park for Round 3 of the US Drift Series. After a weekend of good competition, and a few sets of rubber absolutely annihilated, JE Import Performance president, James Evans and long time customer, "Rapper" Dan Savage dominated the podium. Coming in 1st, Rapper Dan put on an impressive display of tire destruction and monster drifts. James also put on a noteworthy display of driver skill, coming in 3rd. After pounding some champagne and collectng their trophies, the boys are back in town and getting ready for Round 4!
After being out of the shop on vacation for the past 2 weeks, James was suffering some serious separation anxiety, being away from his drift car for so long. So naturally the only way to get back into the swing of work was to start the day with some quality dyno time with this beast! Results: 550HP and 540lb/ft Torque!

Historical Society & Heritage Commission planning impromptu 100th birthday party for Colonial Theater
LACONIA — The Heritage Commission and Laconia Historical and Museum Society will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the opening of the Colonial Theater beneath the marquee on Sunday, April 13, from noon until 2 p.m.
Dorothy Duffy, who is among the organizers of the event, explained that the theater was built in 1913, but Benjamin Piscopo, its owner, was superstitious and delayed the opening until April 13, 1914.
The celebration is open to all, who are invited to "just come and be one of the living ghosts from the happy past" by sharing remembrances, photographs and mementos of the theater, enjoying light refreshments and singing "Happy Birthday."
The theater, owned by Pat Baldi, who also owns the Weirs Beach Drive-In, has been dark since 2002. In 2011 the Cultural Arts Center of Lakes Region, a non-profit corporation formed at the initiative of the city, mounted a major effort to acquire the theater that foundered when the appraised value fell far short of the asking price.

Heritage group believes it has few months to find private developer to move Hathaway House
LACONIA — With time running short to spare the Hathaway House from the wrecking ball, the Heritage Commission last evening decided to seek a private developer or investor willing to take ownership of the building and move it to another location in the city.
Pam Clark, who chairs the commission, explained that Greg Nolan of Cafua Management Company, the owner of the building at 106 Union Ave., has assured city officials that "the building is ours if we can move it." She said that Nolan, who now has a permit to demolish the historic mansion in hand, has granted the commission "a reasonable window of opportunity" to relocate the building, which she understands to be "three or four months."
The home was built in 1870 by Samuel C. Clark, a prominent attorney in Lakeport, then known as Lake Village.
Last month Maggie Stier of the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance and Steve Bedard of Bedard Preservation of Gilmanton estimated the cost of moving and renovating the building would fall between $563,400 and $751,200, adding "our estimate for a building of this age, type and condition would be at the higher end of that range." The estimates excluded the cost of a new lot for the building.
Stier and Bedard concluded that "in our estimation, savings this building by moving it to a new location and investing more than half a million dollars in its rehabilitation is not a viable proposition at this time."
Meanwhile, Sarah Anderson, the Gilford teenager who led the effort to reconstruct the Gilford Outing Club warming hut, was not convinced. She told the commission that after speaking with the utility companies and a building mover she pegged the cost of moving the Hathaway House to a lot at 903 Union Avenue at approximately $300,000, including the price of the lot. The half-acre lot with an assessed value of $39,100 is owned by local attorney Phil Brouillard, who has offered it to the commission for $160,000.
"He is very firm about the price," said Clark, who explained that the lot would have to be excavated and a foundation poured to accommodate the building. Brouillard assured her there would be sufficient parking for 30 vehicles. Alternatively, Anderson suggested that a buyer could float the Hathaway House across Paugus Bay and relocated on a lot at South Down Shores or Long Bay.
Anderson went on to sketch a fundraising campaign to fund the project. She said that she had already spoken with a number of prospective tenants of the Hathaway House, including one who wanted to operate a museum and library on the ground floor, who would contribute to the effort.
However, Clark asked "realistically, can we raise $300,000 in the next three months" and answered "no". She said that apart from moving and relocating the building there is the issue of ownership, noting that "the city does not want to own this building."
The alternative, Clark said, is to find a developer or investor interested not only in moving and renovating the Hathaway House but also managing and maintaining the property. She proposed asking the city attorney to enter a formal agreement with Cafua that would enable to the commission to issue a "request for proposals" (RFP) offering the Hathaway House to a private party on the understanding that they would move it, restore it, preserve it and own it.
Clark proposed issuing an RFP in May with a deadline for responses in June. "If we don't get any replies," she said, "the handwriting is on the wall. When is enough going to be enough?"
Stier and Bedard doubted that a private party would undertake the project, noting that they would be dissuaded by "the gap between rehab costs and actual or future real estate value. In our estimation," they continued, "the numbers simply don't add up. Be practical and realistic," they advised. "Recognize that not everything can be saved."

Plymouth State U. Analysis paints bleak picture of future Belknap County economy
PLYMOUTH — In the years ahead the economy of Belknap County will be marked by an aging population, shrinking workforce, dwindling investment and slackening growth according to a study by Daniel Lee, an economist at Plymouth State University.
Dr. Lee could not be reached on Tuesday to comment on his report.
In New Hampshire, where the population is aging more rapidly than in the nation, Lee notes that the population of Belknap County is aging even faster. The median age in the county in 2010 was 44.7, compared to 37.2 in the nation and 41.1 in the state. Only Carroll County and Coos County, where the median ages were 48.3 and 46.4, had older populations. Between 2000 and 2010, those aged five and younger grew just one-percent and those aged between five and 17 shrank nine-percent while those aged 45 to 64 jumped 31 percent and those 65 and older climbed 19 percent.
Without net migration into the county, Lee projects that with this pace of aging the population of working age in Belknap County — those between 20 and 64 — will have decreased 5.8 percent by 2020 and 16.3-percent by 2030. The decline would be surpassed only by Carroll County and Coos County, where he projects the working age populations to shrink by 24.4 percent and 20 percent respectively by 2030. Moreover, Lee notes that the labor participation rate — the number of residents in the workforce — in Belknap County has dropped from 72 percent in 1998 to 64 percent in 2012, compared to a decline from 72 percent to 68 percent in the state.
Lee anticipates that the county's smaller workforce will also have a relatively low level of educational attainment. Although the 32 percent of the state's population has at least a college degree, fewer than one in four residents of Belknap County have more than high school diplomas and the gap between the state and county is widening.
Along with the size and skill of the workforce, Lee counts capital investment as the third major source of long-term economic growth. He calculates that the growth of private investment has slowed in New Hampshire during the past four decades and that investment in Belknap County has lagged the pace in the state. Between 2000 and 2010 the capital stock of the state grew 30 percent, with Grafton County and Merrimack County setting the pace at 55 percent and 39 percent respectively, while it grew 26 percent in Belknap County.
From 2000 to 2010 Lee found that productivity growth fell sharply, by more than two-thirds in the state and by more than half in the county. Although productivity growth in Belknap County of 7.3 percent barely topped the state average of 7.1 percent, it was the fourth lowest rate in the state, far behind Grafton County, which led the field at 25 percent but well ahead of Rockingham County, the tailender at 1.4 percent.
These trends were reflected in slower growth of both employment and income. Belknap County was among the five counties where employment shrank between 2000-2010, though the decline of 4 percent was less than half the 9 percent drops in Coos County and Sullivan County. Meanwhile, personal income rose 16 percent during the same period, faster than the 13 percent in the state as a whole, but far off the pace of increases of 51 percent in the previous two decades.
Lee tracked shifts in the source of income growth by measuring the contribution of different industries to increases in earnings. Between 1970 and 2000 the service and manufacturing sectors drove the economy in the county, generating about a quarter and a fifth of growth in earnings respectively. Retail trade, construction and government services accounted for approximately 1 percent apiece and finance, insurance and real estate (FIRE) and wholesale trade each less than 10 percent.
However, between 2001 and 2001 Lee calculates that government services, health care and social assistance together represented 57 percent of growth in earnings while professional and technical services accounted for another 11 percent. Retail and wholesale trade, along with the dining and hospitality sector, each contributed less than 10 percent. According to Lee, the contribution of the manufacturing sector dropped 31 percent to become "the largest drag during the past decade."
Lee concludes that the Belknap County has been buffeted by the same demographic forces weighing on the state. However, he notes that the county's economy has declined relative to other parts of the state "gradually but steadily over the past four decades," a trend he anticipates will continue.

Suggested Plays 8/253/14:
P- Michael Pineda $5,400- It seems his issues with pine tar and his shoulder are behind him as he's been dominant since coming back. He's facing the Royals at Kauffman Stadium tonight. The Royals haven't seen much of Pineda but they are only batting .194 against him. This does seem like a different team than we are used to but with the lack of pitching tonight, theres not a ton of great options to choose from.
P- Francisco Liriano $7,100- Liriano has been up and down lately. He was torched by the Braves in his last start only lasting 4 innings with a 15.75 ERA. He's facing the Cardinals who are having a down year. Lifetime against the Cards, Liriano has held them to a .290 BA with 3 punch outs. I think he is a great GPP option tonight and most cash-games.
Other P I Like: Tanner Roark-$7,600, Jake Peavy- $7,000
C- Derek Norris $2,700- Norris should see his way into the lineup tonight due to his numbers off Feldman which is 5 for 7. He's a cheap option if you're paying up for pitching.
Other C I Like: Buster Posey- $3,600, Jonathan Lucroy- $3,400
2B- Anthony Rendon- $3,800- He's had Burnett's number career-wise. Rendon is 5 for 12 with 2 HRs and 7 RBIs. I'm leaning towards a Nationals Stack and Rendon is on this list.
3B- Evan Longoria $3,400- He's been heating up lately and finds himself in good standing for tonight against Chris Tillman. He's had Tillman's number lifetime going 13 for 30 with 5 HRs and 2 doubles.
Other 3B I Like: Kyle Seager- $3,100
OF To Target:
Bryce Harper
Denard Span
Colby Rasmus
Jose Bautista
Giancarlo Stanton

If it bothers you that much then just wear a full cage, plenty of guys do, or just try to play in goal if the cost isn't too much of a problem. First step is of course learning to skate, then when you fell you are ready buy some equipment, I'm sure there will be beginner rec teams in the rinks near you.
The season is just about to end, it would be best to contact them soon so if you're going for a manager role they can get you a place on a course in the summer. If you go down the office side you would probably have to start out as a manager and get to know the club before they would give you a secretary or treasurer type role. It's possible to work your way up outside the club within the system also, the manager of my team is in charge of disciplinary in the EPIHL, so he's basically the Shanahan of that league. You don't get paid but you get given perks, he got a free VIP ticket to the Coventry finals weekend.

President Obama's painful, self-inflicted wound
Dear Mr. President:
You lied.
More often than anyone can count you've said some version of the following in defense of the Affordable Care Act: "If you like your healthcare plan, you'll be able to keep your healthcare plan, period."
We learn now that perhaps as many as two million Americans cannot, in fact, do that under the new law. It requires that health insurance cover a comprehensive range of benefits, though more modest policies can be grandfathered in, provided those policies have not been significantly changed since the ACA was enacted in 2010. Anyone whose policy fails to meet one of those two criteria must get a new one.
So what you said was incorrect, and that's bad enough. You made matters worse in a Nov. 4 speech in which you claimed you didn't say what you did.
"What we said," you told the audience, "was, you can keep it if it hasn't changed since the law passed." The Pants on Fire rating that got you from Politifact was richly deserved.
It is hardly news that presidents lie. Bill Clinton parsed an intransitive verb to hide his dalliance with a White House intern, George W. Bush claimed he never advocated "stay the course" in Iraq, Ronald Reagan swore he never traded weapons for hostages to arm the Contras in Nicaragua, Lyndon Johnson escalated U.S. involvement in Vietnam by claiming American warships had suffered unprovoked attacks in the Gulf of Tonkin, Richard Nixon said, "I am not a crook."
But surely you understand by now that you are not just another president. You are, rather, the embodiment of a movement, Exhibit A in the argument that a new America is taking shape before our eyes. So, the rules and expectations are different for you. No one who has been buoyed by that movement, no citizen of that new America, wants to see you acting like just another president, any more than anyone wanted to see Jackie Robinson strike out at bat or Neil Armstrong stumble while stepping off the lunar lander.
Is that fair? No. So what?
You are probably familiar with the political axiom that one campaigns in poetry, but governs in prose. That's true enough, ordinarily, something voters understand, if only instinctively. But the byproduct of embodying a movement is that when you promise poetry, people expect a little poetry. This latest episode amounts to torpid prose.
It is worth noting that people maintain a deep reservoir of goodwill toward you, even now. And it says something that even after three years of strident, hypocritical, extreme and often delusional Republican pounding, even after bizarre comparisons with the Third Reich and slavery, even after claims that death panels are coming after Nana, the ACA remains popular with nearly half the American public.
This is something of a political miracle. But you stretch your luck beyond breaking if you think you can continue to defy gravity while absorbing both the wounds Republicans inflict upon you and those you needlessly inflict upon yourself.
The botched rollout of the ACA with its amateur-hour website was bad enough. Now there's this. An observer can only wonder what you were thinking. Did you believe the lie would not be discovered? Did you think the political gain was worth the embarrassment? Did you not know enough about the law to realize this bomb was ticking?
None of those scenarios reflects well upon you.
Thankfully, you have apologized and promised, albeit without specifics, to provide relief for people who now need to buy insurance despite your blanket promises. That needs to happen yesterday. Your legacy teeters here, Mr. President, Jackie Robinson waiting for the pitch, Neil Armstrong poised above lunar soil. Two words of advice:
Do better.

- Maurizio Marcato is one of Italy's most diverse and creative photographers. His newest project PIN UP celebrates the classic beauty, style and humor found in the Pin Up. Maurizio Marcato gets his inspiration from his love of beauty, nostalgia and freedom that he first felt growing up in northern Italy in the early 1960s in the after math of Second World War.
The American soldiers had brought more than just military might to his country in the years that followed the Second World War. As a young boy Maurizio took a liking to the idealized beauty of the Pin Ups that he saw used in advertising. The American soldiers had brought some of the freedoms of expression that had already taken hold in America to Italy for the first time. It was these early glimpses of the work of Joyce Ballantyne, Al Buell, Edward Runci, and the great Gil Elvergren that left a lasting impression on Maurizio Marcato.
The term Pin Up first appeared in 1941 but the illustrated style goes back into the late 1800s. The original Pin Up artists were all painters and illustrators who employed the camera for only the first step in making their creations. The painter would often photograph a model appearing to be caught in the moment of an unfortunate incident causing skirts and petticoats to be lifted revealing an embarrassing lingerie display.
In Maurizio work the camera captures the moment and in post-production the images are made to appear flawless, stylized and colored in ways that resemble paintings. Each model is chosen with great care to possess a combination of youthful beauty, bright-eyed innocence and then dressed and made up in a vintage style.
Great care is taken to make the scene detailed and styled with objects and props. One theme is displayed here
the pleasurable experience of BEERdrinking.

Build a Tower of Liatris
Liatris buds open from the tip down, so their bright lilac color appears to stream down the length of their stems to give this dramatic design an atmospheric effect. Make several arrangements, of the same or different sizes, for variety.
50 liatris
If you can't find liatris, use monkshood or gentian.
Other Materials
tall black cube vase (16 1/2 inches high)
cellophane or plastic bags
1 block floral foam
craft knife
florist's scissors
How to Arrange
Pack some scrunched-up cellophane or plastic bags inside the vase until it is about two-thirds full.
Trim a soaked block of floral foam so that it fits snugly inside the vase just below the rim.
Trim the liatris stems so they are all about 20–22 inches, or a little longer than the height of the container. Press the stems firmly into the foam in straight lines, placing them as close to each other as possible and working from the front of the vase to the back. Twist the stems slightly as you press them in so that they stand as straight as possible and don't flare out to the sides.
Liatris require very little aftercare once they have been arranged, so just mist the flowers occasionally. The arrangement should last for seven to 10 days if you keep the foam wet.
Lines of Liatris
The liatris should be placed firmly and methodically in straight lines to maintain the strict geometry of this proportion-focused design. Try to get the placement right the first time and not pull them out to rearrange them, or the floral foam will start to disintegrate.

An improvised bouquet of ingredients from the garden or farmer's market makes an evocative centerpiece for a dining table or kitchen table.
Pretty Blooms All in a Row: The Gerbera Line Arrangement
This fun, quirky display will suit a windowsill, hall table or serving table at a children's party. The base can be reused long after the flowers' freshness has faded: simply pull the old blooms out of the floral foam and insert fresh ones.
Succulent Centerpieces
Learn how to create these centerpieces that provide style and color with minimal care.
Calla Lilies: A Tall, Thin Drink of Water
This pared-down display of flowers and foliage will bring a modern look to a hallway, lobby or corner of a room. Consider positioning several of these arrangements in a line, whether of the same or various sizes.

This delicate, mesmerizing design, in which wired orchids appear to flutter like butterfly wings, is an ideal way to display flower heads that are just past their prime.
Picture Perfect: Hyacinths in a Pussy Willow Frame
Show off heavy-headed hyacinth flowers while providing them sweet support. This hyacinth display looks lovely on a kitchen table or coffee table. It should last about three weeks if you mist the hyacinths every other day.

The strong, textural look of these loosely arranged sunflowers give a sense of organic growth, as if they are still growing in a field.
Escape to the Tropics With an Exotic Floral Centerpiece
Sculptural-looking exotic flowers and foliage get a natural update from a wooden box container that is reminiscent of the textural bark of coconut trees. If you prefer clean lines and smooth surfaces, use a glass container instead.

Hydrangeas, with their impressive size, dense shape and multiple petals, are ideal for creating maximum impact with minimal ingredients. They are also one of the few flowers whose petals are coarse enough to tolerate sitting in water.

Monday 30 Mar 2015
By Gareth Harris. Web onlyPublished online: 22 July 2014
Magnus Renfrew is stepping down from his post of director Asia at Art Basel in Hong Kong to join Bonhams in the role of deputy chairman, Asia and director of fine arts, Asia.
The move marks a return to the auction house for Renfrew who was previously a specialist in its contemporary art department, helping to set up its first sale of contemporary Asian art in London in June 2006."Renfrew will be responsible for defining the strategy for Bonhams in Asia relating to the fine arts and will oversee the established departments of classical, Modern and contemporary art in Asia," says a Bonhams' press statement. Renfrew will be based at Bonhams' new saleroom in Hong Kong at One Pacific Place.A spokesman for Art Basel in Hong Kong says: "The Director Asia post will be filled. There will not be a restructure."Renfrew was the founding director of the ArtHK Modern and contemporary fair, which launched in 2008. In 2011, MCH Group (the parent company of Art Basel), bought a 60% stake in Asian Art Fairs, the owner of ArtHK. Renfrew subsequently oversaw the first two editions of Art Basel in Hong Kong in 2013 and 2014.Renfrew is a member of the Exhibition Centre subcommittee for the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority. He is also a member of the advisory council for Para/Site Art Space, a non-profit gallery in Hong Kong.
