  Henry Flood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henry Flood (1732 - December 2, 1791), Irish statesman, son of Warden Flood, chief justice of the kings bench in Ireland, was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, and afterwards at Christ Church, Oxford, where he became proficient in the classics.
But though Flood had lost control of the movement for independence of the Irish parliament, the agitation, backed as it now was by the Volunteer Convention and by increasing signs of popular disaffection, led at last in 1782 to the concession of the demand, together with a number of other important reforms.
Flood's view prevailed for a Renunciation Act such as he advocated was ungrudgingly passed by the English parliament in 1783 and for a time he regained popularity at the expense of his rival.

 Henry Grattan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henry Grattan (July 3, 1746 - June 6, 1820) was a member of the Irish House of Commons and a campaigner for legislative freedom for the Irish Parliament in the late 18th century.
By virtue of Poyning's Law, a celebrated statute of King Henry VII of England, all proposed Irish legislation had to be submitted to the privy council for its approval under the great seal of England before being passed by the Irish parliament.
He was as anxious as Flood had been to retain the legislative power in the hands of men of property, for he had through the whole of his life a strong conviction that while Ireland could best be governed by Irish hands, democracy in Ireland would inevitably turn to plunder and anarchy.

Henry Flood was born in 1732, the illegitimate son of Warden Flood, the Anglo-Irish chief justice of the King's Bench in Ireland.
Henry Flood entered the Irish Parliament in 1759 as a placeman of the Ponsonby family (the Earls of Bessborough).

Flood served (1783-90) in both the English and the Irish House of Commons, but he never regained his leadership of the Irish nationalists.

Even if the Flood could have achieved such results in one place, it could not possibly have done so all over the world.  The average thickness of fossil-bearing rock throughout the world is about a mile.
How floating shells could be effectively sorted by their hydrodynamic properties I do not know, but the predictions of a hydrodynamic sorting model are blatantly inconsistent with everything about the distribution of shelled cephalopods and other fossils...     The fossil succession of ammonoids having distinctive shell sutures is clear in the first appearance of each group...
Even more paradoxically, for Flood geologists, is the fact that the juvenile (young) specimens, only a few centimeters in size and with much thinner shells, co-occur with the large, thick-shelled mature specimens of the same species.

Henry Flood (1732-91) is generally twinned with Henry Grattan in most accounts of 18th-century Irish history, but he possesses a strong claim to be remembered in his own right.
In an age of towering orators, Flood was one of the best, and he used his fabled oratorical prowess and acute political skills to extend both the agenda and the appeal of patriotism and he seemed destined for popular immortality until he accepted political office.
Most accounts of this difficult phase in Flood's career err in their analysis of why he failed to prosper in office.

William Henry Langhorne sued his homeowners insurer, Fireman’s Fund Insurance Co., in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida, alleging breach of contract for insurance coverage for the insurer’s alleged failure to pay his claim for damages sustained to his home and outbuilding as a result of Hurricane Ivan.
Langhorne claims that he is due, and that Fireman’s Fund has failed to pay by the deadline set by state authorities for settling Hurricane Ivan claims, the policy limits for the dwelling under the extended replacement cost coverage (ERCC) endorsement and for the outbuilding under the policy’s underlying coverage.
The parties disagree as to whether the destruction of the outbuilding was caused by wind and, thus, covered under the policy or by flood and, thus, not covered.

Henry Morris goes to great lengths to explain away the annual nature of the deposits, trying to show that the layers result from cyclic precipitation of chemicals (Liesegang rings), shallow turbidity currents (six million in one year!), or other implausible mechanisms.
