War: the socialist attitude by Gwynn Thomas
by Gwynn Thomas
The Socialist Standard
Since our formation in 1904 our response to the problem of war has clearly distinguished us from other organisations claiming descent from Marx and Engels and the early socialist pioneers.
We analyse social affairs in class terms. We approach problems in the field of economics and politics from a consideration of what we see as being the real interests of the world working class. It is our contention that there are only two classes in present day society. Firstly, the working class, who collectively produce the wealth of society and who, in order to live, have to sell their ability to work for a wage or a salary. Secondly, the capitalist class who accumulate profit through the economic exploitation of the working class.
This situation leads to an inevitable conflict of interests and the generation of social and economic problems that cannot be solved while capitalism of whatever form continues. Commodity production (production of wealth for sale with a view to profit) inevitably brings conflict over access to markets and sources of raw materials, and for the control of trade routes, and for strategic point around the globe. Attempts are made to resolve these conflicts through discussion and diplomacy. Where diplomacy fails there remains the threat of force of arms to get what is wanted. From time to time this clash of interests breaks out in armed conflict. For the Socialist Party "capitalism and war are inseparable. There can be no capitalism without conflicts of economic interest." (SPGB: War and the Working Class. 1936. p.1)
Within a year of our founding the Party published an article putting forward our view on war. In it the author wrote:
"I do not think it will be questioned by any socialist that it is his duty to oppose the wars of the ruling class of one nation with the ruling class of another, and refuse to participate in them." ('The curse of national prestige.' Socialist Standard, August 1905.)
This has been our consistent view ever since. So long as the working class continue to support capitalism so long will its wars, and preparations for war, continue. Before the mass slaughter of the First World War we argued that because wars were the outcome of economic and strategic conflicts between the capitalists of the various nations any attempt to abolish war while those economic conflicts remained was bound to be futile. International meetings passing pious resolutions aimed at achieving "universal disarmament" were doomed to failure. This is what one early member wrote in December 1910 about a pre-World War I peace campaign:
"[That] the 'anti-war campaign', as such, is, from the working class standpoint, absurd. Just as the class struggle cannot be abolished save by abolishing classes, so it is impossible for capitalist nations to get rid of the grim spectre of war, for Capitalism presupposes economic conflicts which must finally be fought out with the aid of the armed forces of the State." ('Socialism and the anti-war campaign.' Socialist Standard, December 1910.)
The only solution to war and the myriad other problems that face the workers of the world is to abolish capitalism and replace it with socialism. This involves democratic political action by a majority of the working class who understand the need for change and know how to bring it about.
We do not call for people to love one another (though we are not opposed to that of course) rather we appeal to the workers of this and other countries to recognise their common class interest and to organise consciously and politically to gain the political power necessary to dispossess the owning class – to strip them of their right to own the means of life – and to put in its place a system of common ownership and democratic control of the means of wealth production – socialism.
Socialism will be a classless, propertyless and moneyless world community of production directly for use without the mediation of buying and selling. Nothing else will suffice. Abolition of class ownership will result in the abolition of conflicts of interest both between the owners and the non-owners and also between competing national groups of owners organised politically into armed nation states. We can conceive of no situation in which we would give our support to either side in any of capitalism's armed struggles.
The role of the Socialist Party in helping bring socialism about is one of agitation and education. We are an instrument to be used by a conscious working class once the need for a revolutionary social change is recognised. Because they don't stand for socialism, we are "hostile to every other Party", even to those which claim to have socialism as their goal.
Much of our argument with the left-wing revolves around their demands for reforms. Most radical left-wing parties say (or in the case of the Labour Party used to say) that their goal is "socialism". However they also pursue reforms of capitalism as "stepping stones" to socialism. Any political party doing this soon find themselves saddled with the problems inevitably associated with the running of capitalism.
In an article written in the Journal of Modern History on the eve of the Second World War the historian Harry J. Marks dealt with the collapse of the German Social Democratic Party as a revolutionary party in 1914. He encapsulated and highlighted the dangers to a working class movement inherent in the pursuit of reforms. The author wrote that:
"By accepting the policy of the German Government on August 4, 1914, as fundamentally its own, the role of this enormous organisation as an independent factor in world history sank to insignificance and became no more than that of a cog to gear the labour movement into the German war machine." (Harry J. Marks: 'Sources of Reformism in the SDP of Germany 1890-1914.' Journal of Modern History XI (1939) p. 334.)
Our hostility therefore is no mere semantic quibble. It goes to the heart of our case against adopting the "something now" approach to problems, including the problem of war. Unlike those on the left who are choosy as to which wars they object to, we in the Socialist Party are against all of capitalism's wars. Nor do we single out one or two aspects of war – atomic weapons, or land mines, or poison gas, or the use of child soldiers – we oppose the system that give rise to these things.
Both the established capitalist class and those intent on joining them by force of arms need these weapons to defend and advance their interests against threats from competing groups of capitalists also armed to the teeth to defend their interests. The working class on the other hand have no such interests to defend. The workers have no country. What they do have is a common interest in making the world the common heritage of all who live in it.

PER TE ARMENIA
Charity single
Italian-only 7"
Featurings chronology
Per te Armenia is an italian cover version of Pour toi Arménie, a charity single written by Charles Aznavour (originally from Armenia) and Georges Garvarentz following the devastation caused by the magnitude 6.9 Mw earthquake in Armenia on December 7, 1988. The French version had been recorded by an all-star cast of singers and had topped the French single charts, selling more than 1 million copies.
The Italian version was written by Andrea Lo Vecchio and was also recorded by the most famous Italian artists at the time, of all styles and generations, from Gigliola Cinquetti to… Sabrina Salerno. A music-video was released to accompany and promote the song, a clip was in which Sabrina appeared fleetingly (at 2'40).
The single peaked at #19 on the Italian charts in 1989.

Home/Blog/How Software Based Research Implementation Help You Reach Around The Globe?
Software Based Research Implementation – Regardless of the increasing base of knowledge on evidence-based procedures in social work and medicine. Can find there is a massive distance in between what exactly. And what is always have to do? Implementation research is a study regarding approaches to boost the usage of research results into ordinary practice. A software implementation technique is a systematic design procedure. Used for efficiently combine a software-based service. And element into the workflow of any business framework or even an individual end-user. This approach is a blueprint for obtaining users and organizations performing having a particular software product.
The procedure is a set of algorithms and regards to dealing with the most typical problems when implementing a software product. Business positioning with the organizational view and approval from a human perspective. The implementation of product software, as the closing link in the implementation string of software creation. And the research paper editing and proofreading also vital one for your research paper to enhance the value of your paper. It is in an economic outlook during an essential issue. It is the implementation of software uses about 1/3 belonging to the cost of any software purchase. And a lot more than hardware and software demands as a whole.
The difficulty of implementing product software varies on many problems. The number of customers that can develop product software. The results in the fact that execution has to modifications of things and commitments to the end user. The tradition and also the ethics of any organization in which the application is still to use. And the budget suitable for getting product software. Generally, variations are recognizing on the range of size. An excellent example of the smaller product software is the implementation of the office package.
Basically, it has plenty of customers in a corporation, the effect on things and necessary of the potential customers are not too extreme. Everyday workflow of your end user is not switching extensively. For example, the more decisive product software is the implementation of the business reference or resource planning system. It usually requires in-depth observations of the structure of your corporation. And also of the product itself, before it going to align.
Next, the application of an ERP system entails a lot more commitment to clients as entirely new chores and responsibilities. The software implementation, testing, and evolution (SITE) group examine every aspect of the software life-cycle. As well as needs engineering, pattern, execution, analyzing and maintenance. In the standard procedure of software testing, a user needs to purchase servers and test tools.
Generally, to build utterly different test environment artificially which can cause high-cost, extended test period and challenges. The test executes with limited resource. Cloud computing combines a lot of actual assets into the pool. Users can achieve several virtual resources on demand. And from cloud system without having any expense on infrastructures.
Specifically, it provides the latest means to fix the issues in standard software testing. And this document suggests a multi-layer type of a software online testing platform. Software based research implementation is depending on cloud computing and deploys the test platform. This test platform which includes various platforms, self-help services, functioning upkeep sites finds out the automatic development of test environments.
And also, remote software based research implementation make use of exam and analyze tools and online test services. Users can get many test services on demand just signing in to this particular platform at any time and anywhere. Additionally, this platform is usually examining by way of resource supply time and load variation. It displays the ability of this system to fulfill users' resource needs.
To point out, software systems become more and more enhanced and huge with all the features in several areas. Software testing knowledge with a few issues. For example high test cost, long test time and hard test tools with restricted resources. However, some people survival systems supply different assets and test tools for users. These resources and test tools are constrained to use in the systems. And different research methods types are there to select the suitable research design for your PhD research paper. It is not easy to use to implement testing for many users. So it is a fundamental difficulty how to develop an active test program to help user different needs. It is based on these support and test tools. Cloud computing combines a high number of sources into a pool to concurrently serve users demands based on virtualization techniques.
In general, PhDiZone offer you various writing services for your PhD paper. Indeed, you can develop your knowledge. The various writing services are available to point out. For example, journal writing service, thesis writing service and more.

What is historical criticism?
July 6, 2015 Sylvia Bull and Joseph Schattauer Paillé
Historical criticism (also known as historicism or higher criticism) refers to the study of literary texts, particularly ancient texts and especially the Bible, in terms of their historical origins and development within those contexts. It is an umbrella term which describes the dominant method of study used by biblical scholars today. Technically, this term refers specifically to questions about the historical character of a work, but, as it is impossible to do this without studying the literary character of a work, this article will also address questions of literary criticism as they relate to historical criticism and the Bible.
Historical criticism is not criticism in the sense of disapproval or the examination of faults and mistakes, but instead is an analysis of the text in the hope of better understanding it.
What is the goal of Historical Criticism?
Historical criticism seeks greater understanding of biblical texts by analyzing the historical and social contexts in which they developed. The goal of historical criticism, traditionally, has been to try to understand the text's meaning in its original context and to answer questions about the text, such as:
* Who wrote it?
* When was it written?
* What else what happening at the time of its writing?
* How did it come to be in the form we have it today?
* What did it mean to the people who first read or heard it?
Historical criticism has also often sought answers to the ever-elusive question of what is called "authorial intent": What did the author intend for this text to mean in his or her time and place?
Methods of Historical Criticism
Scholars use a variety of methods in attempting to answer these questions, all of which draw on other fields of biblical and historical scholarship, such as linguistics and archaeology.
Three of the most widely used methods are:
Source criticism. Source criticism questions whether texts came from a singular source, author, or historical context, and seeks to untangle the sources present within any given text.For example, source criticism reads the gospel of Matthew with an eye towards what material came from other gospels or from Matthew's own tradition. The gospel of Matthew shares some material with the gospel of Mark, and other material with the gospel of Luke; a source critic would be interested in which material is shared and how.
Form criticism. Form criticism seeks to understand the claims of a text by analyzing its linguistic patterns.For example, form criticism reads the Gospel of Matthew with an eye towards how certain words and expressions, like "the kingdom of heaven," reflect the broader claims of the text.
Redaction criticism. Redaction criticism analyzes how redactors (i.e., editors) wove together various traditions into one whole.For example, redaction criticism reads the Gospel of Matthew with an eye toward how Matthew changes or uses material from other traditions (like the gospels of Mark and Luke) to fit the text's broader claims.
The History of Historical Criticism
Historical criticism has roots in both the Protestant Reformation and the European Enlightenment. Prior to this era, there was a tradition of reading biblical texts allegorically: every part of the story was symbolic. For some texts in the Bible, this was certainly the case — like the parables of Jesus, where a lost sheep was symbolic of a sinner whom God was seeking. Allegorical readers, however, insisted on this kind of symbolism in all stories — suggesting, for example, that the two coins that the Samaritan gives to the innkeeper in Luke 15 stood for the two sacraments of baptism and communion. The Protestant Reformation brought back an attention to the literal or "plain" meaning of the text, aided by new tools for and interest in studying the Bible in its original languages.
The Enlightenment, for its part, brought with it the questioning of traditional beliefs and a new focus on human reason and scientific objectivity, to which theological and biblical study was now no longer immune. People started to question more vigorously the relationship between what the words of the Bible said and the actual historical events it was supposed to describe. For example: Did Moses really write the Pentateuch (first five books of the Bible)? Were prophets like Isaiah and Jeremiah writing before or after the events they describe? Was the Resurrection an actual historical event? Scholars around the world explored these questions, but perhaps nowhere with greater gusto or to greater effect than in Germany.
Nineteenth century German scholars such as W. M. L. de Wette and Julius Wellhausen tackled the problem of Pentateuch authorship by developing the Documentary Hypothesis using a source-critical method (see above). They suggested that rather than one author (Moses), the Pentateuch was composed of sources from at least four different authors or traditions! This is just one example of the early work done by biblical scholars using historical criticism.
However, this work grew to be highly controversial. By applying historical and literary principles to the study of the Bible, these scholars and others presupposed that the Bible is made up, at least in part, of human documents whose historical reality can be questioned and determined. For some Christians, this approach was dangerous or harmful to the authority of scripture as the authoritative Word of God, especially since it negated some long-held traditions about biblical authorship (such as Moses' authorship of the Pentateuch).
At the turn of the 20th century, in the face of the perceived threat of historical criticism, some Protestant Christians in the United States recommitted themselves to the "fundamentals" of the Christian faith (including the inerrancy of the Bible). These Christians, along with many Roman Catholics, rejected historical criticism as a legitimate form of biblical scholarship. Modernist Christians, on the other hand, embraced historical criticism. Protestant theologians from traditions that embraced this new form of biblical scholarship have wrestled with its implications for the authority of scripture ever since.
Other important names in the development of historical criticism include: Karl Graf, Hermann Gunkel, Ernst Troeltsch, Charles A. Briggs, and Rudolf Bultmann. A well-known off-shoot of historical criticism is the "quest for the historical Jesus." Important early scholars in that field included D.F. Strauss, Adolf Von Harnack, and William Wrede.
The Influence of Historical Criticism
The rise of historical criticism in biblical scholarship was one of the touchpoints in the Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy in the United States in the early 20th century. American Christianity is in many ways still divided between the fundamentalists, who rejected historical criticism, and the modernists (who primarily make up mainline Protestantism) who embraced it. However, over the past century, many of those in conservative traditions that initially rejected the historical-critical method (such as Roman Catholics) have come to accept, at least in part, its conclusions and methodology as useful for illuminating the historical context of the Bible and some of its texts. Historical criticism remains the predominant method used by biblical scholars today.
Historical Criticism and the LGBTQ Community
In recent decades, scholars have used the historical-critical method in new ways on texts that have been used to ostracize members of the LGBTQ community. Historical critical scholarship has called into question many of the assumptions made by contemporary readers about these texts.
For example, in his letter to the Romans, Paul writes that men "men, giving up natural intercourse with women, were consumed with passion for one another" (1:27). Historically, this text has been used to condemn same-sex intimacy as sinful. A historical-critical approach questions the use of the text to condemn homosexuality and instead seeks to place the text within the broader argument of Romans and Paul's historical worldview. Romans scholar Beverly Gaventa notes that "Paul did not have an understanding of homosexuality as a sexual orientation or sexual identity… same-sex intercourse was not understood as an indication of a different sexual identity but as evidence of an intemperate sexual drive." By placing this text in its historical context through analyzing first-century understandings of same-sex intercourse, Gaventa argues that use of this text to exclude gay and lesbian persons from the church is incompatible with Paul's message.
Historical Criticism Today
While the historical critical method has been the preferred tool of biblical scholars for some two hundred years, it has recently come under critique from postmodern thinkers, especially feminist, womanist, queer, liberationist, and Latino/Latina scholars. These scholars have questioned the supposed historical and scholarly objectivity of the historical-critical method. In other words, these scholar doubt whether the historical critical method can retrieve the "original" meaning of the text in any objective way.
Many postmodern scholars believe that, despite our best efforts, we can never fully grasp the historical context or authorial intent of a text because our own experiences and biases influence our readings and study of biblical texts. While many postmodern scholars use the tools and methods of historical criticism, they also argue for the importance of naming and claiming our own perspectives and for a recognition of their impact on the biblical text and its meaning(s).

Welcome to week 26 of your pregnancy. As your belly grows, so does the anticipation of baby's arrival. Your baby is increasingly giving you gentle (and not-so-much-so) reminders by way of more activity this week. It's time to really start planning ahead for the big day.
At 26 weeks pregnant, your uterus is likely feeling like a balloon steadily moving higher and higher up your abdomen. Now, the top of your uterus can be felt about 2½ inches above your belly button, and it will continue growing about a half an inch a week for the remainder of your pregnancy.
At this point, you will have likely gained between 16 and 22 pounds, and you may or may not be sporting stretch marks. Sometimes these "pregnancy stripes" don't appear at all. Other times, they appear closer to delivery day.
Your 26-week-old baby-to-be will be 2 whole pounds and stretch to about 13.38 inches long by week's end. While baby's organs and systems are nearly complete, there's still a lot happening.
For instance, if you're carrying a boy, his testicles have begun to descend into his scrotum. Baby's once-transparent skin is moving closer to opaque, and eyelashes are sprouting on his or her still-shut eyes. Even though baby's eyes are closed, he or she still senses light shifts through your abdomen and reacts to them.
At the same time, the nerves in baby's ears are continuing to develop, allowing him or her to respond to out-of-womb sounds more consistently this week. All of this—plus the fact that baby's nervous system is fine-tuning his or her little arms and legs—means baby is moving and kicking more and more.
If you're carrying more than one baby; experiencing placenta problems; or if you have preeclampsia or eclampsia, there is a chance you'll hear the phrase intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) at your doctor or midwife's office. IUGR refers to slowed baby growth and it's detected with fundal height measurements or an ultrasound.
If your healthcare provider detects a size discrepancy of two weeks or more, you'll likely undergo regular ultrasounds to monitor baby's growth, movements, blood flow, and the amount of amniotic fluid present. It's also likely that you'll get a non-stress test.
Walk, swim, or take a prenatal fitness class. Regular and moderate exercise can help your body better regulate insulin output and blood sugar levels.
Work with your healthcare provider to ensure you're consuming the proper balance of carbs and glucose. Too much of either can throw your blood sugars out of whack.
Increase your intake of fresh fruit and veggies.
Limit fat intake to 30 percent or less of your daily calories.
Depending on what your healthcare provider advises, you may need to test your blood sugar levels at home. If other measures aren't working, your healthcare provider may advise that you take insulin.
Gestational diabetes generally goes away after you give birth. However, once you've had gestational diabetes, your chances are two in three that it will return in other pregnancies.
Your next prenatal appointment will be the first of your third trimester. And with this new trimester comes new discussions to be had.
For instance, you may want to learn about the pros and cons of cord blood banking and cord blood donation at your next visit. Cord blood is the blood that lingers in the umbilical cord and placenta post-birth. It contains stem cells that can be used to help treat a variety of medical issues such as leukemia, sickle cell disease, and metabolic disorders. Your healthcare provider can help you decide if banking or donation is right for you.
If you haven't done so already, now is a great time to start coming up with a birth plan. This is simply a written document that outlines your preferences during labor and delivery. It should reflect how your healthcare provider, hospital staff, and your partner can help you have a positive birth experience.
Ask yourself: What would an ideal birth look like?
Ask yourself: What's really important about my birth?
Avoid a list of "I don't wants" and "I only wants." These don't help your healthcare provider understand the reason behind these preferences, which is what's most important.
Understand that if labor takes an unexpected turn, your plan will not stop your healthcare provider from offering or proceeding with appropriate interventions.
Include instructions on how you'd like to receive information (all the details versus big picture).
Write down what consent means to you, what makes you feel safe and respected, and what kind of contact and touch is helpful.
Understand that birth plans need to be fluid and that you are allowed to change your mind.
Between week 27 and week 36, your partner will get vaccinated against whooping cough (pertussis). This ensures that mom's antibodies will be passed on to your baby, protecting him or her from the illness.
But it's not just moms-to-be who need to be vaccinated. All adolescents and adults who will be in close contact with your newborn, including caregivers, need to be up-to-date with their Tdap vaccine. Give your primary care physician a call to find out if you need the shot, and take on the job of sharing this information with those who are sure to be close to your little one.
Start researching and writing your birth plan.

For most breast cancer patients, surgery is the primary treatment. When patients undergo a lumpectomy, it is difficult for the surgeon to determine the extent of the tumor which results in incomplete tumor removal as determined by a positive margin assessment several days after the initial surgery is completed. Most patients with positive margins will undergo a second or even a third surgery to complete the tumor removal. The investigators hypothesize that the LUM Imaging System can reduce the rates of positive margins and, thus, the rates of second surgeries by identifying microscopic residual cancer in the tumor bed.
This is a non-randomized, open label study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an intraoperative imaging system, the LUM Imaging System (LUM015 in conjunction with LUM 2.6 Imaging Device), in identifying residual cancer in the tumor bed of female breast cancer subjects. The study is composed of a Feasibility Trial divided into two phases: Phase A (15 total subjects) and Phase B (up to 50 total subjects). During Phase A, 15 subjects will be evaluated to collect additional patient safety data, select the dose of LUM015 for Phase B and evaluate the device function. During Phase B, subjects will be injected with LUM015 at the dose determined during Phase A to preliminarily assess the performance of the detection algorithm against pathology margin assessment. In Phase B, the surgeon will perform standard of care surgery and then use the LUM Imaging System to guide the removal of additional cavity shavings as indicated by the LUM Imaging System.
The LUM Imaging System consists of the cancer imaging agent LUM015 and a hand-held fluorescence-based imager that collects the emission of activated LUM015 in and around tumor. The LUM Imaging System is designed to detect microscopic residual cancer cells in real-time within the tumor bed. In this study, we will evaluate the performance of the LUM Imaging System in detecting residual cancer and guiding its removal during lumpectomies.
In Phase A, all patients will receive standard of care surgery followed by intraoperative imaging of the tumor bed and resected tissue with the LUM 2.6 Imaging Device. In Phase A, no clinical decisions are made based on the imaging results. Standard of care margin assessment will be performed and compared against the imaging results with the LUM Imaging System.
Subjects in Phase B will receive standard of care surgery followed by intraoperative imaging of the tumor bed with the LUM Imaging System. In Phase B, the surgeon will remove an additional shaved margin specimen if indicated by the LUM Imaging System. Final margin assessment will be performed on the very last shaved margin specimen removed.
All participating subjects will be observed to collect safety data from the time of injection of LUM015 to the time the clinical team decides no additional surgery is needed.
No dose or a single dose of LUM015 (0.5 mg/kg or 1.0 mg/kg) will be administered by intravenous injection between 2 to 6 hours prior to surgery. The dose administered in Phase B will be determined based on results of Phase A. All subjects will have intraoperative imaging using the LUM 2.6 Imaging Device.
Histologically or cytologically confirmed primary breast cancer.
Female, age of 18 years or older.
Scheduled for a lumpectomy of a breast tumor.
Able and willing to follow study procedures and instructions.
Subjects must be otherwise healthy except for the diagnosis of cancer, as per the exclusion criteria listed below.
Women of child-bearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control, abstinence) starting the day entering the study, and for 60 days after injection of the imaging agent.
Subjects with a known current condition of substance addiction.
Subjects with prolonged QT interval.
Subjects who will have administration of methylene blue or any blue dye used for sentinel node mapping procedures.
Subjects with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.
Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, COPD or asthma requiring hospitalization within the past 12 months, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
Pregnant women are excluded. Breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with LUM015.
Subjects undergoing a second surgery because they had positive margins in a previous surgery.
Subjects with prior reduction mammoplasties or breast reductions performed less than 2 years prior to enrollment to this study.

When you reach a certain age, that phrase has a depressing ring to it – and it turns out to be true, of hiking as well as life, that coming down is harder than going up. It seemed an eternity before we arrived at a small lean-to on Slippery Brook, where we at last had our breakfast of coffee and sweet-and-sour chicken.
Like many Americans, I have come to expect my wild to be tame – trails marked, nature benign and pretty. And let's be honest, pretty much it is. But that is because we have made it so. As Michael, Anne and I sipped our coffee, our bond strengthened, our souls revived, our fears behind us, we knew that this had not been just any walk in the woods.

Q: inverse square root of band matrix this is my first post in this web site and I hope that I find an answer to my question.
I am trying to find a closed-form expression for the inverse square root of the following symmetric band matrix of dimension N*N:
$$
M=
\left(
\begin{array}{c@{\quad}c@{\quad}c@{\quad}c@{\quad}c@{\quad}c@{\quad}c@{\quad}c@{\quad}}
    2  &  0  &  1  &  0  &  \cdots  &  0  &  \cdots\\
    0  &  3  &  0  &  1  &  0  &\cdots  &  0  &  \cdots\\
    1  &  0  &  3  &  0  &  1       &  \cdots & \cdots\\
    0  &  1  &  0  &  3  &  0  &  1 &  \cdots & \vdots\\
    \vdots & \ldots & \ldots & \ldots & \ldots & \ldots & \ldots & \ldots\\
    \vdots & & & & & & 3 & 0\\
    0  &  \cdots & & & & & 0 & 2
\end{array}
\right)
$$
I am sorry if the above representation is not clear. For convenience, I include the matrix elements as follows:
$
M_{1,1}=M_{N,N}=2\\
M_{i,i}=3\ \mathrm{for}\ i=2,\ldots,N-1\\
M_{i,i+2}=M_{i+2,i}=1\ \mathrm{for}\ i=1,\ldots,N-2\\
M_{i,j}=0\ \mathrm{elsewhere}
$
Is there any ideas or already done work about the problem of finding the inverse square root of the matrix $M$ defined above?
Thank you.

The colour of Strawberry Shortcake is a warmish pink toned lipstick in the tube, I think it comes out a lot paler on me than it does in the tube. More of a light milky barbie pink, which I don't think suits me all that much. I think it looks a touch too purple/blue on my pigmented lips. Im not 100% sure if I like it. The conistancy is creamy and slicks onto the lips incredibly easily. Its a very moisturising formula which feels comfortable on the lips. Its perfect for a daytime lipstick as it is so subtle and easy to wear. The formula doesn't wear that well though. Id say between 2-3 hours before needing reapplication, which is very poor, but average for most sheer lipbalms/lipsticks.
I was actually surprised with the price point, at nearly £8 I think thats pretty steep. Revlon is one of the higher priced drugstore brands but I do think thats quite high for a lipbalm/lipstick hybrid. Maybe its just because the product doesn't specifically appeal to me and being so nonchalant about the product probably didn't help. I do think its a good product and does live up to my expectations. If you were looking for a moisturising sheer lipstick then go for it. It is a nice product, but personally Im not blown away with my experience with it!
To be honest, they're almost exactly the same as 17 Mirror Shine lipsticks - which are cheaper!
Yes, I thought this too!
I was swatching the shades in Boots the other day and didn't really think they were too different to anything else already on the market!
However I do really like this shade!
To me it all just seems like a clever marketing ploy to get people to buy pretty much the same products they already have, just by giving them different names. Surely a lip butter is basically just a lip gloss?
I really need to get my hands on some of these! So pretty!
the hype around these makes me want to try them out but i do think exactly the same as you about £8 being expensive for a tinted lipbalm..
Some of them are a lot more pigmented. Try sweet tart or candy apple. Very very pretty!
I was looking forward to trying these but now I have seen a couple of blog posts on them I'm not so sure, they seem fairly sheer which is disappointing.
