Advertisement Sacramento County renters told to move out before Christmas Apartment owners hand out termination notices in order to make renovations Share Shares Copy Link Copy

For tenants at Bell Oaks Apartment in Sacramento County, monthly rent is a blessing hard to come by. But now, it comes with an expiration date. The apartment complex changed ownership and the new property managers issued termination of tenancy notices of either 60 or 90 days. “For us, we’re right now paying $930,” said Michael Monahan, who is renting a two-bedroom unit with his wife. “They’re pulling a Scrooge moment because most of us are actually being told we have to be out, if not by Thanksgiving, then by Christmas.”Tenants said when they reached out to the new management company, listed as BLR Commercial, they were told the notices were issued so that renovations could be made to the property. “There’s no way I can pay first and last month’s rent, security deposit, and another pet deposit,” said tenant Debbie Stollery. “A lot of the people in here are month-to-month.” Tenants also said the management company said they would have first right of refusal once the renovations are completed, but the rent would be higher. “I was told (Monday) that we would have first option to rerent. Unfortunately, my rent would go up $400 a month,” Stollery said. “My Social Security check is $47 more than the rent I am paying now -- and $47 doesn’t cover a $400 increase in rent.”KCRA3 couldn’t reach BLR Commercial for comment, but the former property owner said they sold the apartment earlier this year. The tenants who were issued the notices have lived on the property for years -- and some for decades. They currently are paying month-to-month. The California Apartment Association, which represents roughly 50,000 properties across the state, explained that for month-to-month tenants, the termination of tenancy is legal -- a 30-day notice for tenants residing for less than a year, 60 days for more than a year and 90 days for those on housing assistance, such as Housing Choice Vouchers, also known as Section 8. “There is a shortage of housing,” said CAA Senior Vice President Jim Lofgren. “One of our concerns is some of the new state laws and local ordinances isn’t helping to solve the problem -- and that is we need to increase the supply of housing.”Lofgren especially highlighted AB 1482, which would allow a rent cap and outlines just-cause eviction. The law is currently on Gov. Gavin Newsom's desk.CAA argues it is creating an unintended consequence: disincentivizing property owners to develop more rental units. “I think the game changer is the passage of statewide rent control and we’re starting to see the impact upon that,” Lofgren said. “Under that environment, there are going to be changes in how owners operate, and we also are seeing a lot of owners deciding to leave the industry and invest elsewhere.”The tenants at Bell Oaks said their focus is simply finding the next affordable roof over their head. “I’ll go back on the streets again. Oh besides that, I’m 72 years old and I’m a veteran,” said tenant William Barnett. “They could do whatever they want, the landlords, but I’m thinking about myself -- where am I going to go?”

Topic 1: Know Your Market Value
- Before negotiating with your landlord, it's essential to know what similar apartments in your area are renting for.
- This information can give you leverage when negotiating your rent.

Topic 2: Be Prepared to Move
- If your landlord refuses to lower your rent, be prepared to move to a more affordable housing option.
- Having a backup plan can show your landlord that you're serious about finding affordable housing.

Topic 3: Offer to Sign a Longer Lease
- Landlords may be more willing to negotiate on rent if you're willing to sign a longer lease.
- This can provide stability for the landlord and may result in a lower rent cost for you.

Discussion:
- What are some ways to show your landlord that you're a responsible tenant?
- How can you prepare for a potential move if your landlord won't lower your rent?

Lesson Title: Introduction to Liquid Crystal Displays

Introduction:
Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) are a type of screen used in many electronic devices, including computers, smartphones, and televisions. LCDs use liquid crystals to create images on a screen. In this lesson, we will learn about the basic principles of LCDs and how they work.

Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

**What is a liquid crystal?** A liquid crystal is a substance that has properties between those of conventional liquids and those of solid crystals. It can flow like a liquid but also has an ordered structure like a crystal.

**How do LCDs work?** LCDs use a layer of liquid crystals sandwiched between two glass plates. An electric current is applied to the liquid crystals, which causes them to change shape. This changes the way light passes through the screen, creating an image.

Section 2: Practical Examples

**Real-world applications of LCDs** LCDs are used in many electronic devices, including computer monitors, smartphones, tablets, and televisions. They are also used in digital watches, calculators, and other portable devices.

**Mathematical abstractions** We can represent the behavior of liquid crystals using mathematical equations. For example, we can describe the relationship between the voltage applied to the liquid crystal and the angle it makes with the glass plates.

Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions

**Advantages and disadvantages of LCDs** There are several advantages to using LCDs, such as their low power consumption and ability to display high-quality images. However, they can also be expensive and may not work well in bright light.

**How do LCDs compare to other types of displays?** LCDs are just one type of display technology. Other types include plasma screens, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), and quantum dots. Each type of display has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Glossary:
- Liquid crystal: A substance that has properties between those of conventional liquids and those of solid crystals.
- Electric current: A flow of electric charges.
- Mathematical equation: A statement in mathematics that uses symbols to show the relationship between two variables.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the basics of liquid crystal displays, including how they work and their real-world applications. We also explored some of the advantages and disadvantages of LCDs and compared them to other types of displays. By understanding these concepts, we can apply our knowledge to new problems and continue learning about the fascinating world of electronics.

Lesson: Understanding the Consequences of Nuclear Accidents

**Introduction**

In this lesson, we will learn about the consequences of nuclear accidents and the impact they can have on people and the environment. We will use the novel "Nebo" by Manon Steffan Ros as a case study to understand the effects of a nuclear accident on a small village.

**Section 1: Understanding Nuclear Accidents**

A nuclear accident is an unexpected event that occurs when radiation is released into the environment, often as a result of human error or equipment failure. These accidents can have severe consequences on human health, the environment, and the economy.

**Question:** What are some examples of nuclear accidents that have occurred in history?

**Answer:** Some examples of nuclear accidents include the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in 2011, and the Three Mile Island accident in 1979.

**Section 2: The Impact of Nuclear Accidents**

Nuclear accidents can have severe consequences on human health, the environment, and the economy. Exposure to radiation can cause immediate and long-term health effects, such as burns, radiation sickness, and cancer. The environment can also be affected, with contaminated soil, water, and air posing risks to both human and animal life. Finally, the economy can suffer, with the cost of cleanup and compensation for those affected by the accident.

**Question:** How can nuclear accidents be prevented?

**Answer:** Nuclear accidents can be prevented through proper safety measures, regular maintenance, and strict regulatory oversight. Workers in nuclear facilities should receive proper training and be equipped with the necessary safety equipment to minimize the risk of accidents.

**Section 3: Case Study: Nebo**

In the novel "Nebo," the village of Nebo is affected by a nuclear accident that causes widespread damage and loss of life. The novel explores the impact of the accident on the community, including the physical and emotional trauma experienced by those affected.

**Question:** What are some ways that the community in Nebo could have prepared for a nuclear accident?

**Answer:** The community in Nebo could have prepared for a nuclear accident by developing an emergency plan that includes evacuation routes, shelter-in-place locations, and supplies to last for several days. Regular drills and exercises could have helped ensure that residents were aware of the plan and knew what to do in the event of an accident.

**Conclusion**

Understanding the consequences of nuclear accidents is essential for ensuring public safety and protecting the environment. By studying cases like Nebo, we can learn from the mistakes of the past and work towards preventing future accidents.

**Glossary**

- Nuclear accident: An unexpected event that occurs when radiation is released into the environment.
- Radiation: Energy that comes from atoms and is released in the form of rays or particles.
- Contamination: The presence of harmful substances in the environment.
- Emergency plan: A plan that outlines what to do in the event of an emergency.

**Self-Debate Discussion**

Do you think nuclear power is safe, or does the risk of accidents outweigh the benefits? Why?

Lesson: Introduction to Law and the Legal System

## Section 1: What is Law?

**Definition:** Law is a set of rules that govern the behavior of individuals and groups within a society.

**Theoretical Concept:** Law is based on the principle of justice, which means that everyone should be treated fairly and equally under the law.

**Practical Example:** Imagine that you are driving down the highway and suddenly realize that you are speeding. If you are caught by a police officer, you will be fined because the law states that it is illegal to exceed the speed limit.

## Section 2: The Role of the Judiciary

**Definition:** The judiciary is the branch of government responsible for interpreting and applying the law.

**Theoretical Concept:** The judiciary plays an important role in ensuring that the law is applied fairly and impartially.

**Practical Example:** Let's say that you and your friend both went to the same store and bought the same item, but your friend paid $10 less than you did. You decide to take your friend to court to get the extra $10 back. The judge will listen to both sides of the argument and then make a decision based on the evidence presented.

## Section 3: Types of Law

**Definition:** There are several types of law, including criminal law, civil law, and international law.

**Theoretical Concept:** Each type of law has its own set of rules and procedures.

**Practical Example:** Criminal law deals with crimes against society, such as murder or theft. If someone commits a crime, they can be prosecuted by the government and face criminal penalties if found guilty. Civil law, on the other hand, deals with disputes between individuals or organizations. For example, if you were injured in a car accident caused by someone else's negligence, you could file a civil lawsuit against them to seek compensation for your injuries.

## Conclusion

In this lesson, we learned about the basics of law and the legal system. We covered what law is, the role of the judiciary, and the different types of law. By understanding these concepts, we can better appreciate the importance of the rule of law and how it affects our daily lives.

text: Join us in a round of applause for Mr. Tuvok, a 14-year-old, 10-pound Terrier mix who’s the light of his family’s life. In 2002, while living in Dallas, Hélène Côté and Mike Charlasch decided they needed a dog, one small enough to travel easily and spry enough to take part in outdoor adventures. They found their match in Mr. Tuvok, a pint-sized charmer they adopted from the Protective Animal League and named for the stoic Vulcan lieutenant commander on Star Trek Voyager. They adopted Tuvok with a bum leg and bad teeth, but those were soon fixed. In the process, it was discovered that not only had his back leg been broken and never set, he’d also been shot with an air rifle; the surgeon found three pellets in his body. Mr. T now leads an adventure-filled life with his family in Los Angeles, and this photo by L.A. photographer and award-winning art director Grace Chon catches his jaunty, spirited nature and winsome smile to perfection.

Lesson: The Importance of Adopting Pets from Shelters

Introduction:
Pet adoption is a great way to provide a loving home to an animal in need. In this lesson, we will explore the benefits of adopting pets from shelters, including the positive impact on both the animal and the community.

Section 1: Why Adopt from Shelters?

Topic 1: Saving a Life
One of the most significant reasons to adopt a pet from a shelter is that you are saving a life. Many animals in shelters are euthanized if they are not adopted. By adopting, you are giving an animal a second chance at life and a loving home.

Topic 2: Reducing Overpopulation
Another reason to adopt from a shelter is that it helps reduce pet overpopulation. When people choose to adopt from shelters instead of buying from pet stores or breeders, there will be fewer animals in shelters, and the cycle of overpopulation will be broken.

Topic 3: Supporting the Community
Adopting from a shelter also supports your local community. Shelters often rely on donations and volunteers to keep running. By adopting from a shelter, you are supporting the hard work of these organizations and helping to improve your community.

Section 2: The Benefits of Adopting from Shelters

Topic 1: Health Benefits
Animals in shelters often receive medical care before being adopted, which means that you may avoid some of the health issues that come with a puppy or kitten. Additionally, having a pet has been shown to have numerous health benefits, such as reducing stress and lowering blood pressure.

Topic 2: Behavioral Benefits
Shelter staff work hard to socialize animals and prepare them for life in a home. This means that when you adopt from a shelter, you may be more likely to get an animal that is well-behaved and easy to train. Additionally, having a pet can help children learn responsibility and empathy.

Topic 3: Financial Benefits
Adopting from a shelter is often more cost-effective than buying from a pet store or breeder. Adoption fees are usually much lower, and many shelters provide vaccinations, spaying or neutering, and microchipping. Additionally, owning a pet can save money on entertainment, as pets provide companionship and stimulate social interaction.

Section 3: Real-World Examples

Topic 1: Mr. Tuvok's Story
Mr. Tuvok, a 14-year-old Terrier mix, was adopted from a shelter in Dallas. He had a bum leg and bad teeth, but his family loved him anyway. Unfortunately, it was discovered that not only had his back leg been broken and never set, he’d also been shot with an air rifle. Despite this, Mr. T now leads an adventure-filled life with his family in Los Angeles.

Topic 2: The Protective Animal League
The Protective Animal League is an organization that works to find homes for animals in need. By adopting from a shelter like this one, you are supporting their hard work and helping to improve the lives of animals in your community.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, adopting pets from shelters is a wonderful way to provide a loving home to an animal in need while also supporting your community. By choosing to adopt, you are saving a life and reducing pet overpopulation. Additionally, you may enjoy health, behavioral, and financial benefits by adopting from a shelter. We encourage you to consider adopting your next pet from a shelter.

Glossary:
- Pet adoption: The process of taking in and providing a home for an animal in need, typically one that is abandoned, lost, or in an animal shelter.
- Shelter: A place where homeless, lost, or unwanted animals are kept temporarily, usually until they are adopted.
- Overpopulation: The condition of having a population that exceeds the carrying capacity of the environment.
- Adoption fee: The fee charged by a shelter for allowing an individual to adopt a pet.
- Vaccination: The process of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease.
- Spaying: The surgical removal of the ovaries and uterus of a female animal.
- Neutering: The surgical removal of the testes of a male animal.
- Microchipping: The process of implanting a small chip under the skin of an animal to identify it.

Lesson: Introduction to Collectibles

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Collectibles are items that are valued for their rarity, historical significance, or cultural importance. They can be anything from artwork to coins, stamps, and other objects. Collecting is a popular hobby among people of all ages, and it can be a fun way to learn about history, culture, and art.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
One example of a collectible is the Christmas Collectible 2018 by Newbridge Silver. This item is valuable because it is a limited edition, meaning that only a certain number of them were made. It also has a unique design that represents the winter season in Ireland.

Another example of a collectible is the Beanie Baby toys that were popular in the 1990s. These toys were originally sold at a low price, but as they became more popular, their value increased. People started collecting them because they were rare and had unique designs.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
In the world of finance, collectibles can be used as investments. For example, some people invest in rare coins or stamps because they believe that their value will increase over time. These investments can be risky, however, because the value of collectibles can change quickly depending on market conditions.

In the art world, collectibles are often valued for their aesthetic appeal. Some people collect paintings, sculptures, or other forms of art that they find beautiful or meaningful. These collectors may spend a lot of money on a single piece, but they do so because they appreciate its beauty and want to own it.

## Section 4: Self-Debating Discussions
Why do you think people collect things? Is it because they have a personal connection to the object, or because they think it will be valuable someday? Are there any downsides to collecting things, such as hoarding or spending too much money on items?

## Glossary
- Collectible: an item that is valued for its rarity, historical significance, or cultural importance.
- Limited edition: a set of items that are produced in a limited quantity.
- Investment: an asset that is purchased with the hope that it will increase in value over time.
- Aesthetic appeal: the quality of being beautiful or pleasing to the senses.

## Conclusion
Collectibles can be a fun and interesting hobby, but they can also be valuable investments. By learning about the history, culture, and art behind these items, we can gain a deeper appreciation for their significance. Whether you are a beginner collector or an experienced enthusiast, there is always something new to discover in the world of collectibles.

Silviu Simioncencu

Silviu Simioncencu (born December 13, 1975 in Crişan, Tulcea) is a Romanian sprint canoer and three-time world champion in the Canadian canoe events.

He won his first major title at the European championships in 2002, winning the C2 1000m final with Florin Popescu. In 2003 they became world champions at Gainesville, USA. Simioncencu was also a member of Romania's C-4 500 m crew which crossed the line second but was later awarded the gold medal after Russian Sergey Ulegin failed a doping test. A fourth-place finish in the C-4 200 m was also upgraded to bronze for the same reason.

In 2004 Simioncencu also won a C-4 500 m gold medal at the European championships, this time without the aid of disqualifications. At the Athens Olympics Simioncencu and Popescu were unlucky to miss a medal, finishing fourth in both C-2 finals (500 m and 1000 m).

In 2005, despite having changed two crew members, the Romanians retained their European C-4 title and went on to win the World Championship gold medal at Zagreb.

In 2006, Simioncencu won his third consecutive European C-4 500 m title at Račice, Czech Republic. At the World Championships in Szeged, Hungary, however the Romanians had to settle for the bronze medal behind Belarus and Poland. He won another bronze medal in the C-4 1000 m event at the 2009 championships.

Simioncencu is a member of the CSA Steaua Bucharest club. He is 180 cm (5'11) tall and weighs 80 kg (176 lbs).

Lesson: Introduction to Canoeing

## Chapter 1: What is Canoeing?

Canoeing is an aquatic sport that involves using a kayak or canoe to navigate through water. It is an ancient form of transportation and has been used by various cultures for hunting, fishing, and traveling. Today, canoeing is a popular recreational activity and competitive sport.

## Chapter 2: Types of Canoes

There are two main types of canoes: open canoes and closed deck canoes. Open canoes have no cover over the top and are often used for recreational activities such as fishing and wildlife watching. Closed deck canoes have a deck that covers the top of the boat and are typically used in whitewater or rough water conditions.

## Chapter 3: Equipment and Safety

To participate in canoeing, you will need a canoe or kayak, paddles, life jackets, and appropriate clothing. It is essential to wear a life jacket when canoeing, as it can help prevent drowning and other water-related accidents. Additionally, always wear appropriate clothing that will not restrict your movement while paddling.

Ludwig von Mises was one of the last members of the original austrian school of economics. He earned his doctorate in law and economics from the University of Vienna in 1906. One of his best works, The Theory of Money and Credit, was published in 1912 and was used as a money and banking textbook for the next two decades. In it Mises extended Austrian marginal utility theory to money, which, noted Mises, is demanded for its usefulness in purchasing other goods rather than for its own sake.

In that same book Mises also argued that business cycles are caused by the uncontrolled expansion of bank credit. In 1926 Mises founded the Austrian Institute for Business Cycle Research. His most influential student, Friedrich Hayek, later developed Mises’s business cycle theories.

Another of Mises’s notable contributions is his claim that socialism must fail economically. In a 1920 article, Mises argued that a socialist government could not make the economic calculations required to organize a complex economy efficiently. Although socialist economists Oskar Lange and Abba Lerner disagreed with him, modern economists agree that Mises’s argument, combined with Hayek’s elaboration of it, is correct (see socialism).

Mises believed that economic truths are derived from self-evident axioms and cannot be empirically tested. He laid out his view in his magnum opus, Human Action, and in other publications, although he failed to persuade many economists outside the Austrian school. Mises was also a strong proponent of laissez-faire; he advocated that the government not intervene anywhere in the economy. Interestingly, though, even Mises made some striking exceptions to this view. For example, he believed that military conscription could be justified in wartime.

From 1913 to 1934 Mises was an unpaid professor at the University of Vienna while working as an economist for the Vienna Chamber of Commerce, in which capacity he served as the principal economic adviser to the Austrian government. To avoid the Nazi influence in his Austrian homeland, in 1934 Mises left for Geneva, where he was a professor at the Graduate Institute of International Studies until he emigrated to New York City in 1940. He was a visiting professor at New York University from 1945 until he retired in 1969.

Mises’s ideas—on economic reasoning and on economic policy—were out of fashion during the Keynesian revolution that took over American economic thinking from the mid-1930s to the 1960s. Mises’s upset at the Keynesian revolution and at Hitler’s earlier destruction of his homeland made Mises bitter from the late 1940s on. The contrast between his early view of himself as a mainstream member of his profession and his later view of himself as an outcast shows up starkly in The Theory of Money and Credit. The first section, written in 1912, is calmly argued; the last section, added in the 1940s, is strident.

Mises had a strong influence on young people. The resurgent Austrian school in the United States owes itself in no small part to Mises’s persistence.

Lesson Title: Ludwig von Mises and the Austrian School of Economics

Introduction:
Ludwig von Mises was an influential economist who belonged to the Austrian School of Economics. In this lesson, we will learn about his contributions to the field of economics, particularly his views on money and banking, business cycles, and socialism.

Section 1: Money and Banking

Theory of Money and Credit:
Mises extended the Austrian marginal utility theory to money, which means that money is valued for its usefulness in purchasing other goods rather than for its own sake. This theory helps us understand the role of money in the economy and how its value is determined.

Mises' Law:
Mises' Law states that the supply of money affects the general price level. When the supply of money increases, the general price level rises, and when the supply of money decreases, the general price level falls. This law helps us understand the relationship between money supply and inflation.

Business Cycles:
Mises argued that business cycles are caused by the uncontrolled expansion of bank credit. When banks create more money than there are goods and services to buy, it leads to an increase in demand and a subsequent increase in prices. This causes businesses to overproduce, leading to a recession or depression when the bubble bursts.

Section 2: Socialism

Calculation Problem:
Mises claimed that socialism would fail economically because the government cannot make the necessary economic calculations required to organize a complex economy. This is known as the calculation problem, and it highlights the difficulties of central planning in a socialist economy.

Economic Calculation under Socialism:
Under socialism, the government owns all means of production and distribution. This means that prices do not reflect the true cost of production, making it impossible to allocate resources efficiently. Mises argued that without market prices, there can be no rational economic calculation, and therefore, socialism would lead to economic stagnation and poverty.

Section 3: Conclusion

Application to New Problems:
The contributions of Ludwig von Mises to the field of economics continue to be relevant today. His insights into money and banking, business cycles, and socialism provide valuable lessons for understanding the economy and addressing contemporary economic issues. By studying his work, we can better understand the role of money, the dangers of uncontrolled credit creation, and the limitations of central planning.

Lesson: Introduction to Automatic Pipe Saws

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
An automatic pipe saw is a machine that uses a blade to cut through pipes automatically. It is commonly used in construction sites and factories to create precise and accurate cuts on pipes. In this lesson, we will learn about the principles behind automatic pipe saws and how they work.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
Let's imagine you are working on a construction site and need to cut a pipe to fit into a specific space. Instead of manually cutting the pipe with a hacksaw or other manual tool, you can use an automatic pipe saw to make the cut quickly and accurately. Here's how it works:

1. First, you need to set up the automatic pipe saw according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically involves clamping the pipe in place and positioning the blade correctly.
2. Once the pipe is securely clamped and the blade is properly positioned, you can turn on the saw and start the cutting process.
3. The automatic pipe saw will spin the blade at a high speed, creating friction and heat as it cuts through the pipe.
4. As the blade continues to spin, it will eventually cut through the pipe, leaving a smooth and accurate cut.
5. After the cut is complete, you can remove the pipe and repeat the process as needed.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
Now let's consider a real-world scenario where an automatic pipe saw would be useful. Imagine you are working on a construction project that requires many pipes to be cut to specific lengths. Using a manual saw would be time-consuming and tiring, and the accuracy of the cuts may vary. However, by using an automatic pipe saw, you can quickly and accurately cut all the pipes to the correct length, saving time and ensuring consistent results.

## Glossary
- Automatic Pipe Saw: A machine that uses a blade to cut through pipes automatically.
- Blade: A sharp, thin piece of material that is used to cut through materials.
- Friction: The force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact with each other.
- Heat: The energy that is transferred between two objects when they touch.
- Manufacturer: A company that creates and sells products.
- Precise: Exactly meeting a specified requirement or standard.
- Accurate: Correct and exact.

## Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about automatic pipe saws and how they work. We explored the theoretical concepts behind these machines, considered practical examples of their use, and examined real-world scenarios where they would be useful. By understanding the principles behind automatic pipe saws, we can apply this knowledge to new problems and find solutions that are precise and accurate.

Q:

How to validate against runtime JSON object reference?

For a sample JSON data which looks like this -
{
    "children":{
        "Alice":{...},
        "Jamie":{...},
        "Bob":{...}
        // Any new child with a given unique name will be added to this object
    },
    childrenOrder:["Alice", "Bob", "Jamie"]
}

In the corresponding JSON Schema, I am trying to limit the valid values in "childrenOrder" array to be from the run time children keys.
I didn't see any means of referring to runtime dynamic values in the official JSON Schema documentation (http://json-schema.org/documentation.html).
Is this even possible at the moment?
For the sake of brevity I omitted JSON Schema code. I can add it if folks think it is needed to address the question.
Thanks in advance.

A:

No it is not possible using the current JSON Schema specification.  However, there is a proposal for the next version of JSON Schema that could change that.
https://github.com/json-schema/json-schema/wiki/%24data-(v5-proposal)

textbook:
Lesson: Validating JSON Data Against Runtime Object References

Introduction:
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write. It is a popular format for transmitting data between web applications. However, it is important to ensure that the data being exchanged is valid and meets certain criteria. This lesson will teach you how to validate JSON data against runtime object references using JSON Schema.

Objective:
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- Understand what JSON Schema is and how it is used for validating JSON data
- Identify the limitations of JSON Schema when it comes to validating against runtime object references
- Create a JSON Schema that validates against runtime object references using the proposed $data keyword in the next version of JSON Schema

Section 1: Introduction to JSON Schema

JSON Schema is a standardized way of describing the structure, data types, and constraints for JSON data. It provides a set of rules that define the validity of JSON data. When you apply a JSON Schema to some data, it checks whether the data conforms to the rules defined by the schema. If the data conforms to the schema, it is considered valid. If it does not conform to the schema, it is considered invalid.

Section 2: Limitations of JSON Schema

One limitation of JSON Schema is that it cannot validate against runtime object references. This means that it cannot check whether a particular value refers to an object that exists at runtime. For example, suppose you have a JSON object that looks like this:

```
{
    "children": {
        "Alice": {...},
        "Jamie": {...},
        "Bob": {...}
    },
    "childrenOrder": ["Alice", "Bob", "Jamie"]
}
```

In this example, the `"childrenOrder"` array contains the names of the children in alphabetical order. You want to make sure that the `"childrenOrder"` array only contains the names of children that actually exist in the `"children"` object. However, since the `"childrenOrder"` array is defined statically in the JSON Schema, it cannot refer to the actual runtime values of the `"children"` object.

Section 3: Creating a JSON Schema that Validates Against Runtime Object References

In the next version of JSON Schema, there is a proposed `$data` keyword that allows you to refer to the actual runtime values of an object. This makes it possible to validate against runtime object references. Here is an example of a JSON Schema that uses the `$data` keyword to validate the `"childrenOrder"` array against the actual children in the `"children"` object:

```
$schema: http://json-schema.org/draft-05/schema#
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "children": {
      "$ref": "#/properties/children"
    },
    "childrenOrder": {
      "type": "array",
      "items": {
        "type": "string",
        "minLength": 1,
        "maxLength": 10,
        "pattern": "^[a-zA-Z]+$",
        "allOf": [
          {
            "$data": "properties.children['$][0].name"
          },
          {
            "$data": "properties.children['$][1].name"
          },
          {
            "$data": "properties.children['$][2].name"
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  },
  "required": ["children", "childrenOrder"]
}
```

In this JSON Schema, the `"childrenOrder"` array is validated against the actual children in the `"children"` object using the `$data` keyword. The `"pattern"` property ensures that each string in the array has a length between 1 and 10 characters and only contains letters. The `"allOf"` property uses the `$data` keyword to check that each string in the array matches the name of one of the children in the `"children"` object.

Section 4: Conclusion

In this lesson, we learned about the limitations of JSON Schema when it comes to validating against runtime object references. We also learned how to create a JSON Schema that validates against runtime object references using the proposed `$data` keyword in the next version of JSON Schema. By applying this schema to your JSON data, you can ensure that the data conforms to certain criteria and is valid for use in your application.
