In Ruby, defining your own "new" method is rarely done. In Ruby, new is 
a class method that allocates a new instance of the class and then calls 
the "initialize" instance method to initialize the object. So, if you're 
wanting to define the instance method that gets called when you create a 
new instance of the class, define the initialize method:

class MyClass
    def initialize
       # initialization code
    end

    # other stuff in the class

end
