Act for the additional representation of barons
An Act for the additional representation of barons was legislation passed by the Parliament of Scotland in 1704.

The recent increase in creations of nobles in the Peerage of Scotland had reduced the influence of the barons and freeholders in the unicameral Parliament. To counter this, it was enacted that the numbers of commissioners for the shires of Edinburgh, Haddington, Berwick, Roxburgh, Lanark, Dumfries, Ayr, Perth, Aberdeen, Fife and Forfar, "being the most considerable shires of the kingdom", should be increased by one each, and that "for ever hereafter when a nobleman shall be created a baron shall be added to the representation of the shires".

Lanarkshire (Parliament of Scotland constituency)
Before the Acts of Union 1707, the barons of the shire of Lanark elected commissioners to represent them in the unicameral Parliament of Scotland and in the Convention of the Estates. The number of commissioners was increased from two to four in 1690.

From 1708 Lanarkshire was represented by one Member of Parliament in the House of Commons of Great Britain.

Dan Poncet
Dan Poncet is a contemporary French painter.

Born on 14 July 1953 at the château de Saint-Just in Ain department, France. She graduated in 1972 from the École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Lyon and thereafter from the École nationale des beaux-arts de Lyon.

Her first paintings show an influence of impressionism and of fauvism. After 1975 she returned to realism and to old techniques used in 17th-century paintings, such as  glaze, pâtes or demi-pâtes.

After meeting rosarian Jean Pierre Guillot in 1997, she also produced a series of  paintings with subjects related to roses such as "Cueillette dans le Jardin de Roses". Guillot named a rose cultivar "Dan Poncet".

Glaze (painting technique)
A glaze is a thin transparent or semi-transparent layer on a painting which modifies the appearance of the underlying paint layer. Glazes can change the chroma, value, hue and texture of a surface. Glazes consist of a great amount of binding medium in relation to a very small amount of pigment. Drying time will depend on the amount and type of paint medium used in the glaze. The medium, base, or vehicle is the mixture to which the dry pigment is added. Different media can increase or decrease the rate at which oil paints dry.

Often, because a paint is too opaque, painters will add a medium like linseed oil or alkyd to the paint to make them more transparent and pliable for the purposes of glazing. While these media are usually liquids, there are solid and semi-solid media used in the making of paints as well. For example, many classical oil painters have also been known to use ground glass and semi-solid resins to increase the translucency of their paint.
