	magnetism: Magnetic Poles, Forces, and Fields
		Every magnet has two points, or poles, where most of its strength is concentrated; these are designated as a north-seeking pole, or north pole, and a south-seeking pole, or south pole, because a suspended magnet tends to orient itself along a north-south line.
		One remarkable property of magnets is that whenever a magnet is broken, a north pole will appear at one of the broken faces and a south pole at the other, such that each piece has its own north and south poles.
		Thus, the lines converge near the poles, where the field is strong, and spread out as their distance from the poles increases.

		In general, totem poles (like Coats of Arms and Great Seals) mean: "This is who we are; these carvings symbolically show what we stand for." Additionally, Natives felt they had special rights to claim a link to the super-human beings they depicted on their poles.
		Totem poles are carved, not by one carver, but by a chief carver and a number of apprentices.
		Many poles (but certainly not all of them!) are topped off with Thunderbird, sort of a generic capper figure, something like a Christmas star, who often has far less meaning than all the carefully thought out symbolic creatures carved into the lower regions.

	Weaving Poles
		The basic unit of weaving is two poles, so to start our dog we have to shape the behaviour of weaving through two poles.
		hen your dog is fluent with this weave behaviour, and the poles are a "cue" to weave, the nest step is to condition your verbal cue "weave" as a conditioned reinforcer by giving the cue followed by C/T a number of times.
		The cue "weave" then becomes the conditioned reinforcer for the first weave behaviour (poles 1 and 2), and the 'cue' for the second weave behaviour (poles 3 and 4), thus linking the two weaving behaviours together.
