text: The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland was established as a sovereign state on 1 January 1801 by the Acts of Union 1800, which merged the kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland. The growing desire for an Irish Republic led to the Irish War of Independence, which resulted in Ireland seceding from the Union and forming the Irish Free State in 1922. Northern Ireland remained part of the United Kingdom, and the state was consequently renamed the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".

text: The Irish Parliamentary Party (IPP; commonly called the Irish Party or the Home Rule Party) was formed in 1874 by Isaac Butt, the leader of the Nationalist Party, replacing the Home Rule League, as official parliamentary party for Irish nationalist Members of Parliament (MPs) elected to the House of Commons at Westminster within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland up until 1918. Its central objectives were legislative independence for Ireland and land reform. Its constitutional movement was instrumental in laying the groundwork for Irish self-government through three Irish Home Rule bills.

text: Northern Ireland (; Ulster Scots: "") is a top-level constituent unit of the United Kingdom in the northeast of Ireland. It is variously described as a country, province, region, or "part" of the United Kingdom, amongst other terms. Northern Ireland shares a border to the south and west with the Republic of Ireland. In 2011, its population was 1,810,863, constituting about 30% of the island's total population and about 3% of the UK's population. Established by the Northern Ireland Act 1998 as part of the Good Friday Agreement, the Northern Ireland Assembly holds responsibility for a range of devolved policy matters, while other areas are reserved for the British government. Northern Ireland co-operates with the Republic of Ireland in some areas, and the Agreement granted the Republic the ability to "put forward views and proposals" with "determined efforts to resolve disagreements between the two governments".

text: The Nationalist Party was the continuation of the Irish Parliamentary Party , and was formed after partition , by the Northern Ireland - based members of the IPP . The Nationalist Party did not enter the House of Commons of Northern Ireland until 1924 , having won six seats in the general election of 1921 . In 1965 , it agreed to become the official opposition party in the House of Commons . On 20 June 1968 , Austin Currie , Nationalist Party MP at Stormont , with others , began a protest about discrimination in housing allocation by ' squatting ' ( illegally occupying ) a house in Caledon , County Tyrone . The house had been allocated by Dungannon Rural District Council to a 19 - year - old unmarried Protestant woman , Emily Beattie , who was the secretary of a local Unionist politician . Emily Beattie was given the house ahead of older married Catholic families with children . The protesters were evicted by officers of the Royal Ulster Constabulary ( RUC ) , one of whom was Emily Beattie 's brother . The next day the annual conference of the Nationalist Party unanimously approved of the protest action by Austin Currie in Caledon . This was one of the catalysts of the civil rights movement in Northern Ireland . The party became involved in the Derry civil rights march in October 1968 , which ended in violence amidst allegations of police brutality . As a result , the party withdrew from its role as official opposition on 15 October 1968 , following the controversy of two weeks earlier . The party developed a reputation for being disorganised and being little more than a collection of elected members with their own local machines . Many calls were made for the party to develop an overall organisation but it fell apart in the late 1960s . Earlier , many members had formed the National Democratic Party ( NDP ) after attempts at reform failed . The NDP merged into the Social Democratic and Labour Party at that party 's foundation in 1970 and many remaining nationalists followed them . One of the Nationalist Party 's last electoral contests was the 1973 election for the Assembly created as part of the Sunningdale Agreement . The lack of success in that election meant that the inevitable outcome was obvious , although a handful of councillors were elected to Omagh District Council and Londonderry City Council in 1973 and 1977 . In October 1977 , the party merged with Unity to form the Irish Independence Party which also included non-aligned republicans . Although it was successful for a while in capturing the Republican vote , it faded from view due to the rise of Sinn Féin in the early 1980s .

text: Mount Nyiragongo is an active stratovolcano with an elevation of in the Virunga Mountains associated with the Albertine Rift. It is located inside Virunga National Park, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, about north of the town of Goma and Lake Kivu and just west of the border with Rwanda. The main crater is about two kilometres wide and usually contains a lava lake. The crater presently has two distinct cooled lava benches within the crater walls - one at about and a lower one at about . Nyiragongo's lava lake has at times been the most voluminous known lava lake in recent history. The depth of the lava lake varies considerably. A maximum elevation of the lava lake was recorded at about prior to the January 1977 eruption - a lake depth of about . A recent very low elevation of the lava lake was recorded at about . Nyiragongo and nearby Nyamuragira are together responsible for 40% of Africa's historical volcanic eruptions.

text: Goma is a city in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is located on the northern shore of Lake Kivu, next to the Rwandan city of Gisenyi. The lake and the two cities are in the Albertine Rift, the western branch of the East African Rift system. Goma lies only 13 to 18 km due south of the crater of the active Nyiragongo Volcano. The recent history of Goma has been dominated by the volcano and the Rwandan Genocide of 1994, which in turn fuelled the First and Second Congo Wars. The aftermath of these events was still having effects on the city and its surroundings in 2010. The city was captured by rebels during the M23 rebellion in late 2012, but has since been retaken by government forces.

In geometry, a parallelepiped is a three-dimensional figure formed by six parallelograms (the term rhomboid is also sometimes used with this meaning). By analogy, it relates to a parallelogram just as a cube relates to a square or as a cuboid to a rectangle. In Euclidean geometry, its definition encompasses all four concepts (i.e., "parallelepiped", "parallelogram", "cube", and "square"). In this context of affine geometry, in which angles are not differentiated, its definition admits only "parallelograms" and "parallelepipeds". Three equivalent definitions of "parallelepiped" are
The rectangular cuboid (six rectangular faces), cube (six square faces), and the rhombohedron (six rhombus faces) are all specific cases of parallelepiped.

text: In Euclidean geometry, a rhombus() (plural rhombi or rhombuses) is a simple (non-self-intersecting) quadrilateral whose four sides all have the same length. Another name is equilateral quadrilateral, since equilateral means that all of its sides are equal in length. The rhombus is often called a diamond, after the diamonds suit in playing cards which resembles the projection of an octahedral diamond, or a lozenge, though the former sometimes refers specifically to a rhombus with a 60° angle (see Polyiamond), and the latter sometimes refers specifically to a rhombus with a 45° angle.

In Euclidean plane geometry, a rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles. It can also be defined as an equiangular quadrilateral, since equiangular means that all of its angles are equal (360°/4 = 90°). It can also be defined as a parallelogram containing a right angle. A rectangle with four sides of equal length is a square. The term oblong is occasionally used to refer to a non-square rectangle.
A rectangle with vertices "ABCD" would be denoted as .

While mathematical literature refers to any such polyhedron as a cuboid, other sources use "cuboid" to refer to a shape of this type in which each of the faces is a rectangle (and so each pair of adjacent faces meets in a right angle); this more restrictive type of cuboid is also known as a rectangular cuboid, right cuboid, rectangular box, rectangular hexahedron, right rectangular prism, or rectangular parallelepiped.
