  # An object is blank if it's false, empty, or a whitespace string.
  # For example, +false+, '', '   ', +nil+, [], and {} are all blank.
  #
  # This simplifies
  #
  #   !address || address.empty?
  #
  # to
  #
  #   address.blank?
  #
  # @return [true, false]

  end

  # Returns the receiver if it's present otherwise returns +nil+.
  # <tt>object.presence</tt> is equivalent to
  #
  #    object.present? ? object : nil
  #
  # For example, something like
  #
  #   state   = params[:state]   if params[:state].present?
  #   country = params[:country] if params[:country].present?
  #   region  = state || country || 'US'
