US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met Wednesday with President Barham Salih, Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi, House Speaker Mohammad Halabousi, Foreign Minister Mohammed al-Hakim and US troops after arriving in Baghdad on an unannounced visit.
Pompeo and government officials did not make any comments to the media.
The visit comes about two weeks after US President Donald Trump's visit to Iraq to inspect US troops without meeting any officials.
Baghdad is the second leg of a regional tour by Pompeo, which began Tuesday in the Jordanian capital, Amman.
Trump, on December 26, paid a surprise visit to US troops in hours, his first visit to a conflict zone since his election two years ago.
Although the government authorities declared victory over the terrorist organization Da'ash in December 2017, the organization still maintains small cells and pockets in mountainous and desert areas, especially near the border with neighboring Syria, and remains capable of launching attacks.
In addition to Jordan and Iraq, the US Secretary of State will visit [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] , Bahrain, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait and Qatar, according to the State Department.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo visited Iraq on Wednesday to reassure US troops and Iraqi leaders about his country's withdrawal from Syria.
He held meetings with Iraqi President Barham Salih, Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi, Parliament Speaker Mohammed Halabousi and Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Hakim, during which he reiterated Washington's commitment to Iran as the biggest threat to regional security.
The Arab media quoted an Iraqi source familiar with anonymity, said that "is likely to discuss Pompeo during the visit, three prominent files are the United States sanctions on Iran, especially after Iraq again requested exemption from sanctions in respect of gas and electricity, and the file The US military presence in Iraq, while the third file will be the stabilization of Iraqi cities liberated from the organization of a preacher, and the program of rehabilitation and ensure that the return of violence to it.
Pompeo's visit to Iraq was not announced on his tour schedule in the Middle East.
Pompeo's visit to Iraq came on the second day of a tour of the region, including Jordan, Egypt, Bahrain, Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Oman.

The President of the Republic Barham Salih, at the Peace Palace in Baghdad, on Wednesday with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo the latest developments in the political and security situation in the country and the region.
He stressed the need for a constructive dialogue among all parties to achieve security and peace, ease tension and instability in the Arab and regional arenas and promote international and regional cooperation to end extremism and defeat terrorism once and for all.
According to a presidential statement, President Saleh stressed that Iraq is keen to build balanced relations with all friendly and allied countries based on respect for sovereignty and constancy and the independence of its national decision.
The President of the Republic to the depth of the relationship between the two countries and develop them to achieve the common interests of the two friendly peoples, and the importance of the American contribution to the reconstruction of Iraq and the advancement of its economy and the upgrading of all sectors.
He praised the United States' support for Iraq politically and security, especially in its war against terrorism and the achievement of the great victory over gangs.
For his part, the US Secretary of State renewed his government's keenness to establish special relations with Iraq at various levels, stressing his country's continued commitment to fight the da'wah and terrorism.
Pompeo said that the United States considers Iraq an important and strategic partner in the political, economic and security fields, expressing his country's readiness to invest and contribute to the reconstruction of Iraq, especially its liberated cities.

Maryland's Project SAFE Act to Help Curb Elder Financial Exploitation
October 29, 2021 by Laura Curry, Estate Planning Attorney
Financial exploitation of vulnerable adults is an endemic in our society today and it is becoming increasingly common to hear allegations of deception, intimidation, and undue influence to defraud vulnerable adults of their property. According to the National Council on Aging, up to five (5) million older Americans are abused every year, and the annual loss by victims of financial abuse is estimated to be at least $36.5 billion.[1] In fact, many have characterized financial elder abuse as the silent crime of the 21st century. In response to this vulnerable population, Maryland enacted the Maryland's Project SAFE (Stop Adult Financial Exploitation) Act through the most recent legislative session.
The Maryland SAFE Act evolved after countless hours, discussion and drafting by the Vulnerable Adult Exploitation Joint Task Force. Prior to the SAFE Act, remedies for financial exploitation were mostly limited to criminal actions which had proven to be largely ineffective for several reasons. First, most victims are reluctant to involve law enforcement in family matters. Secondly, there is a very high burden of proof necessary to obtain a criminal conviction. As such, the Task Force determined that a civil cause of action would be a more effective remedy to try and curb financial abuse.
The Maryland SAFE Act codifies existing Maryland law by creating a statutory cause of action for financial exploitation. The Act provides remedies that include allowing the victim to be awarded treble damages, attorney's fees, and equitable relief, in addition to recovering the value of the loss. The Act provides that a "susceptible adult" may bring a cause of action against a person who has committed financial exploitation against the susceptible adult to recover damages and obtain other appropriate relief. A "susceptible adult" under the Act is defined by any adult who is "unable to perform, without prompting or assistance, one or more activities of daily living, is unable to protect the adult's rights, or has diminished executive functioning, due to advanced age, mental, emotional, sensory or physical disability, impaired mobility, habitual drunkenness, addiction to drugs or hospitalization." The Act also defines an older adult as an "individual who is at least 68 years of age."
So what does Maryland law define as "financial exploitation?" The SAFE Act contains broad definitions of financial exploitation so it captures the types of acts most commonly used to exploit susceptible adults. For example, it includes exploitation by a person who is in a "position of trust and confidence." It is important to note that the Act specifies that the financial exploitation includes a transfer of assets belonging to a susceptible adult or older person from a personal or joint account. The inclusion of a joint account will make it more difficult for a perpetrator to defend allegations when the perpetrator depletes a joint account that was set up for convenience purposes only.
One of the key elements of the Act is its provision for damages. In addition to being able to recover the full value of the property that was transferred from a susceptible adult, a victim may also be awarded attorneys' fees and treble damages, subject to the discretion of the court. It is the hope that including the provision to allow for the award of attorneys' fee would encourage more victims to seek and obtain competent legal counsel. However, if a plaintiff is determined to have brought the action in bad faith or frivolously, the court may order the plaintiff to pay the defendant's attorney's fees and court costs. This was included to address the concern that family members could use the Act as a weapon or power play with other family members.
The statute of limitations to file a cause of action is five (5) years after the susceptible adult or their representative discovered or should have discovered the facts that lead to the financial exploitation. In conclusion, the Maryland SAFE Act took great steps to broaden the definition of "financial exploitation" and "susceptible adults" in an attempt to be a deterrent to perpetrators of financial abuse. With the law more clearly defined and a broad definition of "financial exploitation" and "susceptible adults," litigation against a perpetrator should be easier and will hopefully yield better results for victims. With more knowledge and awareness of the Maryland SAFE Act, hopefully would-be perpetrators of financial abuse will be deterred from acting in the first place.

Whenever the construction of a house is concerned, the planning is categorically important. If a home is build up without proper planning, the chances of it bodily well-off and staying stirring for a longer era of era are entirely slim. However, if a house is made bearing in mind a properly thought of concept and an idea in a person's head, after that it is surely going to be a good area to bring to life in for the residents as skillfully as meet every their needs.
Now, most people who opt for home building think of designing it themselves. They accomplish not ask for any expert advice, and if they have an blank plot, they just hire builders and construction agents and offer them an outlay of their plans as to how they want their home to look like.
For those who have no idea not quite construction and how houses should be planned, this is an entirely needy idea. Your house is something that cannot be torn beside and rebuilt based on the fact that it was 'poorly planned' and therefore the planning of your house needs to be accurate and agreed good.
There are several ways by which you can get home planning ideas. One of the most prominent ways to have houses planned is by fake as a result online. There are various rotate methods that can be used in this regard. The simplest artifice is to gain access to happening a website of a utter that offers planning in the country where you alive in, and next you can easily verify entry considering that company and order your plans from them.
However, it is totally important that the company you choose should be well-behaved and time-honored for that reason that you are not fooled, because you would be paying maintenance even if acquiring the facilities of the company.
Secondly, you must make sure that the company already has a unconditionally prominent declare in the field of house planning, and you should check out the pictures in the builder encyclopedia of that website to get a distinct describe as to how the houses are designed by those firms. This would come up with the money for a certain characterize in the user's head consequently that he or she would acquire an idea virtually the type of plot that might be returned. Secondly, you along with get customer withhold options, consequently if you environment the house plan is not happening to the mark and requires changes, that can be ended as well.

\section{Introduction}

BMS symmetry is a symmetry of the asymptotically flat spaces
 at the null infinity. The infinite-dimensional group of the BMS
transformations
extends the Poincare group and contains  supertranslations,
angular-dependent shifts of retarded time at null infinity
 \cite{bondi,sachs,strom1}.
 Finite supertranslation
 diffeomorphisms map field configurations to inequivalent, physically different
configurations which differ by structure of a cloud of soft particles
\cite{fad,carney,strom4}.
Configurations with different supertranslation fields are physically different in a
sense that their corresponding (superrotation) charges are different
\cite{bar3,bar2,bar4,charge,comp1,comp2}.

The final  state of gravitational collapse is diffeomorphic to the Kerr
space-time. The set of diffeomorphisms contains supertranslations, and the
resulting stationary metric contains  supertranslation field.
The final state of collapse is parametrisied
by mass, angular momentum and supertranslation field \cite{comp2}.

The BMS transformations are naturally formulated at the null infinity, and there is
a complicated problem of extension  of an asymptotically defined metric with
supertranslation field
in a closed form  to the bulk.
In paper \cite{comp1} a family of
vacua containing  supertranslation field was constructed in the bulk. In paper
\cite{comp2} a solution-generation technique was developed and
applied to construction of the exact solutions to Einsteins equations which are
black hole metrics containing supertranslation field.
It is an interesting question, how the infinite-dimensional symmetries
of the space-time reveal themselves in the near-horizon physics.

Because many problems of black-hole physics are
connected with horizon structure of black holes, and having an explicit
example of a metric with supertranslation field,
in the present paper we study the near-horizon symmetries of the black hole metric
\cite{comp2}
containing supertranslation field.

In Sect.2 the metric of \cite{comp2} is transformed to a form in which horizon
of the black hole is located at the surface $r=2M$, where $M$ is the mass
of black hole.
Solving the geodesic equations, we show that the surface $r=2M$
is the surface of infinite red-shift.

In Sect.3 we study general near-horizon symmetries of the metric
preserving the form of the metric components in
the leading orders in distance from the horizon $r-2M$.
Solving the equations for the asymptotic Killing vectors
corresponding to  near-horizon symmetries of the metric,
we find variations of the metric components under the action
of generators of the asymptotic near-horizon symmetries.

In Sect.4, first, we review the
action of supertranslations preserving the static gauge of the metric.
Restricted to the near-horizon region, supertranslations act as near-horizon
symmetries. We find a subgroup of the group of supertranslations which preserve
both the gauge and the near-horizon form of the metric.

In Sect.5, using the results of Sect.3,
we calculate  variation of the surface charge corresponding to the asymptotic
horizon symmetries.
Sufficient conditions on the metric making possible integration of the variation
of the charge  over the space of metrics  to a closed form are found.
Example of metrics with supertranslation field  depending
only on spherical angle $\theta$ is considered.
  It is shown that in this case
there appear relations between the
components of the metric which make possible  integration of the variation of the
charge to a closed expression.

Sect.6 contains  remarks on connection of the results of the present
with other papers.

\section{Static metric with supertranslation field}

In this section, after a short review of black hole with supertranslation
field constructed in \cite{comp2}, we transform the metric to a form with the horizon
located at the surface $r=2M$. Solving the geodesic equations for null geodesics
we show that the surface $r=2M$ is the surface of infinite red-shift.

Vacuum solution of the Einstein equations containing supertranslation field
$C(z, \bar{z} )$ is
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{2.1}
&{}& ds^2 =\tilde{g}_{mn}dx^m dx^n = \\\nonumber
&{}&= -\frac{(1-M/2\rho_s )^2}{(1+M/2\rho_s )^2}dt^2 +
(1+M/2\rho_s )^4 \left[d\rho^2 + (((\rho -E)^2 +U)\gamma_{ab} +(\rho -E)C_{ab})dz^a dz^b
 \right],
\end{eqnarray}
where $z^a =z,\,\bar{z}$.
Supertranslation field  $C(z,\bar{z} )$ is
a real regular function on the unit sphere.
Here
\begin{equation}
\label{2.2}
\rho_s (\rho, C) =\sqrt{(\rho -C -C_{00})^2 + D_a C D^a C}
.\end{equation}
$C_{00}$ is the lowest spherical harmonic mode of $C(z,\bar{z} )$.
In the following we do not write $C_{00}$ explicitly understanding
$C\rightarrow C-C_{00}$.
Covariant derivatives $D_a ,\,\, a=z,\bar{z} $ are  defined
with respect to the metric on the sphere
 $ds^2 =\gamma_{z\bar{z}}dz d\bar{z}, \,\, z = \cot\frac{\theta}{2} e^{i\varphi},\,\,\,
\gamma_{z\bar{z}}= 2e^{-2\psi},\,\, \psi =
\ln(1+|z|^2 )$. Also we consider the metric (\ref{2.1}) written in
spherical coordinates with the metric on the sphere  $ds^2 =d\theta^2 +
\sin^2\theta d\varphi^2$.
The tensor $C_{ab}$  and the functions
$U$ and $E$ are defined as
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{2.3}
\nonumber
C_{ab} = -(2D_a D_b -\gamma_{ab} D^2 ) C,\\
U=\frac{1}{8} C_{ab}C^{ba},\\\nonumber
E=\frac{1}{2}D^2 C + C,
\end{eqnarray}
and in $z,\,\bar{z}$ representation are equal to
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{2.4}
C_{zz} =-2D_z D_z C, \qquad C_{\bar{z}\z} =-2{D}_{\bar{z}} {D}_{\bar{z}} C, \qquad C_{z\bar{z}}= 0,\\
U= \frac{1}{4}(\gamma^{z\bar{z}})^2 D^2_z C D^2_{\bar{z}}  C,\\
E =\gamma^{z\bar{z}}D_z D_{\bar{z}}  C  +C.
\end{eqnarray}
We introduce a new variable $r=r(\rho , z^a ) $ chosen so that the  $\tilde{g}_{tt}$
component of the
metric is equal to $1-2M/r$ \cite{iofa}.
Variable $r$ is defined the by the relation
\begin{equation}
\label{2.5}
r=\rho_s (\rho, C)\left(1+\frac{M}{2\rho_s (\rho, C)}\right)^2
.\end{equation}
Inversely,  $\rho$ is expressed through $r$ as
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{2.r}\nonumber
 \rho=C +\sqrt{\frac{K^2}{4}-D_a C D^a C},
\end{eqnarray}
where we introduced the functions
\begin{equation}
\label{2.6}
K=r-M + r V^{1/2},\qquad\,\, V=1-\frac{2M}{r}
.\end{equation}
Introducing
\begin{equation}
\label{2.9}
b_a = \frac{2\partial_a C}{K} , \qquad b^2 = b_a b^a,\qquad a=z,\,\bar{z}
,\end{equation}
we have the expression for $d\rho (r, z^a )$ in a form
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{2.12}
&{}&d\rho =\frac{K}{2\sqrt{1-b^2} }\left[
f_a dz^a
+ \frac{dr}{rV^{1/2}}\right],\\
&{}& f_a =b_a\sqrt{1-b^2 } -\frac{\partial_a b^2}{2}
.\end{eqnarray}
Writing
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{2.13}
((\rho -E)^2 +U)\gamma_{z\bar{z}}=
 \left(\frac{K}{2}\right)^2 \hat{g}_{z\bar{z}},\\
\label{2.14}
(\rho - E)C_{zz}=
 \left(\frac{K}{2}\right)^2\hat{g}_{zz},\\
\label{2.15}
(\rho - E)C_{\bar{z}\z}=
 \left(\frac{K}{2}\right)^2\hat{g}_{\bar{z}\z}.
\end{eqnarray}
we express the metric (\ref{2.1}) in a form
\begin{eqnarray}
\nonumber
&{}&ds^2=g_{tt}dt^2 + g_{rr}dr^2+ g_{r z}dr dz +g_{r \bar{z}}dr d\bar{z} +g_{zz}dz dz
+g_{\bar{z}\z}d\bar{z} d\bar{z} +2g_{z\bar{z}}dz d\bar{z}=\\\nonumber
&{}&= -Vdt^2 +
\frac{dr^2}{ V(1-b^2 )}+\frac{r (f_z dz +f_{\bar{z}} d\bar{z} ) dr}{V^{1/2}(1-b^2 )}
+\\\label{2.16}
&{}&+r^2\left[\left( \frac{f^2_z }{1-b^2 } + \hat{g}_{zz}\right )dz^2 +
\left( \frac{f^2_{\bar{z}}}{1-b^2 } + \hat{g}_{\bar{z}\z }\right )d{\bar{z}}^2
+2\left(\frac{f_z f_{\bar{z}}}{1-b^2 } +\hat{g}_{z \bar{z}}\right )dz d{\bar{z}}\right]
.\end{eqnarray}
To obtain the metric in a form (\ref{2.16}),  we have used the relations
\begin{equation}
\label{2.17}
\frac{(1-M/2\rho_s )^2}{(1+M/2\rho_s )^2}=V, \qquad (1+M/2\rho_s )^4 =\frac{4r^2}{K^2}.
\end{equation}

For the above expressions to be well-defined, we require
that $1-b^2 >0$. Because $K$ is the increasing function of $r$
having its minimum at $r=2M$ the  sufficient condition is
$1-|2\partial_z C/M|^2>0$.
In (\ref{2.16}) we separated the factors $V$ which are most singular in the
near-horizon limit $r\rightarrow 2M$.

To show that the surface $r=2M$ is the infinite red-shift surface,
we solve the null geodesic equations in the metric (\ref{2.16}) in the limit
 $V\rightarrow 0$. Geodesic equations can be written either
in a form using the Christoffel symbols, or starting from the Lagrangian
corresponding to the metric \cite{chand}.
Separating the leading in $V\rightarrow 0$ parts of the metric components,
we obtain the Lagrangian in a form
\begin{equation}
\label{g1}
{\cal L}=-\frac{V {\dot{t}^2}}{2} + \frac{{\dot{r}}^2 \bar{g}_{rr}}{2V} + \frac{\bar{g}_{ra}\dot{z}_a
\dot{r}}{V^{1/2}} +\frac{1}{2} \bar{g}_{ab}\dot{z}_a\dot{z}_b
.\end{equation}
Here dot is  derivative with respect to an affine parameter along
the geodesic $\tau$, bar over metric component means that the leading in
$V\rightarrow 0$ factor is written explicitly.
The Lagrange equations are
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{g2}
 &{}&\frac{d(tV)}{d\tau}=0,\\
\label{g3}
&{}& \frac{\ddot{r}\bar{g}_{rr}}{V} +\frac{{\dot{r}}^2 \bar{g}_{rr,r}}{V} +
\frac{{\dot{r}}^2 \bar{g}_{rr}V_{,r}}
{2V^2} +\frac{\bar{g}_{ar}\dot{r}\dot{z}_a}{V^{1/2}} - \frac{\bar{g}_{ra}\ddot{z}_a}{V^{1/2}} +
\frac{{\dot{t}}^2 V_{,r}}{2} +\frac{1}{2} \bar{g}_{ab,r}\dot{z}_a\dot{z}_b =0,\\
\label{g4}
&{}& -\frac{\bar{g}_{ar}{\dot{r}}^2 V_{,r} }{2V^{3/2}} + \frac{\bar{g}_{ar}{\dot{r}}^2 }{V^{1/2}}+
\frac{ \bar{g}_{ar}\ddot{r}}{V^{1/2}} +\bar{g}_{ab}\ddot{z}_b +\bar{g}_{ab,r}\dot{r}\dot{z}_b
+\frac{1}{2}\bar{g}_{bc,a}\dot{z}_b\dot{z}_c =0
.\end{eqnarray}
We look for a solution in the asymptotic region $V\rightarrow 0$ in a form
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{g5}
&{}&\dot{t}=\frac{E}{V} ,\\
\label{g6}
&{}&\dot{r}=C+C_1 V^{1/2}+\cdots ,\\
\label{g7}
&{}& \dot{z}_a =A_a V^{-1/2}+A_{1a}+\cdots .
\end{eqnarray}
Substituting the Ansatz in Eqs. (\ref{g2})-(\ref{g3})
and separating the leading in $V\rightarrow 0$ terms, we have
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{g8}
&{}&V^{-2} [E^2 -\bar{g}_{rr} C^2  - \bar{g}_{ra} A_a C ]=0,\\
\label{g9}
&{}& V^{-3/2} [\bar{g}_{ra} C+ \bar{g}_{ab} A_b ] =0
.\end{eqnarray}
Solving the system (\ref{g8})-(\ref{g9}),  we obtain
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{g10}
&{}&
A_b = -(g^{-1})_{ba}\bar{g}_{ar}, \\
\label{g11}
&{}&
\label{g12}
E^2 =[\bar{g}_{rr}-\bar{g}_{rb} (g^{-1})_{ba} \bar{g}_{ar} ]C^2
.\end{eqnarray}
Because of  translation invariance  of the metric in $t$,
the system of equations
(\ref{g2})-(\ref{g4}) has the first integral ${\cal L}={\cal  H}=0$.
Substituting the  Ansatz  with the solution (\ref{g10})-(\ref{g11}),
we find that in the main order in
$V\rightarrow 0$ the relation ${\cal H}=0$ is satisfied identically.
From (\ref{g5}) and (\ref{g6}) in the main order in $V\rightarrow 0$ we obtain
\begin{equation}\label{g13}
\frac{dr}{dt}=\pm |E|V(r).
\end{equation}
From this relation it follows that the surface $r=2M$ is the surface of infinite
redshift \cite {LL}.

\section{Diffeomorphisms preserving the near-horizon form of the metric}

In this section we study general diffeomorphisms which preserve the form of
the metric in the near-horizon. To discuss the near-horizon geometry, we
consider the leading in $x=r-2$ terms in the metric.
Requiring that the functional form of the leading terms is preserved under
the action of diffeomorphisms, we obtain the restrictions on the vector
fields generating diffeomorphisms. Transformations preserving the gauge
conditions $g_{rt}=g_{at}=0$ result in time independence of generators
of transformations, from transformations of other metric components
follow restrictions on the $x$-dependence of generators.

Separating the leading
in $x$ behavior in
the metric components, we present the metric (\ref{2.16}) as
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{4.1}
&{}&ds^2 = {g}_{tt}dt^2 +{g}_{rr} dr^2 +{g}_{ra}dr dz^a +{g}_{ab}dz^a dz^b=
\\\nonumber
&{}&=(-g_{tt,1} x +O(x^2 ))dt^2 + \left(\frac{g_{rr,-1}}{x} +O(x^{-1/2} )\right)dx^2+
2\left(\frac{g_{ra,-1/2}}{x^{1/2}}+O(x^0 \right)dxdz^a + \\\nonumber
&{}&+(g_{ab,0}+O(x^{1/2})dz^a dz^b .
\end{eqnarray}
Under the diffeomorphisms generated by vector fields $\chi^k $ the metric
components are transformed as
\begin{equation}
\label{4.4}
L_\chi g_{mn} =\chi^k\partial_k {g}_{mn}+\partial_m \chi^k {g}_{kn} + \partial_n \chi^k  {g}_{mk}
\end{equation}
We look for the components of the vector fields $\chi^k$ in a form of expansion
in powers in $x^{1/2}$
$$
\chi^k = \chi^k_0 +x^{1/2}\chi^k_{1/2} +x \chi^k_{1} +\cdots
$$
The metric (\ref{2.1}) is written in the gauge
$$
{g}_{rt}={g}_{ta}=0
.$$
Transformations preserving the gauge conditions are
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{4.6}
L_{\chi}{g}_{rt}=\partial_r \chi^t {g}_{tt} +\partial_t\chi^r {g}_{rr}+\partial_t \chi^a {g}_{ar}=0\\
\label{4.7}
L_{\chi}{g}_{at}=\partial_a \chi^t {g}_{tt}+\partial_t\chi^r {g}_{ra}+\partial_t \chi^b {g}_{ba}=0
.\end{eqnarray}
From the equations (\ref{4.6})- (\ref{4.7}) it follows
that
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{4.81}
&{}&\dot{\chi}^r_0 =\dot{\chi}^r_{1/2} =\dot{\chi}^r_{1}=0,\\
&{}&\dot{\chi}^a_0 =\dot{\chi}^a_{1/2}=0.
\end{eqnarray}
Here  "dot" denotes differentiation over $t$.

Transformations preserving the leading in $x$ behavior of other  metric
components are
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{4.10}
&{}& L_\chi g_{tt} = \chi^r\partial_r g_{tt}+2\partial_t \chi^t g_{tt} =O(x),\\\nonumber
&{}& L_\chi g_{rr}= \chi^r\partial_r g_{rr}+\partial_a \chi^a g_{rr} + 2\partial_r \chi^a g_{ar}
+ 2\partial_r \chi^r g_{rr} =O(x^{-1}),\\\nonumber
&{}& L_\chi g_{ar}=  \chi^r\partial_r g_{ar}+\chi^b\partial_b g_{ar} + \partial_a \chi^r g_{rr} +
\partial_a \chi^b g_{br} + \partial_r \chi^r g_{ar} + \partial_r \chi^b g_{ab} =O(x^{-{1/2}}),\\\nonumber
&{}& L_\chi g_{ab } =(\chi^r\partial_r +\chi^c\partial_c ) g_{ab}+\partial_a \chi^r g_{rb} +
\partial_a \chi^c g_{cb} +\partial_b \chi^r g_{ra} + \partial_b \chi^c g_{ca}=O(x^0 ).
\end{eqnarray}
From the transformation of the $g_{rr}$-component it follows that
\begin{equation}
\label{4.1a}
\chi_0^r =\chi_{1/2}^r =0.
\end{equation}
From transformations (\ref{4.10}) we extract transformations of
the leading-order terms of metric components
\begin{eqnarray}
\nonumber
&{}&
\delta_\chi g_{tt}=\chi_1^r g_{tt} +\chi^a_0\partial_a g_{tt} +\dot\chi^t_0 g_{tt}\\\nonumber
&{}&
\delta_\chi g_{rr,-1}=\chi^r_1 \,g_{rr,-1}+\chi^a_{1/2}\, g_{a r, -1/2} +\chi^a_0\,
\partial_a g_{rr,-1}\\\nonumber
&{}&
\delta_\chi g_{a r, -1/2} =\frac{1}{2}\,\chi^r_1\,g_{a r, -1/2}+
\chi_0^b\,\partial_b g_{a r, -1/2}+
\partial_a\chi^b_0\, g_{b r, -1/2} +\frac{1}{2}\chi^b_{1/2}\,g_{ab,0}\\\nonumber
&{}&
\delta_\chi g_{ab ,0}=\chi^c_0 \partial_c\,  g_{ab ,0} +
 \partial_a\chi^c_0\, g_{cb ,0}+\partial_b\chi^c_0\, g_{ca ,0}\\\nonumber
&{}&\delta_\chi g_{ab ,1/2}= \frac{1}{2}\chi^r_1\, g_{ab ,1/2} + \partial_a\chi^r_1\,
g_{rb ,-1/2}+\partial_b\chi^r_1\,g_{ra ,-1/2} +\chi^c_0\partial_c\, g_{ab ,1/2} +
\chi^c_{1/2}\partial_c\, g_{ab ,0}+\\
\label{4.11}
&{}& +\partial_a\chi^c_0\,g_{cb ,1/2} + \partial_a\chi^c_{1/2}\, g_{cb,0}
+\partial_b\chi^c_0\,g_{ca ,1/2} + \partial_b\chi^c_{1/2}\, g_{ca,0}
\end{eqnarray}
The leading-order parts of the metric components are transformed
through the functions
\begin{equation}
\label{4.13}
x\chi_1^r (z,\bar{z}),\quad \chi_0^z (z,\bar{z}),\quad \chi_0^{\bar{z}} (z,\bar{z}),\quad
x^{1/2}\chi_{1/2}^z (z,\bar{z}),\quad x^{1/2}\chi_{1/2}^{\bar{z}} (z,\bar{z}),\quad {\chi}^t_0 (t,z.\bar{z})
.\end{equation}
The variations of the metric components are  used in Sect.5
for calculation of the surface charge corresponding to asymptotic horizon
symmetries.
The Lie brackets of vector fields generating the near-horizon transformations
are
\begin{equation}
\label{4.12}
[\chi_{(1)}, \,\chi_{(2)}]^k = \chi_{(12)}^k
,\end{equation}
where
\begin{eqnarray}\nonumber
&{}&\chi_{(12),0}^t =\chi^t_{(1),0}\stackrel{\leftrightarrow}{\partial}_t\chi^t_{(2),0} +
\left(\chi^b_{(1),0}\partial_b \chi^t_{(2),0}-(1\leftrightarrow 2)\right),
\\\nonumber
&{}&\chi^r_{(12),1}=
\chi^b_{(1),0}\partial_b \chi^r_{(2),1}-(1\leftrightarrow 2),
\\\nonumber
&{}& \chi^a_{(12),0}=
\chi^b_{(1),0}\stackrel{\leftrightarrow}{\partial}_b\chi^a_{(2),0},\\
&{}& \chi_{(12),1/2}^a=
\left(\chi^b_{(1),0}\partial_b\chi^a_{(2),1/2}-
(1\leftrightarrow 2)\right)
+1/2 \left(\chi^r_{(1),1}\chi^a_{(2),1/2}-
(1\rightarrow 2)\right).
\end{eqnarray}

\section{Supertranslations preserving the static\newline
gauge of the metric}

The metric (\ref{2.1}) was obtained in \cite{comp2} in the static gauge
$\tilde{g}_{\rho a}=
\tilde{g}_{t a}=0$.
The aim of this section is to find which supertranslations preserve both
the gauge and the form of the metric (\ref{2.16})  at the horizon.
We shortly review the supertranslatons preserving the gauge of (\ref{2.1}).
Next, we write the generator of supertranslations in the case of
the metric (\ref{2.16}). We find conditions on the generator of supertranslations
under which the functional form of the component
$g_{tt}$ at the horizon is preserved.
It is shown that these conditions  are sufficient to preserve the
near-horizon form of all the components of the metric.

Generator of supertranslations preserving the static gauge of (\ref{2.1})
 was found in \cite{comp2} and has the form
\begin{equation}
\label{3.1}
\xi_T =T_{00}\partial_t -(T-T_{00})\partial_ \rho +F^{ab}D_a T D_b
,\end{equation}
where
$$
F^{ab}= \frac{C^{ab}-2\gamma^{ab}(\rho -E)}{2((\rho -E)^2 -U)^2 }.
$$

Horizon of the metric (\ref{2.1}) is located at the surface
\begin{equation}
\label{3.4}
\rho_H (z,\bar{z} )=C+\sqrt{1/4 -D_a C D^a C}
.\end{equation}
Horizon of the metric (\ref{2.16}) is located at the surface $r=2$.

Generator of supertranslations preserving the static gauge of the metric (\ref{2.16})
is obtained from the generator (\ref{3.1}) by the coordinate transformation
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{3.5}\nonumber
&{}&
\chi^r_T =\xi^\rho \frac{\partial r}{\partial\rho}+\xi^a \frac{\partial r}{\partial z^a }=
\xi^\rho \frac{\partial r}{\partial\rho_s}\frac{\partial \rho_s}{\partial \rho } +
\xi^a \frac{\partial r}{\partial\rho_s}\frac{\partial \rho_s}{\partial z^a},\\
&{}&\chi^a_T =\xi^\rho \frac{\partial z^a}{\partial\rho}+\xi^b \frac{\partial z^a}{\partial z^b}=\xi_T^a.
\end{eqnarray}
From (\ref{2.2}) and (\ref{2.5}), we have
$$
\partial r/\partial\rho_s =\frac{K^2 -1}{K^2},\qquad \partial\rho_s/\partial\rho =\sqrt{1-b^2},\qquad
\partial\rho_s/\partial z^a =\frac{K}{4}[-2b_a\sqrt{1-b^2}+D_a b^2 ]
$$

In variables $t,r$ of the metric (\ref{2.16}) generator of supertranslations
takes the form
\begin{equation}
\label{3.6}
\chi_T =\chi_T^t\partial_t +\chi_T^r\partial_r +\chi_T^a \partial_a ,
\end{equation}
where
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{3.7}
&{}&
\chi_T^t =T_{00},\\\nonumber
&{}&
\chi_T^r =\frac{K^2 -1}{K^2}\left(-(T-T_{00})\sqrt{1-b^2} +\frac{K}{4}F^{ab}D_b T
(-2b_a\sqrt{1-b^2}+D_a b^2)\right),\\\nonumber
&{}&
\chi_T^a = F^{ab}D_b T.
\end{eqnarray}
Here $F^{ab}(r,z^a )= F^{ab}(\rho=\rho(r,z^a ),z^a )$.
In the near-horizon region  $r=2+x,\,\,\, |x|\ll 1$, we have
\begin{equation}
\label{3.9a}
K\simeq 1+\sqrt{2x},\,\quad b_a=b_{a 0} (1-\sqrt{2x}),\,\,\, b_{a 0} =2\partial_a C .
\end{equation}
For $x\ll 1$ the component $g_{tt}$ is
\begin{equation}
\label{3.9}
g_{tt}=\frac{x}{2}+O(x^2 ).
\end{equation}
Acting by the generator of supertranslations on the component $g_{tt}$, we obtain
\begin{equation}
\label{3.10}
L_{\chi_T}g_{tt} = \frac{2}{r^2}\frac{K^2-1}{K^2}\left(-(T-T_{00})\sqrt{1-b^2} +\frac{K}{4}
(-2b_a\sqrt{1-b^2}+D_a b^2)\right)
.\end{equation}
In the near-horizon region $(K^2 -1 )/K^2 =O(x^{1/2} )$.
To have the  same form of the transformed component  $g_{tt}$ as in (\ref{3.9}),
 the second factor  in brackets in (\ref{3.10}) should be of order  $O(x^{1/2} )$
or less, i.e.
\begin{equation}
\label{3.11a}
-(T-T_{00})\sqrt{1-b^2} +\frac{K}{4}F^{ab}D_b T
(-2b_a\sqrt{1-b^2}+D_a b^2)=O(x^{1/2}).
\end{equation}
 This imposes condition on $T(z,\bar{z} )$
\begin{equation}
\label{3.11}
[-(T-T_{00})\sqrt{1-b^2} +\frac{1}{4}F^{ab}D_b T
(-2b_{a}\sqrt{1-b^2}+D_a b^2)]_{r=0}=0
.\end{equation}
Eq.(\ref{3.11}) for $T(z,\bar{z} )$  is solved in Appendix A.
From ondition (\ref{3.11a}) it follows that the generator of supertranslations in the
near-horizon region
has the following stracture
\begin{equation}
\label{3.13}
\chi_T =O(x^0 )\partial_t +O(x)\partial_x +O(x^0 ) \partial_a
.\end{equation}
It is seen that the generator is of the form found in Sect. 3, and its
action preserves
 the near-horizon behavior of all the metric components.

Transformations  (\ref{3.1}) and (\ref{3.6}) form a commutative
algebra under the modified
bracket \cite{comp2}
\begin{equation}
\label{3.12}
[\xi_1 ,\xi_2 ]_{mod} =[\xi_1 ,\xi_2 ] -\delta_{T_1}\xi_2 +\delta_{T_2}\xi_1 .
\end{equation}

\section{Surface charge of asymptotic horizon symmetries}

In this section, first, we calculate the variation of the surface charge
 corresponding to the asymptotic horizon symmetries, and, next, discuss
 conditions on the form of the metric at the horizon which allow for
integrating  the variation of the charge over the space of metrics
to a closed form. We consider a particular example of such metrics.

We use the short notations of Sect. 3:
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{5.1}
\begin{array}{c} {}\\gamma_{mn}=\\{}\\{}\end{array}
\left|\begin{array}{cccc}-\bar{g}_{tt} x &0&0&0\\
0 & \bar{g}_{rr}/x & \bar{g}_{rz}/\sqrt{x} & \bar{g}_{r\bar{z}}/\sqrt{x}\\
0 & \bar{g}_{rz}/\sqrt{x} & \bar{g}_{zz} & \bar{g}_{z\bar{z}}\\
0 & \bar{g}_{r\bar{z}}/\sqrt{x} & \bar{g}_{z\bar{z}} & \bar{g}_{\bar{z}\z}
\end{array}\right|
\qquad
\begin{array}{c} {}\\gamma^{mn}=\\{}\\{}\end{array}
\left|\begin{array}{cccc}-\bar{g}^{tt}/ x &0&0&0\\
0 & \bar{g}^{rr}x & \bar{g}^{rz}\sqrt{x} & \bar{g}^{r\bar{z}}\sqrt{x}\\
0 & \bar{g}^{rz}\sqrt{x} & \bar{g}^{zz} & \bar{g}^{z\bar{z}}\\
0 & \bar{g}^{r\bar{z}}\sqrt{x} & \bar{g}^{z\bar{z}} & \bar{g}^{\bar{z}\z}
\end{array}\right|
,\end{eqnarray}
where $\bar{g}_{mn}= g_{mn,k}$ and $g_{mn,k}$  are the leading-order in $x$ parts
of metric components.
The elements of the corresponding  matrix  of metric
  variations calculated in
Sect. 3 are denoted as  $\delta{g}_{mn} =h_{mn},\,\,\delta\bar{g}_{mn} =\bar{h}_{mn}$.
The inverse  variations are defined as
$h^{mn}={g}^{mk}h_{kl}{g}^{ln},$
and the trace of variations is $h =h_{mn}g^{mn}=\bar{h}$.

Variation of the surface charge of the asymptotic symmetries is calculated
following \cite{bar_br}
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{5.4}
\not\delta_\chi \hat{Q} (g,h) =\frac{1}{4\pi}\int (d^2 x)_{ab}\sqrt{g^{(2)}}
\left[\chi^a\nabla^b h -\chi^a\nabla_\sigma h^{b\sigma} +\chi_\sigma\nabla^a h^{b\sigma}+
\frac{1}{2}h\nabla^a\chi^b \right.\\\nonumber
+\left.\frac{1}{2}h^{a\sigma}(\nabla^b \chi_\sigma -\nabla_\sigma \chi^b)-
 (r\leftrightarrow t) \right].
\end{eqnarray}
In present case
 $(d^2 x)_{ab}= (1/4) \varepsilon_{abmn}dx^m dx^n$ where $ m , n =z,\bar{z}  $ and $a,b =r,\, t$.
Integration is performed over the sphere of the radius  $r=2+x$, determinant
of the metric is
$ g^{(2)}=g_{zz}g_{\bar{z}\z}-g^2_{z\bar{z}}$, where ${g}^{(2)}=\bar{g}^{(2)}/(2 +x)^2 $.
The limit $x=0$ is taken
 at the and of the calculation.

Calculating contributions of the leading-order in $x\rightarrow 0$
parts of the five terms in the
integrand of (\ref{5.4}), we obtain
\begin{eqnarray}
\nonumber
&{}& 1.\quad\chi^r\nabla^t h-\chi^t\nabla^r h =\chi^r g^{tt}\partial_t h -
\chi^t g^{rr}\partial_r h - \chi^t g^{ra}\partial_a h =O(x^{1/2}). \\\nonumber
&{}& 2.\quad -\chi^r\nabla_s h^{ts} +
\chi^t \nabla_s h^{rs}=- \chi^r \nabla_t h^{tt}+
\chi^t(\nabla_r h^{rr} +\nabla_a h^{ra}+ \nabla_t h^{rt})=       \\\nonumber
&{}&\left(-\bar{g}^{rr}\frac{\bar{h}_{tt}}{\bar{g}_{tt}} +\bar{h}^{rr}\right)+O(x^{1/2}) .\\\nonumber
&{}& 3.\quad \chi_s \nabla^r h^{ts}-\chi_s \nabla^t h^{rs} =
 \chi_t \nabla^r h^{tt} -\chi_r\nabla^t  h^{rr}-\chi_a\nabla^t  h^{ra}=\\\nonumber
&{}&\frac{\chi^t_0}{2}\left(\bar{g}^{rr}
\frac{\bar{h}_{tt}}{\bar{g}_{tt}}-\bar{h}^{rr}\right)+O(x^{1/2}).
\\\nonumber
&{}& 4.\quad \frac{h}{2}(\nabla^r\chi^t -\nabla^t\chi^r )=
\frac{h}{2}\left[(\bar{g}^{rr}\nabla_r+\bar{g}^{ra}\nabla_a )\chi^t -\bar{g}^{tt}
\nabla_t \chi^t\right] = \frac{\chi^t_0}{2} \bar{g}^{rr}h+ O(x^{1/2}).\\\nonumber
&{}& 5.\quad \frac{1}{2}(h^{rs}\nabla^t\chi_s -h^{ts}\nabla^r\chi_s)=
\frac{1}{2}(h^{rr}\nabla^t\chi_r +h^{ra}\nabla^t\chi_a-h^{tt}\nabla^r\chi_t)=\\\nonumber
&{}&\frac{\chi^t_0}{4}\bar{g}^{rr}\left[\frac{\bar{h}_{tt}}{\bar{g}_{tt}}-
(\bar{h}^{rr}\bar{g}_{rr}\bar{g}^{rr}+
\bar{h}^{ra}\bar{g}_{ar}\bar{g}^{rr}+
\bar{h}^{rr}\bar{g}_{ra}\bar{g}^{ar}+\bar{h}^{ra}\bar{g}_{ab}\bar{g}^{br})\right]+ O(x^{1/2})=
\\\nonumber
&{}&=-\frac{\chi^t_0}{4}\left( \bar{g}^{rr}\frac{\bar{h}_{tt}}{\bar{g}_{tt}}+
\bar{h}^{rr} \right)+O(x^{1/2}).
\\\label{5.5}
&{}& 6. \quad -\frac{1}{2}(h^{rs}\nabla_s \chi^t -h^{ts}\nabla_s \chi^r )=
-\frac{1}{2}(h^{rr}\nabla_r \chi^t  +h^{ra}\nabla_a \chi^t -h^{tt}\nabla_t \chi^t )=\\
\nonumber
&{}&-\frac{\chi_0^t}{4}\left(\bar{g}^{rr}\frac{\bar{h}_{tt}}{\bar{g}_{tt}}
+\bar{h}^{rr}\right)+O(x^{1/2}).
\end{eqnarray}
In  item 2 we have used that
$$
\nabla_r h^{rr}=\partial_r h^{rr} +2\Gamma^r_{rr}h^{rr}+2\Gamma^r_{ra}h^{ra}=
\bar{h}^{rr} -\bar{h}^{rr} (\bar{g}^{rr}\bar{g}_{rr}+\bar{g}^{ra}\bar{g}_{ar}) +O(x^{1/2})=O(x^{1/2})
,$$
and in item 5 we used the identities
\begin{eqnarray}
\nonumber
&{}&\bar{g}^{rr}\bar{g}_{rr}+\bar{g}^{ra}\bar{g}_{ar} =1,\\\nonumber
&{}&\bar{g}^{rr}\bar{g}_{ra}+\bar{g}^{rb}\bar{g}_{ba} =0.
\end{eqnarray}
Substituting  the expressions (\ref{5.5}) in (\ref{5.4}), we obtain
\begin{equation}
\label{5.7}
\not\delta_\chi Q (g,h)= \frac{1}{16\pi}\int dz d\bar{z} \, \sqrt{\bar{g}^{(2)}}\frac{\chi^t_0}{2}\left(
\bar{g}^{rr}h -\bar{h}^{rr}-\bar{g}^{rr}\frac{ \bar{h}_{tt}}{\bar{g}_{tt}}\right).
\end{equation}
The combination in the integrand can be presented as
\begin{equation}
\label{5.9}
\bar{g}^{rr}\bar{h} -\bar{h}^{rr}-\bar{g}^{rr}\frac{ \bar{h}_{tt}}{\bar{g}_{tt}}
=(\bar{g}^{rr}\bar{g}^{ab} -\bar{g}^{ra}\bar{g}^{rb})\bar{h}_{ab}.
\end{equation}
Denoting determinant of the 3D part of the metric
as $ \bar{g}^{(3)}$, and using the identity
$$
\bar{g}^{rr}\bar{g}^{ab} -\bar{g}^{ra}\bar{g}^{rb}=\bar{g}_{ab}\bar{g}^{(3)}
,$$
we can write (\ref{5.9}) as
\begin{equation}
\label{5.10}
(\bar{g}^{rr}\bar{g}^{ab} -\bar{g}^{ra}\bar{g}^{rb})\bar{h}_{ab}=
(\bar{g}_{zz}\delta \bar{g}_{\bar{z}\z} +\bar{g}_{\bar{z}\z}\delta \bar{g}_{zz}-
2\bar{g}_{z\bar{z}}\delta \bar{g}_{z\bar{z}} )/\bar{g}^{(3)}=\frac{\delta \, \bar{g}^{(2)}}{ \bar{g}^{(3)}}
\end{equation}
A sufficient condition of integrability of (\ref{5.7}) is $ \bar{g}^{(3)}=
f( \bar{g}^{(2)} )$, where $f$ is an integrable function.
This case is realized, if supertranslation field depends
on $|z^2|$, or, in spherical
 coordinates $\theta ,\varphi $, only on $\theta$, i.e. $C(z,\bar{z} ) =C(|z|^2 )= \tilde{C}(\theta )$.
In this case, because of the identity $\bar{g}_{rr}\bar{g}_{\theta\th} -{\bar{g}_{r\theta}}^2=
\bar{g}_{\theta\th}$ (see Appendix B), we have $ \bar{g}^{(3)}=
(\bar{g}_{rr}\bar{g}_{\theta\th} -{\bar{g}_{r\theta}}^2 )\bar{g}_{\varphi\p} =\bar{g}^{(2)} $.
 The charge is
\begin{equation}
\label{5.11}
\hat{Q} = \frac{1}{16\pi}\int {\chi_0^t}(\bar{g}_{\theta\th}\bar{g}_{\varphi\p})^{1/2}d\theta d\varphi \sin\theta
+\hat{Q}_0.
\end{equation}
With $\chi_0^t$ independent of $\theta$ the charge is proportional
to the surface of the horizon,
i.e. to the entropy of the black hole.

\section{Conclusions}

In this paper we studied the near-horizon symmetries
of the metric of a black hole containing
  supertranslation field.
To study general transformations preserving the near-horizon form of
the metric, we transformed the metric to a coordinate system in which the
horizon of the metric is located at the surface $r=2M$.
Solving the geodesic equations for null geodesics, it was shown
that the surface $r=2M$ is the surface of infinite redshift.
We reviewed the action of the generators of supertranslations
preserving the gauge of the metric
and found a class of supertranslations which also preserve the
near-horizon form of the metric.

Next, we determined the form of generators of asymptotic horizon symmetries
preserving the  near-horizon form of  the metric with supertranslation field.
Variations of the metric components under the action of generators of
near-horizon symmetries were obtained. Using the
 variations of the metric components, we obtained variation
of the surface charge corresponding to the asymptotic horizon symmetries.

Studying the form of the variation of the surface charge, we found
a sufficient condition of integrability of the variation of the surface charge
over the space of metrics to a closed expression.
In the case of metrics with the supertranslation field depending on $|z^2|$, or,
in spherical variables $\theta , \varphi$,
 with dependence only on $\theta$, it was shown that
due to specific relations between the metric components,
it is  possible
to integrate the variation of the surface charge and obtain the charge of
horizon symmetries in a closed form.  The charge is proportional to the
horizon surface and can be interpreted as entropy of the black hole.

Horizon symmetries of a class of metrics with the near-horizon form
\begin{equation}
\label{1.7}
ds^2 = -2\kappa \rho dv^2 +2dv\,d\rho +2\rho h_a ( x) dv\,dx^a +
(\omega_{ab}(x)+\rho \lambda_{ab}(x))dx^a dx^b,\qquad x^a =z,\,\bar{z}
\end{equation}
were previously studied in many papers, as examples, in
\cite{carlip,koga,hotta,donnay41,donnay4,akh,set}.
 Horizon of the metric is located at $\rho =0$, and $\rho$ is a distance of the
surface $\rho =const$ from the horizon.
The metric is written in the gauge $g_{\rho\r}=g_{\rho a}=0$.

In the near-horizon region the metric components are
expanded in power series in $\rho$ \cite{booth}.
In contrast to this case, the metrics considered in the present paper
 are expanded in series of $(r-2M)^{1/2}$.
In the limit of vanishing
 supertranslation field the terms with fractional powers of $r-2M$
vanish.

The charge of the asymptotic horizon symmetries for metrics (\ref{1.7}),
in the case $\kappa =const$
was obtained in \cite{donnay41,donnay4} in a form
$$
Q=\frac{1}{16\pi G}\int dz d\bar{z} \sqrt{\gamma}(2 T\kappa\Omega-y^a\theta_a\Omega )
.$$
Here $T(z,\bar{z} )$ is a part of the asymptotic Killing vector $\chi^v (z,\bar{z} ,v)$,
and the metric
component $\omega_{ab}$ has diagonal form $\omega_{ab} =\gamma_{ab}\Omega $.
The volume $\sqrt{\gamma}\,\Omega\, dz d\bar{z}$ is an analog of the volume
$\sqrt{ \bar{g}_{\theta\th}\bar{g}_{\varphi\p}}\,\sin\theta d\theta d\varphi$ in (\ref{5.11}),
and $T$ is an analog of $ \chi^t$. It is seen that the corresponding
structures of the charges in both cases
are similar.

The  near-horizon transformations for the pure Schwarzschild  metric
were considered in
\cite{koga} and refs. therein. In the limit of vanishing supertranslation field
the results of these papers and the present paper are identical.

F^a = \frac{1}{2}F^{ac}(b_c + \partial_c \sqrt{1-b^2})|_{r=2}
$$
Following the general rules of
solving the differential equations with partial derivatives \cite{step},
we consider  a function
$W(T,z, \bar{z} )$ satisfying the equation
\begin{equation}
\label{b3}
T\frac{\partial W}{\partial T} + F^z \frac{\partial W}{\partial z} + F^{\bar{z}} \frac{\partial W}{\partial \bar{z}}=0
.\end{equation}
 Eq.(\ref{b3}) is solved by writing  the system of ordinary differential equations
\begin{equation}
\label{b4}
\frac{d T}{T} =\frac{d z}{F^z}= \frac{d \bar{z}}{F^{\bar{z}} }
.\end{equation}
Let the independent first integrals of the Eq. (\ref{b4}) be
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{b5}
\psi_1 (T,z,\bar{z} ) =C_1, \qquad \psi_2 (T,z,\bar{z} ) =C_2.
\end{eqnarray}
The general solution of the Eq. (\ref{b3}) for  $W(T, z,\bar{z} )$ is
\begin{equation}
W=f(\psi_1 ,\psi_2 ),
 \end{equation}
where $f$ is an arbitrary smooth function.
The function $T(z,\bar{z} )$ is determined from the equation
\begin{equation}
f(\psi_1 ,\psi_2 )=0.
\end{equation}

\section{Appendix B}
\setcounter{equation}{0}
\renewcommand{\theequation}{B\arabic{equation}}

If supertranslation field depends $C(z, \bar{z} )$ depends only on $|z|^2$,
 it is convenient to parametrise the unit sphere by $\theta ,\varphi$
coordinates. In these coordinates the metric  (\ref{2.16}) takes a form
\begin{eqnarray}\nonumber
&{}&ds^2 =g_{\mu\nu} dx^\mu dx^\nu
=-V dt^2 +\frac{dr^2 \bar{g}_{rr}}{V} +\frac{2drd\theta \bar{g}_{r\theta}}{V^{1/2}}+
d\theta^2 \bar{g}_{\theta\th}+ d\varphi^2 \sin^2\theta\bar{g}_{\varphi\p}\\\nonumber
&{}& =-V dt^2 +  \frac{dr^2}{V(1-b^2 )} +2drd\theta\frac{br (\sqrt{1-b^2}-b' )}{(1-b^2 )V^{1/2}}
+\\\label{a1}
&{}& + d\theta^2 r^2\frac{ (\sqrt{1-b^2}-b' )^2}{(1-b^2 )} +d\varphi^2 r^2\sin^2\theta (b\cot\theta
-\sqrt{1-b^2 })^2
,\end{eqnarray}
where $b =2\partial_\theta C(\theta )/K$.
It is explicitly verified that  the metric components are connected by a relation
\begin{equation}
\label{a2}
{g}_{rr}{g}_{\theta\th}- {g}_{r\theta}^2 =\frac{{g}_{\theta\th}}{V}.
\end{equation}

"in the law - no human" - a personal report on the BREAK ISOLATION Refugee Camp 2012
Fri, 09/14/2012 - 23:10 — kandolo
SOLIDARITY! KARAWANE!
My personal reflection on the BREAK ISOLATION - Refugee Summer Camp 2012 in Erfurt
Bericht von Moema auf deutsch
Me, Moema Petri Romao, who's just become 18 years old, was there this year. Four days, from 23th till 27th of August I have participated in workshops and discussions there. So I see, I had learned a lot about colonial injustice and imperialist oppression. But I did not learn it, by listening to an abstract lecture, but in the direct communication with humans, through the voices of refugees and refugee activists, who told their experiences made in the imperialistic system in the sessions.
We live in a society, which is parted in classes. We live in a society, which gives certain people privileges and others not. The privileged ones have the power and so they are in the position to maintain a system that is based on the oppression of migrants, workers, refugees, women and many others. We also live in a world, which is divided in "first world countries" and "third world countries". These categories refer to rich- or poorness. In a logical sense this can only be understood by the fact that the third world has ¾ of the land and people, but the most of the economic richness and wealth is controlled by the industrialized nations, who make just ¼ of the world population. We live in a world, in which Europe and the USA alias the industrialized nations have their fling, exploit resources and people, take and steal what they get in Africa, Asia, and South America to enrich themselves.
Wealth distribution in 2015, source www.worldmapper.org
In schools they teach and call it world history: The colonisation of Africa, Asia, Arabia, Latin-America through European powers. The separation of the continents and the willfairy drawing up of borders – all through the European powers. The "democratization" and "civilisation" of societies and structures of different peoples which had lasted and functioned for centuries - through European powers. It is the history of oppression and defamation of cultured peoples. What is left is a list of UN World Cultural Heritage. But the real heirs cannot derive benefit, because they were bereft of their cultural heritage and their own languages were suffocated in centuries of imperialism.
So, it's me, Moema. My father is from Brazil, my mother from Germany. I know my roots that reach deeper than my parents' generation. In my veins flows the blood of them all, of oppressors and oppressed. Therefore I am also a result of imperialism. I am rooted in Martinique, French Guyana, France, Brazil, Germany and – Africa.
But I don't know from where in Africa exactly. My ancestors came as slaves to Brazil and they were not allowed to contact their home countries and not allowed to live their cultural traditions. So the Portuguese colonizers stole our past from me and my ancestors.
What about those people, who now come actually, nowadays from Africa to Europe? The European exploiters first took their past, then they destroyed their present with agent's wars, starvation, poverty and environmental pollution and here in Europe they steal them their future: On their way to Europe they let them drown in the sea and or rot in lagers without any kind of status of acceptance and freedom, and thus push them into suicide.
It is a process of raising consciousness that imperialism has never seized, even if in history lessons thez teach us that it is an abstract historical term and belongs to the past: These abstract terms are part of now.
It is a process of raising conscious that these structures, which shaped the thinking of our ancestors and thus our own till today, still exist and have a long history.
It is a process of raising conscious that we cannot wait to live our human rights only because they were promised to us from the "top". Finally they are called "natural" rights, as something which is by nature to everybody.
It is a process of raising conscious, to see, that the wars which we fight with other "nations" as well as the hatred and the borders between nationalities are mainly a result of imperialism.
Imperialism, colonialism, capitalism are systems of oppression and exploitation of many by few. So we have to solidarize with each other if we want to hold on these fights against these structures. We have to understand these structures of the past and the present and the connection between our experiences and those of others.
I know I am just scratching on the surface. But I realized that there is a lot under it. This is a chewy mass and to interpenetrate and to break it, it sucks a lot of strength. But: I am thirsty and I can see your thirst in your eyes, too. For change, for movement and for future. As chewy and dark the clump is, the movement of the "Caravan" and "The Voice" have – in a many years lasting struggle – set off in the right direction. At the end the many united hands of all of our friends have become strong fists to destroy the isolation!
Here is a poem, that expresses my impression of the borders of europe, asylum law and our empowerment.
on the ocean
sunken in ruins
in the law
no human
let the water flow
to still
to catch the fire
glorify yourself
tiredness is human
work is hard
sink in the ocean
on the ruins
is water flowing
humans are drinking
thirst remains
because in the law

Ross W. LeBaron claimed to have "the patriarchal keys of the lineage of the Prophet Joseph". He considered his heirship to the Mormon Prophet "the highest title of birth, and the second order of priesthood," as he stated to Joseph White Musser in 1951. Lebaron believed the Mormon Fundamentalist movement, on the other hand, operated under "the keys of the lineage of Hyrum". In 1985, LeBaron explained his views of the Fundamentalist priesthood authority in the following manner:
The only possible claim to the sealing power, by the Polygamists after 1890, was through the sealing keys of Hyrum Smith. Those keys were conferred upon John Smith by Brigham Young.

This is piece of Info is very interesting. Thanks for writing and posting it — just one more proof of my uncles' "mental" claims, in case there are those who actually can't/couldn't see through my Uncle Wesley, et Al, in the first place.

Stephany,
As we know religious beliefs are very subjective, not facts that can be proven. Because of that, I doubt religious beliefs could be used to "diagnose" mental illness. Maybe I'm wrong.
Now let's assume for minute the possibility Ross did have a cognitive/ emotional disorder. Had he lived in a world in which such problem could be diagnosed and treated, would his worldview be any different? We certainly could speculatw either way. We are blessed to live in a time when mental suffering is recognized and, for at least part of the population, more likely to be treated. My personal religious belief is that someone may have a mental issue and still be able to act as a creative human being, and even communicate with God.
Thanks for commenting and for so often refering to our blog!
Thanks for taking the time to give me your perspective on my comments. It is interesting and helps me to understand better where you are coming from. Take care and here's wishing you and yours all the best!
Jason Wharton says:
The keys of the Priesthood are what went to the Priesthood Council headed initially by John Taylor and then to John Woolley. This is the mantle of authority referred to as the "medium of mine anointed". While people can be sealed, that sealing still has to be ratified by the Lord's Anointed Prophet in order to become binding in the eternities. The law governing the successorship of this mantle of authority is clearly spelled out in D&C 43:3-5. This is something the Lord reserves exclusively to himself and performs through his anointed, even in the case where he has "taken" them from the people. Therefore, nobody can claim the keys of the Priesthood via some patrilineal basis. At most they could perhaps lay claim on the office of King since historically that was a patrilineal succession, provided the Lord gave a revelation through the Lord's Anointed Prophet acknowledging the son as the appropriate heir to the throne.
J C says:
John Woolley never was the head of any "Priesthood Council". The "Council of Friends" is a myth. It never existed until Lorin Woolley created it. We now have access to the diaries of George Q. Cannon, Wilford Woodruff, and virtually every apostle from the 1890s. There isn't a single allusion to any Council of Friends or a special priesthood body outside of the Church at all in any of those records. It was the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve who continued to perpetuate plural marriage after 1890, John Woolley didn't start participating until about 1910. Prove me wrong. I'd love to see some solid EVIDENCE, not you trying to read your mythical council into the revelations from the 1880s.
At most, John Woolley received a charge from John Taylor to perpetuate Celestial Marriage no matter what, and sealing authority from Joseph F. Smith, and passed that commission and authority on to his son, Lorin Woolley. Then Lorin Woolley created the Council of Friends. Relatives of John Woolley recalled that he said he would never preside over anyone except in his own home. He was faithful to his commission to perpetuate plural marriage, it was his son who had delusions of grandeur and was a compulsive liar. (See "The Myth-maker of Mormon Fundamentalism: How Lorin Woolley Transformed History into Myth" on Mormon Polygamy Documents).
Patriarchal Succession is something everyone in the Succession Crisis acknowledged (Especially Brigham Young) except James J. Strang. Ironically, Strang claimed to be the appointed successor, and also claimed that the only patrilinear authority was temporal kingship. The vast majority of testimony about Succession disagreed with his position, he had no clue what Joseph Smith taught on the matter.
Cheryl Bruno says:
I just ran across an interesting piece of information re the Council of Friends. Alpheus Cutler claimed that he was the seventh of a special Quorum of Seven. (I am assuming part of the Council of Fifty?) Other members were Joseph and Hyrum Smith (numbers 1 & 2), and Uncle John Smith, who was number 6.
Mike Quinn also believes that there was a Quorum of Seven which was part of the Council of Fifty. I'm not sure what his evidence is.
Anyway, that means there is at least "a single allusion" to this priesthood body.

Kirk leader urges men to have cancer check
by Cameron Brooks
April 23, 2015, 7:30 am Updated: April 23, 2015, 10:28 am
The Rev Angus Morrison and his wife Marion.
The incoming moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland has urged men who fear they might have prostate cancer to get checked out.
The Rev Angus Morrison, who was born and raised in the Highlands, revealed he had beaten the disease which led to him being unable to take up the honorary post last year, making him the first person in history to step aside.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in Scotland and one in 11 people are at risk of developing it.
Mr Morrison, 61, who is married to Marion and has four children, said he regretted not consulting doctors sooner.
"I am a man who is very slow to go to the doctor with anything and I would just encourage anyone with worries about the same sort of thing to go as soon as possible and have it checked it," he added.
"It can be easily treated and the important thing is to have it treated in good time."
Mr Morrison, who was born in Glencoe and brought up in Oban, is now well enough to take up the honorary 12-month role when the General Assembly meets in Edinburgh on May 16.
The Gaelic speaker, who will take over from the Right Rev John Chalmers, paid tribute to staff at Ninewells Hospital in Dundee who he said were confident they had been successful in treating him.
"I was overwhelmed by the number of people all over the Church who wrote to assure me of their prayers," said Mr Morrison.
"I fully believe that this had its own impact on the situation – prayer is power."
Mr Morrison, who leads the parish of Orwell and Portmoak, near Kinross in Perthshire, said withdrawing from the role of moderator was not easy but it was the right move.
He said he was "humbled and indebted" to General Assembly commissioners who last year decided he should be asked to serve in 2015-16.
Mr Morrison, who will be the first Gaelic speaking moderator for 46 years, added that he would be championing the work of hospices during his time in office.
A spokesman for support charity Prostate Scotland said the disease was often curable and there had been an increase in the number of men surviving it.
"However, more that needs to be done to encourage early diagnosis.
"It is very helpful to have someone of the stature of Mr Morrison encourage awareness and urge men with symptoms to seek to have the symptoms checked early."
There were 2,857 men diagnosed with prostate cancer in Scotland in 2012 and 876 men died from it in 2013.
Survival rates have increased with 85% of men now surviving it – death rates from prostate cancer have fallen by 11.3% over the 10 years to 2013.
Recent NHS projections suggest that the incidence of prostate cancer may increase over the ten years between 2010 and 2020 by up to 48%.
Men with fathers or brothers who have had or had prostate cancer are more at risk.
Men from African /Caribbean backgrounds are more at risk of prostate cancer than other ethnic groups;
Common symptoms can be frequency of passing urine, especially at night, pain, dribbling, urgency and hesitancy.
Not all problems with the prostate will cancer and men with symptoms should seek the advice of their GP.
The Rev Angus Morrison

what will be my best choice for processor for my kf 600s i just purchased ...... bbe 48 for the money and also where can i get good used flybars let me know mlw..
Does this scare anyone besides me?
Yes, malformed sentence structure and poor grammar can be scary.
what will be best choice for kf 600s the ux8800 or lm26?
You missed the point: buying a BBE processor because it's cheap (regardless of its suitability for the job) and then asking about flyware. I foresee the suspension of loads above humans being done by someone ill-prepared for the responsibility.
Have fun, dodge the speakers.
thanks for the reply i think this is a site that lets un supervised kids try to answer the ? not talking about you..
Just because you don't like an answer doesn't make it wrong, and when asking questions on a public forum you get all kinds of responses that you probably didn't anticipate.
Well I think I'd be somewhat qualified to answer your question as we own and use KF600.
What they said. It helps if your 600s are consistent with all the other 600s out there.

HRW: ICC prosecutor's visit to Libya rekindled hope for long-delayed justice
The recent visit to Libya by the International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor, Karim Khan, has reignited hope for long-delayed justice for the victims of Al-Kaniyat (Al-Kani) militia that controlled Tarhouna during the 2019-2020 battle for Tripoli, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said on Sunday.
"If the Libyan authorities cannot bring a measure of domestic accountability for the horrors against the people of Tarhouna, then the ICC prosecutor should investigate the crimes that fall within the court's jurisdiction," said Hanan Salah, associate director at Human Rights Watch.
Salah added that relatives of the hundreds who were arbitrarily detained and tortured, or disappeared and later found in mass graves are still waiting for justice.
"Members of the militia and their affiliates detained, tortured, disappeared, and executed people in at least four detention facilities while they controlled the town of Tarhouna. They sided with the Libyan Armed Arab Forces under the command of Khalifa Haftar, in attacking the UN-recognized Government of National Accord (GNA). No one has been brought to trial for the abuses." HRW added.
HRW indicated that Khan offered technical assistance from the ICC with forensic work, and while in Benghazi, he met with Haftar and told him that the ICC had received information and evidence of allegations of crimes committed by the Libyan Arab Armed Forces (LAAF) and that those "would be and are being investigated."
In his report to the UN Security Council, the ICC prosecutor did not make any announcements regarding specific cases the court was investigating in Libya.
"Senior government officials in the GNA and previous Tripoli-based administrations, and LAAF Commanders, including senior LAAF leadership, may be criminally liable for war crimes of their subordinates in Tarhouna, if they knew or should have known of the crimes and failed to take measures to prevent them or hand over those responsible for prosecution." HRW remarked.

Reviving civility
June 27 2016 by K. Allan Blume, BR Editor
I read a lot of online articles and blogs, but I avoid the comment sections because many are filled with the verbal sewage of vulgarity, false accusations and ruthless attacks. Twitter posts, Facebook comments and other forms of social media carry their own share of violent, hostile and offensive language also.
It appears to me that Americans live with high levels of anger and, as a result, have abandoned basic civility.
In the first part of this editorial (published June 18, 2016) I raised some concerns about the need to restore civility in public conversation and behavior. I shared part of Mark DeMoss' story that described his concerns about the lack of civility, especially in the political arena. He is the founder of DeMoss, a public relations firm based in Atlanta, Ga., that specializes in faith-based organizations.
You may recall news reports that DeMoss stepped down from the executive committee of Liberty University's board of trustees in April citing differences with the school's president over the public endorsement of presidential candidate Donald Trump. He told The Washington Post that Trump's uncivil behavior was a rejection of the university's values and those of its founder, Jerry Falwell Sr. DeMoss declined further comment on the rift.
DeMoss told me why he launched The Civility Project in 2009, then closed down the effort two years later.
While he is still passionate about civility, the main reason DeMoss dissolved the project was the lack of time to do it right and make it successful. "I think we were successful in some ways, but either I needed to put more money and staff into the project or dissolve it. I didn't want to do it half-way," he said.
"I didn't dissolve it because only three people signed the pledge. The fact that only three signed it would be a compelling reason to keep going," he added.
There are serious long-term consequences to unchecked incivility, according to DeMoss.
"I think there is a dumbing down of society to the point where fewer people can make an articulate case for something. All they can do is shout and hurl insults," he said. "Condoning incivility is equivalent to saying 'Anything goes.'
"As a parent, if my children see me behave in an uncivil way to a waiter in a restaurant, or an employee at the Delta ticket counter, or somebody in traffic, how would I punish my child who treated their teacher or another student the same way? I look at television and a presidential candidate is calling other people 'losers' or 'morons.' I don't see anything good in that. I don't think it's a big leap to move from common incivility to violence. Incivility says if I don't get my way, I will resort to any tactic to get my way."
The current political climate is puzzling to DeMoss. He said politics as a whole "may be one of the worst examples of incivility we see today. ... I couldn't have a successful PR firm and behave the way a lot of people do in politics. Nobody would hire me, and nobody would work for me, frankly.
"Political candidates are the only product in America that we sell by telling you the other product stinks or the other guy is a bum," he explained. "We don't market cars that way; we don't market hotels that way. We don't market any product by saying, 'Buy this product because the other product stinks.' If the only case you can give me for voting for you is that the other guy is a bum, that's a worse reflection on you than it is on your opponent."
Surprisingly DeMoss finds a refreshing exception in the weekday television show "Morning Joe" on MSNBC. He admitted that most readers of the Biblical Recorder are not likely to watch the show, but he calls it a "shining example of civil debate and disagreement." The program has a panel of liberals and conservatives, and for three hours in the morning it carries what he calls, "the best political conversation on television in my opinion."
I asked DeMoss if he considered reviving The Civility Project. Yes, he has thought about it, but he said, "I still have the dilemma of time and attention to devote to it. ... All I was trying to do was to generate some conversation and debate around the subject, and we did accomplish that, but it could use a lot more. The thing I am most disappointed about in not continuing is I do know there are a lot of people who feel like me, but don't know what to do. It's a pretty helpless and hopeless feeling."
Those who favor civility are "swimming upstream" according to DeMoss. "But I think there was a day when you would have been swimming upstream if you behaved like Donald Trump."
Institute for Civility in Government
There are other people that share DeMoss' concerns. I spoke with Cassandra Dahnke about her leadership at the Institute for Civility in Government (IFCG), based in Houston, Texas (instituteforcivility.org). Dahnke and Tomas Spath are Presbyterian ministers who founded the organization.
"When we launched in 1998 nobody could understand why we were concerned about civility," Dahnke said. "People said, 'Why don't you work on something important like hunger?' We said if we can't talk with one another, we can't do anything else."
The institute's website says they "interact directly with elected officials, staff, and constituents, offering models that cut through partisan noise by emphasizing active listening, tolerance, and the importance of claiming one's own needs without degrading the needs of others."
It is not affiliated with a specific religion or faith group, and does not take a position on issues. "In the context of faith we remind people that Jesus said to 'love God with all of your heart, soul, mind and strength and to love your neighbor as yourself.' I cannot find a single exemption to that in scripture," she added.
The organization believes the big problems of the day demand that people engage with each another in a civil way. "This is fundamental to our life together in community," Dahnke said. "We have to be able to do this because we know we are not going to agree. Whether you are talking about the color of the carpet in the sanctuary or how to do Social Security, we have different ideas, and we're not going to agree. But we have to be able to talk with one another rather than just bashing one another."
They developed a definition. "Civility is claiming and caring for one's identity, needs and beliefs without degrading someone else's in the process."
People do not have to agree on everything, she said, but we have to find a way to explain our differences and move forward without getting submerged in destructive battles with each other.
IFCG leads workshops, seminars and student forums. They resist the temptation to be a watchdog organization that points out when people are misbehaving. When this principle is explained to elected officials, their faces show instant relief, said Dahnke.
She tells leaders, "You're adults and you already know if you're behaving in a civil way or not. People recognize civility when they see it, and they know when it is missing."
Elected officials are afraid of committing to a pledge, she explained, because they know it will be used against them. They resist watchdog groups because they are keenly aware of their own imperfect human nature. So IFCG avoids both strategies.
"Our goal is to create a national movement so that we shift the culture from one of antagonism to one of mutual respect," she said. They hope people who act badly will become the exception rather than the norm.
According to Dahnke hundreds of grassroots organizations have sprung up across the country with the goal of promoting civility. Most are on university campuses or in small communities. They are not typically Christian organizations, but are good-hearted people that want to promote basic standards of civil behavior.
One of those groups is Speak Your Peace, The Civility Project (dsaspeakyourpeace.org). Their key message is to promote nine simple tools for practicing civility from P. M. Forni's book Choosing Civility: Twenty-five Rules of Considerate Conduct. Forni is one of the six board members for IFCG. Often called "the guru of civility," he is cofounder of the Johns Hopkins Civility Project and a long-time professor at Johns Hopkins University.
Speak Your Peace has been influential in the passage of resolutions on civility in several cities and towns. Their goal is to promote civil discourse in local governments and help cities find positive resolutions to community issues. The movement focuses on nine tools of civility: pay attention, listen, be inclusive, do not gossip, show respect, be agreeable, apologize, give constructive criticism, and take responsibility.
While I do not believe these nine tools are the best statements of biblical civility, they clearly embrace biblical values. I commend individuals and organizations who are motivated to encourage decency in conversation and behavior.
But I am concerned that those of us who are committed to live by biblical standards are not doing more to lead the way in this discussion. Civilization is rooted in biblical values. All of the basic standards of civilized behavior are biblical in nature. Without these standards of decency, barbaric behavior flourishes. I believe that is exactly what we are now witnessing. What are we going to do about it?
