Magnetic Monopole

Since my first undergrad Electrodynamics class back in 2002, I have been fascinated with the idea of the  magnetic monopole . If it can be predicted by so many theories but not yet measured, we cannot assume it is not there. I would like to be alive to see one captured by someone :) I am sure it will explain so many things!

How to embed font on PDF for IEEE paper submission on your Mac

Just learned this... So will copied as is from the source ( here ) I just learned something remarkable, and I have to write it down so I don't forget: Often IEEE conferences will require you to submit a PDF with embedded fonts. If you're forced to do this, no doubt you're familiar with a hugely irritating fact about most LaTeX packages: they don't embed fonts by default. There are workarounds, like the ps2pdf command line parameters that force font embedding, but using them can be awkward (e.g., if your LaTeX target isn't postscript, or if you're using a GUI LaTeX editor). But if you're a Mac user, like me, here's all you have to do: Open the PDF in Preview, and then save it again. It's saved with fonts embedded. That's it, seriously! Awesome, right?
