Volcanic plug
A volcanic plug is a landform created when volcanic magma hardens inside a vent on an active volcano. They are sometimes called volcanic necks or "puys". The plug is revealed when surrounding land is eroded.
As it forms, a plug may cause an extreme build-up of pressure if gas-charged magma is trapped beneath it. This sometimes leads to an explosive eruption. But if the explosion does not occur, then the volcano becomes a solid block made of hard material.
The plug is usually harder than the surrounding rock. Glacial erosion can lead to exposure of the plug on one side, while a long slope of material remains on the lee side. Such landforms are called crag and tail. If a plug is preserved, erosion may remove the surrounding rock while the erosion-resistant plug remains. This is what produces the distinctive upstanding landform.
Left–right politics
Political parties are often described as being either left-wing, right-wing, or center.
Left-wing parties are more socialist based, so they will tax more, but they offer more government services, such as cheaper or free education, and health. An example of a centre-left-wing country would be Norway. The maximum individual tax rate in Norway is 47.8% the minimum being 36%, but the government provides free education, health care, unemployment benefits, and pension benefits, to name a few.
Right-wing parties are more corporately based, and allow businesses to have more freedom from government control. They also expect a higher level of self-provision by people. Right-wing parties also try to reduce the level of government control over society and community. Businesses can get tax breaks, loosened tax rules, and the government also loosens up labor laws, making it easier for businesses to hire and fire people.

List of compositions by Frédéric Chopin by genre
Most of Frédéric Chopin's compositions were for solo piano. He also composed piano concertos (his concertos No. 1 and No. 2 are two of the romantic piano concerto repertoire's most often-performed pieces) as well as some other music for ensembles.
This listing uses the traditional opus numbers where they apply; other works are listed by number from the catalogues of Maurice J. E. Brown (B), Krystyna Kobylańska (KK), and Józef Michał Chomiński (A, C, D, E, P, S).
Fanciful nicknames have been given to most of Chopin's Études from time to time, although Chopin himself never used nicknames for these pieces, and none are authentic. Only about three such nicknames are widely used: Op. 10, No. 5 "Black Keys"; Op. 10, No. 12 "Revolutionary"; and Op. 25, No. 11 "Winter Wind". A number of occasionally suggested nicknames are shown below.
