Could my babies runny nose be due to an allergy?
Q: My 6-month-old baby often has either a runny or a congested nose. Could this be due to an allergy?
A: Contrary to common belief, which blames respiratory allergies for symptoms that are actually caused by lingering colds, allergies are relatively rare in children and even more so in infants. In fact, it takes several years of exposure for a child to develop a reaction to an allergen like pollen.
Nasal symptoms are very noticeable in infants because young babies are lying down most of the time, causing mucus to accumulate in the back of the nose. And even when awake, they don't clear their breathing passages by coughing, sneezing or swallowing, as someone who's older would. Finally, the tininess of a baby's nasal passages ensures that even a little blockage is clearly audible.
One caution: Call your pediatrician if your baby develops fast or difficult breathing or wheezes when she exhales. These can be symptoms of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which can lead to serious infection.

>Lord George G. Byron - HFSID 350486
LORD GEORGE G. BYRON - AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED 07/18/1814 - HFSID 350486
LORD BYRON Rare, signed autograph letter from 1814, to lifelong friend and fellow poet Francis Hodgson, discussing Byron's impending visit. Rare ALS: "Byron", 1 page, 7x9. No place, 1814 July 18.To Mr. Hodgson.
Condition: lightly creased, otherwise fine condition
Rare, signed autograph letter from 1814, to lifelong friend and fellow poet Francis Hodgson, discussing Byron's impending visit.
Rare ALS: "Byron", 1 page, 7x9. No place, 1814 July 18. To Mr. Hodgson. In full: "Tomorrow (Tuesday) or Wednesday at farthest expect in all -- Capt. Byron (whom you know or will know) accompanies us. If there is not convenient room - we can dispose of him at the Hostel. Excuse haste -- in the hope of seeing you&c&c." Handwritten postscript: "P.S. Many thanks for today's epistle. I shall be happy to see you so." LORD GEORGE GORDON BYRON, 6th Baron Byron of Rothdale, wrote this letter to Reverend FRANCIS HODGSON (1781-1852), a poet and scholar whom he had met when he began studying at Trinity College in Cambridge in October 1805. By the time this letter was written, Byron had been lionized in Whig society after the 1812 publication of the first two of his four cantos of Childe Harold's Pilgrimage (1812-1818). The opening lines of the canto had first been written to Hodgson on board a ship bound for Lisbon. In October 1813, Byron, who published his wildly popular The Corsair three months later, had recommended Hodgson, who became a lifelong friend, to translate Lucien Bonaparte's Charlemagne. The poet had also lent money to Hodgson to pay debts that were interfering with Hodgson's marriage to a Miss Tayler. This letter was written shortly before Lord Byron's own short marriage. After proposing marriage for a second time in September 1814, just two months after he wrote this letter (Byron had proposed and been rejected in October 1812), he married Anne Isabella Milbanke, a mathematician and heiress, on January 2, 1815. She gave birth to their daughter that same year. Augusta Ada (later Countess Augusta Ada Byron Lovelace), Byron's only legitimate child, would herself become a mathematician and, with Charles Babbage, wrote the first computer program. The couple's brief, unhappy marriage ended because of rumors that Byron had committed incest with his half-sister, Augusta Leigh. In 1816, Anne returned to her father's home and Lord Byron, after signing a deed of separation from his wife, left England, never to return. CAPTAIN BYRON is likely Captain GEORGE ANSON BYRON, who became the 7th Baron Byron of Rothdale. Lord Byron's father, Captain John Byron, had been known as "Mad Jack" for his wild and immoral ways, which included deserting his family when the future poet was four years of age. Following in his footsteps, Lord Byron's promiscuity during his first years abroad was referenced in the first of his 16 Don Juan cantos (1819-1824). Lightly creased. Folds. Lightly soiled at blank areas. Overall, fine condition. Small hole in matting fabric. Framed by the Gallery of History to an overall size of 30½x22¾.

Stacey Sampson & The Lock In 'Christmas Carol'
The festival season is coming to a close and the nights are drawing in, but there's no sign of hibernation for The Demon Barbers and The Lock In Dance Show!
That's right, we're currently focusing all our efforts on our Dickens inspired The Lock In 'Christmas Carol' in which the land lady of the Olde Fighting Cocks pub, Jazmineezer Scrooge, is threatening to relaunch her much loved folk and hip hop venue as the garish, noisy and unpopular 'Oompah Techno Bar'.
Those of you that have seen the Lock In will know that it's a music and dance show exploring the clash and eventual fusion of traditional and contemporary dance styles. On deciding to make a Christmas version of the show we thought the story should play a much more important role and that the Dickens' classic tale would be perfect for festive family audiences. With that in mind we set out to find a script writer.
We recently made a pilot for our Children's show 'The Sleepover' and spent a day workshopping with Wendy Harris – artistic director of children's theatre company 'Tutti Frutti' and she put us in touch with
writer and actress Stacey Sampson.
Stacey has worked in television and theatre for over fifeteen years. She appeared as Jennifer in the hit TV show 'This Is England' and throughout this time worked as a drama practitioner, leading workshops in many settings including primary schools, libraries, young offender programmes and sheltered housing units. This work often required her to write bespoke scripts for the groups she was working with and eventually
writing became the main focus of her career.
We met up with Stacey and spent the day trading ideas and storyboarding the show. She was keen to get stuck in and after a couple of days we were presented with a wonderfully magical and poetic script.
So we have the story, the cast, the music and the moves. Now it's time to put it all together and create our festive frenzy – The Lock In 'Christmas Carol'
Check us out at a theatre near you!

One of the mistakes I learned growing up was brushing my teeth right before eating breakfast, sitting down, and with a minty mouth, going for the OJ. One sip is all it took to realize something had gone horribly wrong. What are they putting in the toothpaste to make OJ lose its wonderful flavor?
When you brush your teeth, you may notice that the toothpaste starts to foam up in your mouth. This is what its designed to do, and the chemical responsible for the suds is called Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS). While the foaming may not be an issue for most, it does have an unwanted, temporary side effect on your taste buds by decreasing the sensitivity of the 'sweetness' receptors on your tongue. It also destroys phospholipids that usually act to decrease the sensitivity of the bitterness receptors.
This combination tips the once-balanced flavor scale towards the sour/bitter receptors. The result is that when you take a sip of orange juice, less sweetness (and more bitterness) is detected by your tongue, making the taste more bitter overall. Eating and drinking other items with a high acidity will yield the same result.
How widely used is SLS?
You will find SLS in almost all toothpastes, with exceptions being the natural brands like Tom's.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is also used in detergents, soaps and shampoos to produce the same foaming effect, but I don't recommend putting those in your mouth.


President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has ordered the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to chart a path in ending the issue of vigilantism in the country.
The two parties after going back and forth, met on Tuesday, 9th April, 2019 and a communiqué that came forth after the meeting indicated a united front and the willingness to end vigilantism.
But it appears the reality is far from the truth regarding the united front being painted.
Hours after the meeting, the NDC accused the ruling party of not being cooperative in terms of the scope of the discussion. The NPP also fired back condemning their posture.
General Secretary of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, told Okay FM in an interview on Wednesday, that the ruling party is clearly not ready to help disband vigilantism in the country by their demeanor, and should be blamed if the talks fail.
However, National Organiser of the NPP, Sammy Awuku, who was present at the meeting, indicated that but for the posture of the opposition party, he would not have let out what really transpired.
He shockingly disclosed that the NDC 'threatened' to walk out of the meeting on 'three occasions' citing several excuses.
Watch the video below to listen to Sammy Awuku disclosing how the NDC threatened to walk out and the reasons they gave.

Takeda aims to reduce its debt load by tapping synergies from the acquisition.
TOKYO -- Takeda Pharmaceutical aims to restore health to its balance sheet within five years after taking on hefty debt to finance the $58 billion-plus purchase of Ireland's Shire, Takeda's CEO told Nikkei on Nov. 6.
"Of course we are very much aware of the risk, but we concluded that it was an opportunity that we couldn't pass" on, Christophe Weber said of the massive deal that won shareholder approval the day before.
Looking relieved for the first time since announcing the purchase plan in May, Weber cracked a smile while recalling how a proposal to issue new stock to help fund the purchase garnered nearly 90% of the vote at the meeting. Now the company is preparing for a U.S. listing as it plans to turn Shire into a wholly owned subsidiary in January, Weber said.
Takeda's interest-bearing debt will shoot up to five times the company's EBITDA -- earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization -- when it makes the 46 billion pound ($58.7 billion) purchase that uses a mix of newly issued stock and loans. The goal is to bring the ratio back down to around double EBITDA by the year through March 2023, Weber said.
Toward this end, the company is hurrying to strengthen its earning capacity -- starting by expanding in the U.S. market, which Takeda expects to become its top source of income. American operations will be integrated in the Boston area, Weber said. Takeda's marketing hub in Illinois will be closed and its 1,000 employees reassigned near the northeastern city within half a year.
The area around Boston has both a Takeda research center and Shire sales and development facilities, said Weber, who plans to improve efficiency by consolidating U.S. management resources. The company intends to create additional synergies by integrating redundant facilities, such as in Switzerland.
Though risky, the nearly $60 billion purchase of Shire is necessary for Takeda's future, said Christophe Weber, CEO of the Japanese drugmaker.
The Shire purchase was among some "very courageous" decisions to ensure Takeda's success over the next decade, Weber said. Takeda's debt load will surge beyond 5 trillion yen ($44.5 billion), and earnings from Shire's mainstay products could decline. To minimize any adverse effect, Takeda will firm up its financial footing by unloading up to $10 billion in mainly noncore assets.
Weber sees core businesses making up 75% of Takeda's portfolio in the future, and discussions on what assets to sell are still ongoing for the remaining 25%, he said. Product offerings will be streamlined to pick up the pace of debt repayment, the CEO said.
Selling off ophthalmological therapies marketed by Shire has been seen as a possibility. But unloading candidate drugs for inflammatory bowel disease will come first, Weber said. The aim is to shed products that overlap with Takeda's to improve the efficiency of development and sales.
Takeda once boasted a lineup of four blockbuster drugs each generating 100 billion yen or more annually. But since their patents expired, the company's research has failed to yield successors, and earnings have faltered. Weber, brought in to get the company back on its feet, implemented drastic reforms to revive Takeda's R&D. But the results were not immediate, and the company sold off businesses and real estate to eke out profits.
Takeda was drawn to Shire's strength in blood products, which are highly profitable, and their complex manufacturing process makes it difficult for newcomers to enter the market.
With a high market share, Shire is believed to generate about 40% of its net profit from the field.
With corporate Japan's executive compensation practices in the spotlight since the arrest of now-former Nissan Motor Chairman Carlos Ghosn, the highly paid Weber faced shareholder questions on corporate governance at the meeting on Dec. 5. Takeda has "very solid governance" even from a global standpoint, the CEO said.
Eight of Takeda's 12 board members are external directors, and the company plans to add three more outside directors from Shire, bringing the total to 11 out of 15.
Some have lumped Weber in with Ghosn, since both men are French nationals leading Japanese companies. But "I think there is no reason to mix up the two," Weber said of Takeda and Nissan. They are "different situations, different companies" with "no reason to be associated," he argued.
"I'm not a friend of him," Weber said of Ghosn.
"Before I joined Takeda I met him once," while working as an executive at U.K.-based GlaxoSmithKline.
Ghosn, a star executive in the auto industry, presided over the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Motors alliance. Weber said that for his part, "I don't want to become a star. And I don't have a big ego." He described himself as working "very much with a team."


This film depicts a 'typical' working day in the life of a man and woman. The narrative unfolds without the use of dialogue and with a minimum of human presence.
The film is preceded by a leader which reads: "This film has been Specially Commended by Amateur Cine World".
An alarm clock shows seven o'clock. Clothes draped over chairs disappear and are replaced by a nightdress. Scenes of the man in the bathroom are interspersed with scenes of the woman preparing breakfast in the kitchen. The man takes a train to the office while the woman clears the breakfast dishes, washes the clothes, hangs them out on the line then vacuums the house. After a mid-morning break the woman does the shopping. The man goes for lunch at a pub. At home, a pile of ironing awaits, while at the office the man fills out a pools coupon during his tea-break. Ironing finished, the woman begins to prepare dinner. At the office, the Out-Tray full, the man makes his way home where a glass of sherry and his slippers await. Dinner is served followed by a drink and television. A stack of dirty dishes sit in the kitchen sink. The woman sews while the man drinks whiskey. They watch the eleven o'clock news, the man goes to bed and the woman takes the dog for a walk. The woman sits at her dressing table then goes to bed. "The End".
An excellent example of a cine club's creative and innovative approach to (comic) short film-making. Using no dialogue and the minimum of human presence the film cleverly describes both the man and the woman's daily drudge. Stop-frame animation is occasionally used, as are cuts in editing, making objects apparently disappear.
The film received a 'Specially Commended Award' from Amateur Cine World. The magazine's Ten Best Films competition ran for many years, from the magazine's inception in 1934, and was highly regarded amongst amateurs and professionals alike. For several years running a selection of films from the competition were screened to capacity audiences at the National Film Theatre in London. A touring programme of the competition films would travel the country, being screened at local cine clubs and societies.
Screen Archive South East houses several other films made by Sevenoaks Cine Society. Amongst these are Sevenoaks Scrapbook (1937 - 1946?) which records events in Sevenoaks during the Second World War, Country Magazine (1959) which follows a couple touring the buildings and countryside of Kent, and [Social Functions And Days Out, Sevenoaks Cine Society] ([ca. 1937]; [1949?]; 1950 - 1951) which shows members of the Cine Society socialising with each other. Screen Archive South East also holds films associated other amateur film societies including the fictional films Mrs Newlywed's First Dinner (1940) which was made by a member of the Ashford Association Film Society, and Bang On (1954) which was made by the Tunbridge Wells Amateur Film Unit.
The BFI houses a selection of periodicals relating to amateur film-making, including Amateur Cine World and Home Movies & Home Talkies. The magazines contain many references to cine clubs and societies nationwide.
Articles from Amateur Cine World on the Ten Best Films competition, 1956 and 1957.


Like any profession, the legal profession has good eggs and bad apples. (Hope everyone's had breakfast.) Take this incredible New York Times article today, "Failed by Law and Courts, Troops Come Home to Repossessions," about a disgraceful practice by financial institutions. They target service members for repossessions and foreclosures – and eliminate their rights to sue - despite attempts by Congress for literally centuries to prevent this.
Efforts to maintain … special status for service members has run into resistance from the financial industry, including many of the same banks that promote the work they do for veterans. While using mandatory arbitration, some companies repeatedly violate the federal protections, leaving troops and their families vulnerable to predatory lending, the military lawyers and government officials say.
"While we remain very supportive of the troops, we see no empirical or other evidence that service members are being harmed by or require relief from arbitration clauses," Kevin Carroll, a managing director and associate general counsel at Sifma, said in a statement.
Consider, for example. GM's outside counsel, King & Spalding. This firm helped defend GM during product liability litigation over the faulty ignition switches, viciously fighting families who sued the company and winning the company immunity for injuries and deaths caused by its pre-2009 crashes (including those involving cars with faulty ignition switches). GM didn't fire King & Spalding when the cover-up scandal hit. Instead, it put the firm in charge (along with GM's other outside law firm, Jenner & Block and the firm's Chairman, Anton R. Valukas) of its internal investigation into the ignition switch disaster, deciding what, if anything, the company - including its lawyers - did wrong. The report found no cover-up. Fifteen company engineers and lawyers were blamed and fired. All senior management, including Michael P. Millikin, the company's general counsel, were exonerated. And King & Spalding, whose corporate lawyers sat beside at least one of those engineers as he lied during depositions, emerged unscathed.
The alleged cover-up reached a "high level," according to Jere Beasley, and went well beyond the 15 former GM lawyers and other employees who were dismissed last year in the scandal. Beasley is founder of the Montgomery, Alabama, law firm Beasley, Allen, Crow, Methvin, Portis & Miles.
Beasley and attorney Lance Cooper, of the Cooper Firm in Marietta, Georgia, spoke at a news conference Monday ostensibly to discuss the settlement last week of the Ken and Beth Melton case against GM. The Meltons' daughter, Brooke, died in an accident caused by one of the switches. Terms of the settlement are confidential.
But Cooper used the occasion to also talk about state and federal cases against GM that are still ongoing, especially a big multidistrict litigation that is tentatively scheduled for trial in January. He said he believed the Melton documents would be used and made public during the other trials.
Cooper said if it hadn't been for the Melton case, which uncovered that a faulty spring in the ignition switch had been secretly replaced in new units, without GM ever doing a recall on the old ones, the company might have kept secretly settling lawsuits over crashes.
But the Meltons fought to uncover the truth, he said, and GM had to admit its culpability before Congress, conduct millions of recalls and change its safety culture.
I think it's pretty clear who's on the right side of this issue. Trial lawyers generally are - yet it's hard to find a profession so full of "good eggs" that is more nonsensically maligned. Who remembers that this profession joined together after 9/11 to provide free legal help to more than 1,000 victim families deserving of compensation? Do you know about the Los Angeles Trial Lawyers' Charities, which gives grants focusing on "issues related to education, children, battered women, and homelessness"? If you don't, you should.
In addition to polluting juries and legislatively taking power away from them so that injured people lose more and more perfectly legitimate claims, the "tort reform" movement is also about making additional, in many ways impossible, demands on their lawyers. Corporate lawyers charge more per hour than many wrongly-injured people make in benefits in two weeks. Trial lawyers try to help these people. Good eggs.
I had hoped in reading the title to this article to find out where an attorney could volunteer to help troops who were under the threat of repossession. Does anyone know who to contact on this?

La Tranclière est une commune française du département de l'Ain, en région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Elle appartient au canton de Pont-d'Ain et de l'aire d'attraction de Bourg-en-Bresse dont elle profite de la croissance actuelle.

Commune essentiellement agricole, ce village « discret », d'après Gérald Lévy et Joseph Rousset, est peu peuplé (288 personnes en 2019). Ses habitants s'appellent les Tranclériens et Tranclériennes.

Géographie
Le village de La Tranclière se situe douze kilomètres au sud de la préfecture Bourg-en-Bresse et dix kilomètres au nord-ouest de Pont-d'Ain, dans la Bresse.

Communes limitrophes

Géologie et relief
La commune est située globalement sur deux niveaux : le plateau des Dombes et la plaine de la Bresse, à plus de 20 mètres d'altitude en dessous. La grande majorité du sol est essentiellement formée d'alluvions glaciaires, hormis le fond de la vallée de la Leschère constitué, lui, de sables et d'argiles de Bresse avec un affleurement de cailloutis. Au , la commune comportait 25 étangs, dont la plupart sont aujourd'hui asséchés et boisés.

Urbanisme

Typologie
La Tranclière est une commune rurale. Elle fait en effet partie des communes peu ou très peu denses, au sens de la grille communale de densité de l'Insee.

Par ailleurs, la commune fait partie de l'aire d'attraction de Bourg-en-Bresse, dont elle est une commune de la couronne. Cette aire, qui regroupe , est catégorisée dans les aires de  à moins de .

Occupation des sols

L'occupation des sols de la commune, telle qu'elle ressort de la base de données européenne d'occupation biophysique des sols Corine Land Cover (CLC), est marquée par l'importance des forêts et milieux semi-naturels (49,8 % en 2018), une proportion identique à celle de 1990 (49,8 %). La répartition détaillée en 2018 est la suivante :
forêts (49,8 %), terres arables (29,7 %), prairies (10,1 %), zones agricoles hétérogènes (9,1 %), eaux continentales (1,2 %).

L'IGN met par ailleurs à disposition un outil en ligne permettant de comparer l'évolution dans le temps de l'occupation des sols de la commune (ou de territoires à des échelles différentes). Plusieurs époques sont accessibles sous forme de cartes ou photos aériennes : la carte de Cassini (), la carte d'état-major (1820-1866) et la période actuelle (1950 à aujourd'hui).

Voies de communication et transports

L'aérodrome de Bourg-Pont d'Ain
Le hameau de Donsonnas héberge en 1959 sur un terrain prêté par Maurice Curnillon l'aérodrome de Bourg-Pont d'Ain utilisé par l'aéro-club de Bourg-en-Bresse. L'aérodrome est utilisé pour la formation des élèves pilotes et sera arrêté en 1978 à cause de la mise en service de l'aérodrome de Bourg-Teyssonge. La piste fait 590 mètres de longueur et est engazonnée.

En 1990, Roland Curnillon dépose une demande pour la réouverture à titre privé de l'aérodrome qui sera effective en 1991. Il est réservé aux avions et ULM déclarés en Préfecture.

Toponymie
Le nom de La Tranclière apparaît sous la forme « Trancleria » en 1325. Il est soit d'origine latine d'après le nom de personne « Tranquillus » ou plus probablement germanique d'après le nom « Tranculf », nom du premier propriétaire du lieu, avec le suffixe -aria. L'ajout d'un son // après le groupe consonantique « cl » est typique du francoprovençal de la Bresse.

Le village puis hameau de Prin est trouvé en 1150 orthographié « Prings » dans la charte de Cluny (t. V, n°4143), « Prins » en 1285 puis « Prenx » en 1587. On le trouve encore aujourd'hui sous la variante Prins. C'est un nom d'origine burgonde qui rappelle la notation Brengs (Brens) qui se retrouve dans Brans (Jura) et Bereins (Ain). La forme primitive est Beringos qui signifie « chez les Beringi » et est construite à partir du nom propre « Bera ».

Histoire

Antiquité et Moyen Âge
Les plus anciennes trace d'habitations du territoire ont été trouvées lors des fouilles de 1927 à l'emplacement de l'ancienne église du hameau de Prin. Des sépultures ainsi que du mobilier funéraire important donné comme préhistoriques, constitué notamment de haches et de bracelets, ont été trouvé et légué par l'inventeur de la fouille au Musée de Saint-Germain-en-Laye.

En 1984, les travaux de l'Autoroute A40 ont mis au jour au lieu-dit en Gouty, près de la Leschère, trois fours gallo-romain du milieu du premier siècle de notre ère. Ces fours à céramiques sont la preuve que la commune est habitée depuis au moins cette période.

À la fin du , la paroisse de la Tranclière, à l'instar des paroisses environnantes, appartenait à Barnard, fondateur de l'abbaye d'Ambronay, auquel il la rattacha à sa fondation. Les moines de cette dernière établirent alors un doyenné rural pour y développer la paroisse.

Dès le , la Tranclière est un petit village actif sur un territoire où l'on trouve aussi celui de Prins, cité dès cette époque. La gestion fut alors du fait des moines qui y assurèrent un service d'église et bénéficiaient des libéralités de Girard de la Palud en 1299. À cette époque, la paroisse n'était pas établie comme un fief et dépendait, sur un plan féodal, de la seigneurie de Varambon. En 1493, Anthelme de la Balme, doyen de la Tranclière, déclare la paroisse appartenant aux seigneurs de Vertriac.

Renaissance et Révolution française

Un trésor de plus de 300 deniers de Savoie de 1550 a été enterré avec précaution au hameau de Donsonnas, il est peut-être un marqueur du passage de Francois 1er dans la région et notamment de l'occupation de Bourg-en-Bresse entre 1536 et sa reprise en 1559.

Durant le rattachement de la Bresse à la France, la paroisse fut prise dans les troubles de la région et la population subit la cruauté des troupes françaises. De la fin de l'année 1595 à l'année 1601, les combats et les déplacements de troupes qui secouèrent la région ont beaucoup affecté les deux villages. Au nom d'Henri IV, Charles de Gontaut-Biron prit le marquisat de Varambon et sema la ruine et la désolation sur son passage. La population comptée en 1603 par Christophe de Rye montre qu'il y reste très peu de personnes : 6 ménages sur La Tranclière et 3 sur Prins, alors paroisse indépendante. Ce qui donne par extrapolation entre 40 et 45 personnes pour 9 feux fiscaux.

Le village de Prin ne se remettra pas de ces dégâts. En octobre 1654, l'archevêque de Lyon décide de l'unir à la paroisse de Dompierre-sur-Veyle, mais il sera finalement rattaché à La Tranclière. Néanmoins, les contributions des terres seront encore comptées indépendamment jusqu'à la Révolution et ce n'est qu'à ce moment-là qu'il sera totalement incorporé à la nouvelle commune. Le maire de cette dernière ne se fait d'ailleurs pas très bien voir par les autorités révolutionnaires et fait l'objet d'une dénonciation par les habitants de Dompierre parce qu'il refuse d'abattre une croix dans la commune ainsi que de délivrer des certificats de civisme à des « citoyens patriotes ».

Époque contemporaine
Au début du , la commune est décrite comme étant très pauvre par le chanoine Martin, biographe de Jean-Marie-Sauveur Gorini, mais son propos est très exagéré et avait surtout pour but l'hagiographie de son sujet. En effet, la commune prend part à de nombreux travaux d'aménagement du territoire avec ses voisines, comme la route… et est pionnière sur l'agriculture régionale grâce à l'usage du chaulage agricole par ses agriculteurs et agricultrices, notamment un certain Convert.

Alors qu'auparavant la paroisse de Certines dépendait de celle de la Tranclière, l'église du bourg fut « créée en chapelle » en 1818 au profit de Certines, mais les habitants et habitantes refusèrent de se joindre à la paroisse de Certines à cause de l'état impraticable des chemins en hiver. Il fut demandé en 1841 au gouvernement l'érection en succursale de la paroisse qui n'était qu'une chapelle vicariale, cette demande fut acceptée en 1845.

Prin
Le hameau de Prin, aussi orthographié Prins, a été une paroisse indépendante jusqu'au milieu du . On la trouve citée en 1132 en tant que possession de l'abbaye de Cluny qui y avait installé un prieuré. L'église ne semble pas avoir été très utilisée puisqu'en 1654 la visite pastorale la déclare comme étant presque vide avec une décoration très pauvre, le bâtiment dans un état déplorable et abandonné. Cette visite sonna la fin de la paroisse en tant que telle et son rattachement à la Tranclière bien qu'originellement le document de l'archevêché de Lyon la rattache à la cure de Dompierre. Cette église ne survécut pas à la Révolution qui la vendit comme bien national en 1791 à un certain Gabriel Courtois de Pont-d'Ain qui l'utilisa vraisemblablement comme carrière.

La Cochère
Anciennement orthographié La Coucheyra, La Cochure ou La Cossière, le hameau est à l'origine un « membre » de la commanderie des Feuillets des chevaliers de Saint-Jean de Jérusalem, dont on atteste la possession depuis le milieu du XIIIe siècle. À cette époque, ce n'était vraisemblablement qu'une grange que les hospitaliers occupaient et dont on trouve confirmation auprès d'Albert de la Tour, seigneur de Coligny, dans des actes de 1250 et 1267. Plusieurs sources indiquent que la chapelle dédiée à sainte Catherine fut construite au  sans qu'on puisse en attester la véracité. Un acte de 1670 indique qu'elle était bien tenue et dans un excellent état et que le chapelain, nommé par le commandeur des Feuillets et habituellement un chanoine de Varambon, y était tenu d'y célébrer trois ou quatre messes par an. Au , cependant, il ne restait plus qu'elle en guise de hameau. Elle ne fut plus entretenue à une date indéterminée mais postérieure puisqu'aujourd'hui il ne reste d'elle que des ruines des murs de fondation derrière une ferme.

Donsonnas
Le hameau est mentionné dans une charte de 1267 et dépendait de la seigneurie de Varambon. Il est mentionné dans un acte de 1624 que seulement une partie était soumise à la taille et que l'autre était franche. D'une importance équivalente à celui du bourg, il est situé dans la partie basse de la commune. En 1959 et jusqu'en 1978, l'aérodrome de Bourg-Pont d'Ain sera mis en service au lieu-dit des Grands-Champs. Il rouvrira en 1991 à titre privé et est encore en fonctionnement aujourd'hui.

Politique et administration

Découpage territorial
La commune de Tranclière est membre de la communauté d'agglomération du Bassin de Bourg-en-Bresse, un établissement public de coopération intercommunale (EPCI) à fiscalité propre créé le  dont le siège est à Bourg-en-Bresse. Ce dernier est par ailleurs membre d'autres groupements intercommunaux.

Sur le plan administratif, elle est rattachée à l'arrondissement de Bourg-en-Bresse, au département de l'Ain et à la région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Sur le plan électoral, elle dépend du  canton de Ceyzériat pour l'élection des conseillers départementaux, depuis le redécoupage cantonal de 2014 entré en vigueur en 2015, et de la première circonscription de l'Ain  pour les élections législatives, depuis le dernier découpage électoral de 2010.

Administration municipale

Démographie

Les données démographiques antérieures à 1793, année du premier recensement en France, sont mal connues. Cependant des documents datant du Moyen Âge de comptage de la population existent. Pour les paroisses de La Tranclière et Prin, un décompte des feux a été effectué. Une date de recensement des feux est connue : 9 feux (6 pour La Tranclière et 3 pour Prin) en 1603. Cette population correspond à une estimation entre 40 et 45 personnes, selon la méthode de calcul d'extrapolation du feu fiscal.

Économie
La commune a de tout temps été essentiellement agricole et l'est encore toujours aujourd'hui.

En 1932, la beurrerie La Tranclière - Certines - Dompierre est fondée par Jean-Claude Barbet et Jean Poncet qui en sera le premier président. Cette dernière gagne la médaille d'or en 1937 pour son « beurre de Bresse ». En 1960, un nommé Vacle lance la fabrication de « L'Étoile du Revermont », une marque toujours en production aujourd'hui. En 1974, la beurrerie fermera. En 2021, il y a une beurrerie coopérative partagée avec la commune de Certines.

Culture et patrimoine

Lieux et monuments

 Églises :
 Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste.
 Ruines de la chapelle Sainte-Catherine : elle date du , encore en état au , il ne restait plus qu'elle au  dans le hameau de La Cochère. Un description fut faite en 1670 : « un petit clocher tout neuf, monté sur bois, couvert de thuilles à crochet dans lequel il y a une cloche pesant environ douze livres… la dite chapelle toutte platellée et en bonne estat, avec un benestier de pierre de taille ».
 L'église de Prin ou église de la Madeleine : Attestée dès 1132, elle est un prieuré dépendant de l'abbaye de Cluny. La visite pastorale de 1654 la trouve en mauvais état : . À la suite de cela les paroissiens la refont à neuf. Mais en 1753, des nouveaux travaux sont envisagés mais les Tranclériens et Tranclériennes refusèrent de financer les frais. Sans travaux et sans entretien, elle s'effondra en 1772. Le 9 avril 1791, en ruine, elle fut vendue comme bien national à un certain Gabriel Cortois de Pont-d'Ain. Son mobilier a néanmoins été conservé puisqu'au , un certain Monsieur de la Bastie le récupère dans les ruines de l'église et le transporte à l'église de Dompierre-sur-Veyle.
 Croix :
 La Croix de Prin : C'est une croix dont il reste seulement le fût sur son socle de pierre. Il est possible que le dessus ait été détruit par des membres comité de surveillance de la Révolution situé à Dompierre-sur-Veyle. Elle a apparemment été remise en place sans le haut en 1832. On peut y lire l'inscription : .
 La Croix du cimetière : C'est une croix en pierre qui a été mise construite et mise en place en 1905. Elle comporte l'inscription : .
 La croix du lieu-dit « La Croix » : Datée de 1803, elle est en pierre et ne semble pas porter de nom mais le donne au hameau où elle est située. Elle n'a que sa date d'érection en inscription : .
 La Croix de Donsonnas : Datée de 1804, elle est en pierre.
 La Croix de l'ancien cimetière : En fer sur une base en pierre, elle est située à l'emplacement de l'ancien cimetière à côté de l'église Saint-Jean-Baptiste. Elle marque l'emplacement de ce dernier.

 Édifices publics :
 La Mairie - École : c'est en 1817 que l'on rencontre les premières évocations d'un besoin d'une école dans la commune. En 1838, la commune achète la maison de J. Cl. Pernet située au nord de la place pour y mettre l'école et le mobilier de la mairie. Mais en 1875, l'état de « misère » du bâtiment surtout basé sur le fait qu'il y a 75 élèves en hiver pour une salle de classe de 38m² inspire une demande du conseil communal au préfet afin de changer la situation. Après de « nombreuses vicissitudes », un nouveau bâtiment est construit et livré en 1881, et s'y installe l'école et la mairie. M. Chossat de Monburon, un propriétaire de la commune, fait don de la bibliothèque qui y est installée. En 1913, y est adjoint un préau. Une nouvelle classe a été construite depuis à la suite du regroupement pédagogique avec l'école de Certines. La mairie s'installe à la fin du  dans la beurrerie de l'autre côté de la place.
 Le Presbytère : il a existé un presbytère ancien dont on a trace dans une lettre du sieur Belvey, noble de Bourg-en-Bresse, datée du 6 juin 1763. La commune fait l'acquisition d'un bâtiment en 1830 pour servir de presbytère, mais les travaux durèrent très longtemps au point qu'en 1866, le préfet intervient et qu'il fallut attendre 1878 pour réceptionner le bâtiment terminé. Après avoir longuement servi, il est réaménagé pour contenir deux logements et la cantine scolaire.
 Le puits de la place du village : en pierre, il n'est plus utilisé et sert de décoration.
 Cimetière : il se trouve au lieu-dit « Le Violet ». Le terrain est un regroupement de parcelles venant de Monsieur Buard et Claude Curnillon, afin d'être rectangulaire. L'ancien emplacement se trouvait à côté de l'église Saint-Jean-Baptiste mais il était devenu trop petit et trop près des maisons à la fin du . En 1901, fut prise la décision de le déplacer à sa situation actuelle. Déplacement terminé en 1949 avec la désaffectation du lieu et la mise en place d'une croix en mémoire de celles et ceux qui y ont été inhumés.
 Monument aux morts : Constitué d'un bloc de pierre en forme de pyramide tronquée, une forme courante, il est inauguré le  et se trouve sur la place du village.

 Édifices privés :
 Ferme de la Grange Blanche : Autrefois propriété de la famille Chossat de Monburon, elle dispose encore d'escaliers et de balcons en bois avec des traces de peintures visibles au premier étage, qui devait servir de logement. La ferme conserve également un puits recouvert d'une dalle en pierre encore en fonctionnement.
 Beurrerie La Tranclière - Certines - Dompierre : Fondée en 1932 par J. Cl. Barbet et Jean Poncet, elle participera à la renommée du Beurre de bresse et gagna même une médaille d'or en 1937. En 1960, M. Vacle y lance le fromage « L'étoile du Rervermont », toujours produit aujourd'hui. La beurrerie fermera en 1974. Elle abrite aujourd'hui la mairie.
 Puits : Sur le territoire de la commune se trouvent encore 17 puits privés.
 Fours : Il y a 4 fours qui sont encore en état sur le territoire de la commune, ils fonctionnent encore de manière ponctuelle.
 Lieux archéologiques :
 L'officine de potier gallo-romain : En 1984, lors des travaux de l'autoroute A40 entre Mâcon et Pont-d'Ain, a été mis au jour au lieu-dit en Gouty, aux abords immédiat du tracé, des vestiges d'un atelier de céramiques. Les trois fours, dont un de forme circulaire et deux en couloir, ont été dégagé par Georges Vicherd et son équipe. Datés du milieu du premier siècle de notre ère, ils servaient à produire des vases en céramique claire, des amphores et des cruches à partir de l'argile locale. Le mobilier trouvé, des éléments de vase mal cuits, une meule et un outil rongé par la rouille, a été déposé au Musée de Brou. Cet atelier a vraisemblablement eu une durée de vie assez courte mais avec une grosse production, comparable à celui d'Aoste en Isère, en fonctionnement à la même période. L'emplacement de l'officine est dicté par la proximité de la Leschère pour l'eau et l'argile et des bois environnants pour l'alimentation des fours.

Fêtes
Autrefois était fêté le tracassin. Une fête dont le prétexte était un remariage d'un veuf ou d'une veuve. Un défilé était organisé à l'occasion sous les fenêtres de la personne concernée avant son mariage avec pour objectif de faire du bruit en tapant sur des casseroles, des vieux bidons et autres accessoires. Le défilé s'arrêtait jusqu'à ce que la personne offre à boire.

Personnalités liées à la commune
 Eugénie Brazier (1895-1977) : célèbre grande cheffe cuisinière française (2 fois trois étoiles au Guide Michelin pour ses deux restaurants de Lyon et du col de la Luère à Pollionnay) de 1933 à 1968, est née dans la commune.
 Jean-Marie-Sauveur Gorini (1803-1859) : prêtre catholique, théologien et historien français, connu pour ses ouvrages régulièrement réédités, a exercé dans la commune de 1829 à 1847 et y a écrit son ouvrage le plus important Défense de l'Église. Il faisait l'aller-retour chaque semaine à Bourg-en-Bresse pour sa documentation et vivait dans une cure en mauvais état.
 Edgar Quinet (1803-1875) : écrivain et historien, a habité la commune enfant et la cite et la décrit dans son œuvre Merlin l'Enchanteur.

The dry-extract system for (near) infrared (DESIR) technique was implemented using reflectance near-infrared spec-troscopy in context of detection of contact pesticide residues on fruit. Based on chemical structure, spectra features and regression statistics for PLSR models, a product containing metiram and pyraclostrobin was chosen from six pesticides for further consideration. Regression models based on spectra of dry extracts of aqueous solutions and either acetone or water washes of contaminated fruit were encouraging (RMSECV of approximately 0.03 - 0.06 mg a.i.). This level of analytical performance would support the use of the technique as a rapid screening tool, with suspect samples then subject to the reference GC-MS analysis method. However, the PLSR model performance was poor across populations of fruit, suggesting that matrix changes in the solvent wash between sets of fruit is problematic. Further work is required to establish whether sufficient variation can be built into a calibration set to overcome this issue, without degrading model performance to the point where it loses practical application.
