  - and
```
public static Predicate and(Predicate... predicates)
```
    Creates an AND predicate over all the given component predicates. All the component predicates must evaluate to true for the AND predicate to do so.
    
    Parameters:
    
    predicates - component predicates
    
    Returns:
    
    AND predicate
  - or
```
public static Predicate or(Predicate... predicates)
```
    Creates an OR predicate over all the given component predicates. At least one of the component predicates must evaluate to true for the OR predicate to do so.
    
    Parameters:
    
    predicates - component predicates
    
    Returns:
    
    OR predicate
  - not
```
public static Predicate not(Predicate predicate)
```
    Creates a NOT predicate for the given component predicate. The NOT predicate evaluates to true when the component predicate doesn't, and vice versa.
    
    Parameters:
    
    predicate - component predicate
    
    Returns:
    
    NOT predicate
