A Warder in a gray-green coat approached Bryne as soon as he rode Traveler past the first stone houses of the village. Bryne would have known the man for a Warder after watching him walk two strides, even without all the Aes Sedai faces staring at him in the street. What in the name of the Light were so many Aes Sedai doing this close to Amadicia? Rumor in villages behind said Ailron meant to claim this bank of the River Eldar, which meant the Whitecloaks did. Aes Sedai could defend themselves well, but if Niall sent a legion across the Eldar, a good many of these women would die. Unless he could no longer tell how long a stump had been exposed to air, this place had been buried in the forest two months ago. What had Mara gotten herself into? He was sure he would find her here; village men remembered three pretty young women traveling together, especially when one of them asked directions to a town abandoned since the Whitecloak War.
The Warder, a big man with a broad face, an Illianer by his beard, planted himself in the street in front of Bryne’s big-nosed bay gelding and bowed. “Lord Bryne? I am Nuhel Dromand. If you will come with me, there are those who do wish to speak with you.”
Bryne dismounted slowly, pulling off his gauntlets and tucking them behind his sword belt as he studied the town. The plain buff-colored coat he wore now was much better for a journey of this sort than the gray silk he had started in; that, he had given away. Aes Sedai and Warders, and others, watched him silently, but even those who had to be servants did not look surprised. And Dromand knew his name. His face was not unknown, but he suspected more than that. If Mara was—if they were Aes Sedai agents, it did not alter the oath they had taken. “Lead on, Nuhel Gaidin.” If Nuhel was surprised at the address, he did not show it.
The inn that Dromand took him to—or what had been an inn once—had the look of headquarters for a campaign, all bustle and scurry. That is, if Aes Sedai had ever commanded a campaign. He spotted Serenla before she did him, seated in the corner with a big man who was very likely Dalyn. When she did see him, her chin dropped almost to the table, and then she squinted at him as if not believing her eyes.  None of the Aes Sedai or Warders seemed to notice as Dromand led him through, but Bryne would have wagered his manor and lands that any one of them had seen ten times as much as all the staring servants combined. He should have turned and ridden away as soon as he realized who was in this village.
He took careful note as he made his bows while the Warder introduced him to the six seated Aes Sedai—only a fool was careless around Aes Sedai—but his mind was on the two young women standing against the wall beside the fresh-swept fireplace and looking chastened. The willowy Domani minx was offering him a smile more tremulous than seductive for a change.  The girl had courage to suit a lion.
“We are pleased to greet you, Lord Bryne,” the flame-haired Aes Sedai said. Just slightly plump, and with those tilted eyes, she was pretty enough to make any man look twice despite the Great Serpent ring on her finger. “Will you tell us what brings you here?”
“Of course, Sheriam Sedai.” Nuhel stood at his shoulder, but if any women needed less guarding from one old soldier, Bryne could not imagine who. He was sure that they knew already, and watching their faces while he told the tale confirmed it. Aes Sedai let nothing be seen that they did not want seen, but at least one of them would have blinked when he spoke of the oath if they had not known beforehand.
“A dreadful story to relate, Lord Bryne.” That was the one called Anaiya; ageless face or not, she looked more like a happy, prosperous farmwife than an Aes Sedai. “Yet I am surprised that you followed so far, even after oathbreakers.” Mara’s fair cheeks flushed a furious red. “Still, a strong oath, one that should not be broken.”
“Unfortunately,” Sheriam said, “we cannot let you take them quite yet.”
So they were Aes Sedai agents. “A strong oath that should not be broken, yet you mean to keep them from honoring it?”
“They will honor it,” Myrelle said, with a glance at the pair by the fireplace that made them both stand straighter, “and you may rest assured that they already regret running away after giving, it.” This time it was Amaena who reddened; Mara looked ready to chew rocks. “But we cannot allow it yet.” No Ajahs had been mentioned, yet he thought the darkly pretty woman was Green, and the stout, round-faced one called Morvrin was Brown. Perhaps it was the smile that Myrelle had given Dromand when the man brought him in, and Morvrin’s air of thinking of something else. “In truth, they did not say when they would serve, and we have a use for them.”
This was foolish; he should apologize for disturbing them and leave. And that was foolish, too. He had known before Dromand reached him in the street that he was unlikely to leave Salidar alive. There were probably fifty Warders in the forest around where he had left his men, if not a hundred.  Yet if he was a fool to have let a pair of eyes lure him into this trap, he might as well go the last mile for it. “Arson, theft and assault, Aes Sedai. Those were the crimes. They were tried, sentenced, and sworn. But I have no objection to remaining here until you are done with them. Mara can act as my dog robber when you do not need her. I will mark the hours she works for me, and count them against her service.”
Mara opened her mouth angrily, but almost as if the women had known that she would try to speak, six pairs of Aes Sedai eyes swiveled to her in unison. She shifted her shoulders, snapped her mouth shut, and then glared at him; fists rigidly at her sides. He was glad she did not have a knife in her hand.
Myrelle appeared close to laughter. “Better to choose the other, Lord Bryne. From the way she is looking at you, you would find her far more . . . congenial.”
He half-expected Amaena to go crimson, but she did not. And she was eyeing him—appraisingly. She even shared a smile with Myrelle. Well, she was Domani after all, and considerably more so than when he saw her last, it seemed.
Carlinya, cold enough to make the others seem warm, leaned forward. He was wary of her, and of the big-eyed one named Beonin. He was not sure why. Except that if he were in the Game of Houses here, he would say both women reeked of ambition. Maybe he was involved in exactly that.
“You should be aware,” Carlinya said coolly, “that the woman you know as Mara is in reality Siuan Sanche, formerly the Amyrlin Seat. Amaena is really Leane Sharif, who was Keeper of the Chronicles.”
It was all he could do not to gape like a country lout. Now that he knew, he could see it in Mara’s face—in Siuan’s—the face that had made him back down, softened into youth. “How?” was all he said. It was almost all he could have managed to say.
“There are some things men are better off not knowing,” Sheriam replied coolly, “and most women.”
Mara—no, he might as well think of her by her right name—Siuan had been stilled. He knew that. It must be something to do with stilling. If that swan-necked Domani had been Keeper, he was ready to wager she had been stilled, too. But talking about stilling around Aes Sedai was a good way to find out how tough you were.
They were very good, these Aes Sedai. They had lulled him, then hit hard when his guard was down. He had a sinking feeling that he knew what they were softening him for. It would be interesting to learn whether he was right. “It does not change the oath they took. If they were still Amyrlin and Keeper, they could be held to that oath by any law, including that of Tar Valon.”
“Since you have no objection to remaining here,” Sheriam said, “you may have Siuan as your body-servant, when we do not need her. You may have all three of them, if you wish, including Min, whom you apparently know as Serenla, all the time.” For some reason, that seemed to irritate Siuan as much as what had been said about her; she muttered to herself, not loud enough to be heard. “And since you have no objections, Lord Bryne, while you remain with us there is a service that you can give us.”
“The gratitude of Aes Sedai is not inconsiderable,” Morvrin said.
“You will be serving the Light and justice in serving us,” Carlinya added.
Beonin nodded, speaking in serious tones. “You served Morgase and Andor faithfully. Serve us as well, and you will not find exile at its end. Nothing we ask of you will go against your honor. Nothing we ask will harm Andor.”
Bryne grimaced. He was in the Game, all right. He sometimes thought that Aes Sedai must have invented Daes Dae’mar, they seemed to play it in their sleep. Battle was surely more bloody, but it was more honest, too. If they meant to pull his strings, then his strings would be pulled—they would manage it one way or another—but it was time to show them he was not a brainless puppet.
“The White Tower is broken,” he said flatly. Those Aes Sedai eyes widened, but he gave them no chance to speak. “The Ajahs have split. That is the only reason you can all be here. You certainly don’t need an extra sword or two”—he eyed Dromand and got a nod in return—“so the only service you can want out of me is to lead an army. To build one, first, unless you have other camps with a good many more men than I saw here. And that means you intend to oppose Elaida.” Sheriam looked vexed, Anaiya worried, and Carlinya on the point of speaking, but he went on. Let them listen; he expected he would be doing a great deal of listening to them in the months to come. “Very well. I’ve never liked Elaida, and I cannot believe she makes a good Amyrlin. More importantly, I can make an army to take Tar Valon. So long as you know the taking will be bloody and long.
“But these are my conditions.” They stiffened to a woman at that, even Siuan and Leane. Men did not make conditions for Aes Sedai. “First, the command is mine. You tell me what to do, but I decide how. You give commands to me, and I give them to the soldiers under me, not you. Not unless I have agreed to it first.” Several mouths opened, Carlinya’s and Beonin’s first, but he continued. “I assign men, I promote them, and I discipline them. Not you. Second, if I tell you it can’t be done, you will consider what I say. I don’t ask to usurp your authority”—small chance they would allow that—“yet do not want to waste men because you do not understand war.” It would happen, but no more than once, if he was lucky. “Third, if you begin this, you will stay the course. I will be putting my head in a noose, and every man who follows along with me, and should you decide half a year from now that Elaida as Amyrlin is preferable to war, you will pull that noose tight for every one of us who can be hunted down. The nations may stay out of a civil war in the Tower, but they’ll not let us live if you abandon us. Elaida will see to that.
“If you will not agree to these, then I do not know that I can serve you. Whether you bind me with the Power for Dromand here to slit my throat or I end attainted and hung, death is still the end.”
The Aes Sedai did not speak. For a long moment they stared at him, until the itch between his shoulder blades made him wonder if Nuhel was ready to plunge a dagger in. Then Sheriam rose, and the others followed her to the windows. He could see their lips moving, but he heard nothing. If they wanted to hide their deliberations behind the One Power, so be it. He was not certain how much of what he wanted he could wring out of them. All, if they were sensible, but Aes Sedai could decide that strange things were sensible. Whatever they decided, he would have to accede with as good a grace as he could muster. It was a perfect trap that he had made for himself.
Leane gave him a look and a smile that said as plain as words that he would never know what he had missed; he thought it would have been a fine chase, with him being led by the nose. Domani women never promised half what you thought they did, and they gave only as much as they chose and changed their minds either way in a blink.
The bait in his trap stared at him levelly, strode across the floor until she stood so close that she had to crane her neck to stare up at him, and spoke in a low, furious voice. “Why did you do this? Why did you follow us? For a barn?”
“For an oath.” For a pair of blue eyes. Siuan Sanche could not be more than ten years younger than he, but it was hard to remember that she was Siuan Sanche while looking at a face nearer thirty years younger. The eyes were the same, though, deep blue and strong. “An oath you gave to me, and broke. I should double your time for that.”
Dropping her gaze from his, she folded her arms beneath her breasts, growling, “That has already been taken care of.”
“You mean they punished you for oathbreaking? If you’ve had your bottom switched for it, it doesn’t count unless I do it.”
Dromand’s chuckle sounded more than half scandalized—the man had to be still struggling with who Siuan had been; Bryne was not certain that he was not, too—and her face darkened until he thought she might have apoplexy. “My time has already been doubled, if not more, you pile of rancid fish guts! You and your marking hours!
So they had planned for this too, Sheriam and the others. He glanced to their conference by the windows. They seemed to have divided into two opposing groups; Sheriam, Anaiya and Myrelle on one side, Morvrin and Carlinya on the other, with Beonin standing between. They had been ready to give him Siuan and Leane and—Min?—as bribe or sop, before he ever walked in. They were desperate, which meant he was on the weaker side, but maybe they were desperate enough to give him what he needed for a chance of victory.
“You are taking pleasure from this, aren’t you?” Siuan said fiercely the moment his eyes moved. “You buzzard.  Now that you know who I am, it pleases you that I’ll have to bow and scrape to you.” She did not seem to be doing much of that yet. “Why? Is it because I made you back down over Murandy? Are you so small, Gareth Bryne?”
She was trying to make him angry; she realized that she had said too much, and did not want to give him time to think on it. Maybe she was no longer Aes Sedai, but manipulation was in her blood.
“You were the Amyrlin Seat,” he said calmly, “and even a king kisses the Amyrlin’s ring. I can’t say that I liked how you went about it, and we may have a quiet talk sometime on whether it was necessary to do what you did with half the court looking on, but you will remember that I followed Mara Tomanes here, and it was Mara Tomanes I asked for. Not Siuan Sanche. Since you keep asking why, let me ask it. Why was it so important for me to allow the Murandians to raid across the border?”
“Because your interference then could have ruined important plans,” she said, driving each word home in a tight voice, “just as your interference with me now can. The Tower had identified a young border lord named Dulain as a man who could one day truly unify Murandy, with our help. I could hardly allow the chance your soldiers might kill him. I have work to do here, Lord Bryne. Leave me to do it, and you may see victory. Meddle out of spite, and you ruin everything.”
“Whatever your work is, I am sure Sheriam and the others will see you do it. Dulain? I’ve never heard of him. He cannot be succeeding yet.” It was his opinion that Murandy would remain a patchwork of all but independent lords and ladies until the Wheel turned and a new Age came. Murandians called themselves Lugarders or Mindeans or whatever before they named a nation. If they even bothered to name one. A lord who could unite them, and who had Siuan’s leash around his throat, could bring a considerable number of men.
“He . . . died.” Scarlet spots appeared in her cheeks, and she seemed to struggle with herself. “A month after I left Caemlyn,” she muttered, “some Andoran farmer put an arrow through him on a sheep raid.”
He could not help laughing. “It was the farmers you should have made kneel, not me. Well, you no longer need concern yourself with such things.” That was certainly true. Whatever use the Aes Sedai had for her, they would never let her near power or decisions again now. He felt pity for her. He could not imagine this woman giving up and dying, but she had lost about as much as it was possible to lose short of dying. On the other hand, he had not liked being called a buzzard, or a pile of reeking fish guts. What was the other thing?  “From now on, you can concern yourself with keeping my boots clean and my bed made.”
Her eyes narrowed to slits. “If that is what you want, Lord Gareth Bryne, you should choose Leane. She might be fool enough.”
Only barely did he stop himself from goggling. The way women’s minds worked never ceased to amaze him. “You vowed to serve me however I choose.” He managed to chuckle. Why was he doing this? He knew who she was, and what she was. But those eyes still haunted him, staring a challenge even when she thought there was no hope, just as they were now. “You will discover the kind of man I am, Siuan.” He meant it to soothe her after his jest, but from the way her shoulders stiffened, she seemed to take it as a threat.
Suddenly he realized that he could hear the Aes Sedai, a soft murmur of voices that went silent immediately. They stood together, staring at him with unreadable expressions. No, at Siuan. Their eyes followed her as she started back to where Leane still stood; as if she could feel the pressure of them, each step came a little quicker than the one before. When she turned again, beside the fireplace, her face told no more than theirs. A remarkable woman. He was not sure he could have done as well, in her place.
The Aes Sedai were waiting for him to approach. When he did, Sheriam said, “We accept your conditions without reservation, Lord Bryne, and pledge ourselves to hold to them. They are most reasonable.”
Carlinya, at least, did not look as though she thought they were reasonable at all, but he did not care. He had been prepared to give up all but the last, that they stay the course, if need be.
He knelt where he was, right fist pressed to the scrap of carpet, and they encircled him, each laying a hand on his bowed head. He did not care whether they used the Power to bind him to his oath or search for truth—he was not sure they could do either, but who really knew what Aes Sedai could do?—and if they meant something else, there was nothing he could do about it.  He was carp-brained. “I do pledge and vow that I will serve you faithfully until the White Tower is yours . . . ”
Already, he was planning. Thad and maybe a Warder or two across the river to see what the Whitecloaks were up to. Joni, Barim and a few others down to Ebou Dar; it would keep Joni from swallowing his tongue every time he looked at “Mara” and “Amaena,” and every man he sent would know how to recruit.
“ . . . building and directing your army, to the best of my ability . . . ”
When the low buzz of talk in the common room died, Min looked up from the patterns she had been idly sketching on the table with a finger dipped in wine. Logain stirred, too, for a wonder, but only to stare at the people in the room, or maybe through them; it was hard to tell.
Gareth Bryne and that big Illianer Warder came out of the back room first.
The Illianer roared with laughter. “A dangerous city, Ebou Dar.” Pulling leather gauntlets from behind his sword belt, he stalked out into the street drawing them on.
The talk began to pick up again as Siuan appeared. Min could not hear what Bryne said to her, but she strode after the Warder snarling to herself. Min had a sinking feeling that the Aes Sedai had decided that they were going to honor that fool oath Siuan had been so proud of, honor it right now. If she could convince herself that the pair of Warders lounging against the wall would not notice, she would be out of the door and into Wildrose’s saddle in a flash.
Sheriam and the other Aes Sedai came out last, with Leane. Myrelle sat Leane down at one of the tables and began discussing something, while the rest circulated through the room, stopping to speak to each Aes Sedai. Whatever they said, it produced reactions from outright shock to pleased grins, despite that fabled Aes Sedai serenity.
“Stay here,” Min told Logain, scraping back her rickety chair. She hoped he was not going to start trouble. He was staring at Aes Sedai faces, one by one, and appearing to see more than he had in days. “Just stay at this table till I get back, Dalyn.” She was out of the habit of being around people who knew his real name. “Please.”
“She sold me to Aes Sedai.” It was a shock to hear him speak after being so long silent. He shivered, then nodded. “I will wait.”
Min hesitated, but if two Warders could not stop him from doing anything stupid, a roomful of Aes Sedai certainly could. When she reached the door, a chunky bay gelding was being led away by a man with the look of a groom. Bryne’s horse, she supposed. Their own mounts were nowhere in sight. So much for any dash for freedom.  I will! But they can’t keep me from Rand now. I’ve done what Siuan wanted. They have to let me go to him. The only problem was that Aes Sedai decided for themselves what they had to do, and usually what other people had to do as well.
 “Watch Logain,” she hissed under her breath without slowing. “Let no one talk to him.” She marched to the foot of the stairs, where a gray-haired woman, a servant, was starting to lead Bryne up, and fell in behind. From the stare she fixed on the man’s back, he should have been praying she did not reach for her belt knife.
Min smiled at the tall, slender Warder who had followed her to the door. He stood ten feet away, barely glancing at her, but she had no illusions. “We’re guests now. Friends.” He did not return the smile. Bloody stone-faced men! Why could they not at least give you a hint what they were thinking?
Logain was still studying the Aes Sedai when she got back to the table. A fine time for Siuan to want him kept silent, just when he was beginning to show life again. She needed to talk to Siuan. “Logain,” she said softly, hoping neither of the Warders lounging against the wall could hear. They had hardly seemed to breathe since taking their positions, except when one had followed her. “I don’t think you should say anything until Mara tells you what she has planned. Not to anyone.”
“Mara?” He gave her a dark sneer. “You mean Siuan Sanche?” So he remembered what he had heard in his daze. “Does anyone here look as if they want to talk to me?” He returned to his frowning study.
No one did look as if they wanted to talk with a gentled false Dragon. Except for the two Warders, no one seemed to be paying them any mind at all. If she had not known better, she would have said the Aes Sedai in the room were excited. They had hardly appeared lethargic before, but they certainly seemed to have more energy now, talking in small groups, issuing brisk orders to Warders. The papers they had been so intent on largely lay abandoned. Sheriam and the others who had taken Siuan away had returned to the room at the back, but Leane had two clerks at her table now, both women writing as fast as they could. And a steady stream of Aes Sedai were coming into the inn, disappearing through that rough plank door and not coming out; Whatever had happened in there, Siuan had surely stirred them up.
Min wished she had Siuan at the table, or better yet somewhere alone, for five minutes. Doubtless at that moment she was beating Bryne over the head with his saddlebags. No, Siuan would not resort to that, for all of her glares. Bryne was not like Logain, larger than life in every dimension, every emotion; Logain had managed to overpower Siuan for a time with sheer hugeness. Bryne was quiet, reserved, not a small man certainly, but hardly overbearing. She would not want the man she remembered from Kore Springs as an enemy, but she did not think that he would hold out long against Siuan. He might think she was going to meekly serve out her time as his servant, but Min had no doubts who would end doing what who wanted. She just had to talk to the woman about him.
As if Min’s thoughts had brought her, Siuan came stumping down the stairs, a bundle of white under her arm. Stalked down was nearer truth; if she had had a tail, she would have been lashing it. She paused for one instant, staring at Min and Logain, then marched toward the door that led to the kitchens.
“Stay here,” Min cautioned Logain. “And please, say nothing until . . . Siuan can talk to you.” She was going to have to get used to calling people by their right names again. He did not even look at her.
She caught up with Siuan in a hallway short of the kitchen; the rattle and splash of pots being scrubbed and dishes washed drifted through gaps where boards had dried in the kitchen door.
Siuan’s eyes widened in alarm. “Why did you leave him? Is he still alive?”
“He’ll live forever, for all I can see. Siuan, no one wants to talk to him. But I have to talk with you.” Siuan stuffed the white bundle into her arms. Shirts.  “Since you are one of his serving girls too, you can wash them. I must speak with Logain before anyone else.”
Min caught her arm as she tried to brush past. “You can spare one minute to listen. When Bryne came in, I had a viewing. An aura, and a bull ripping roses from around its neck, and . . . None of it matters except the aura. I didn’t even really understand that, but more than anything else.”
“How much did you understand?”
“If you want to stay alive, you had better stay close to him.” Despite the heat, Min shivered. She had only ever had one other viewing with an “if” in it, and both had been potentially deadly. It was bad enough sometimes knowing what would happen; if she started knowing what might . . . “All I know is this.  If he gets too far away, for too long, you are going to die. Both of you. I don’t know why I should have seen anything about you in his aura, but you seemed like part of it.”
Siuan’s smile would have done to peel a pear.  Are they really going to make us go with him?”
“Oh, no, Min. He is going to lead our armies to victory. And make my life the Pit of Doom!  I don’t know that it is worth it.” Taking a deep breath, she smoothed her skirts. “When you have those washed and ironed, bring them to me. I will take them up to him. You can clean his boots before you go to sleep tonight. We have a room—a cubbyhole—near him, so we will be close if he calls to have his bloody pillows plumped!” She was gone before Min could protest.
Staring down at the wadded shirts, Min was sure that she knew who was going to be doing all of Gareth Bryne’s laundry, and it was not Siuan Sanche.  Fall in love with a man, and you ended up doing laundry, even if it did belong to another man. When she marched into the kitchen to demand a washtub and hot water, she was snarling every bit as much as Siuan.


Ruby Classes and Inheritance
January 25, 2015
By now, you should've come across several times that Ruby is an object-oriented language. This means that Ruby revolves around objects and all objects can be grouped into a class
. These classes have a hierarchy similar to a family tree, in which each object is of some class is belongs to a more general class, which belongs to an even more general class, and so on. (In some programming languages, objects can have multiple classes, like your having two parents. However, Ruby keeps it simple: all objects can belong to only one class.) The further down this class-family tree an object belongs, the more specific it is. It also inherits properties, or instances
from its parent classes, in addition to possessing its own specific and specialized instances.
You can look up the class of any object by calling the class
method on it.
puts 1.class #=> Fixnum
puts " ".class #=> String
puts [].classes #=> Array
Ruby will tell us that 1
is a Fixnum
, " "
is a String, and []
is an Array.
In Ruby, classes themselves are objects and, therefore, belong to a class. Furthermore, all classes ultimately belong to the common ancestor, BasicObject
.
puts 1.class.class #=> Class
There isn't much to instances. They are bound (belong) to a certain class. An object can inherit instances (properties) from its progenitors, just like you inherited your nose from your mom, who got hers from her mom. Now, on to an example to test all of this out.
class Song
def initialize(artist, title, album)
@artist = artist
@title = title
@album = album
end
def now_playing
puts "Now playing: #{@title} by #{@artist} from #{@album}"
end
end
song_1 = Song.new("Taylor Swift", "Blank Space", 1989)
song_2 = Song.new("Mark Ronson", "Uptown Funk", "Uptown Special")
song_1.now_playing
>>"Now playing: Blank Space by Taylor Swift from 1989"
song_2.now_playing
>>"Now playing: Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson from Uptown Special"
Here, we created a class, Song
. (All classes distinguish themselves by beginning with a capital letter.) We start off the class with the method initialize
, a special method in Ruby that lets you set up your object's state, or attribute(s). (All method names must begin with a lowercase letter.) initialize
takes 3 parameters. Any object within the class Song
carries around its own artist, title, and album names. These values are stored in instance variables
so that they can be accessed throughout the class. (Instance variables are preceded by the @
.) now_playing
is an instance method. Similar to an instance variable, it can be called anywhere within the class.
class KaraokeSong < Song
def initialize(artist, title, album, lyrics)
super(artist, title, album)
@lyrics = lyrics
end
def sing
puts "[#{@lyrics}]"
end
end
class KaraokeSong
is a subclass of Song
and inherits all of the properties and methods of its parent class. This class requires all of the same parameters as Song
in addition to lyrics
. By using the keyword super
, the parameters of the parent class are called and appended.
song_3 = KaraokeSong.new("Taylor Swift", "Blank Space", 1989, "Nice to meet you, Where you been? ...")
song_3.now_playing
>>"Now playing: Blank Space by Taylor Swift from 1989"
song_3.sing
>>"[Nice to meet you, Where you been? ...]"
song_3 has access to Song#now_playing
and KaraokeSong#sing
I could refactor these classes a little bit by using a setter method, which allows you to set an instance variable without the initialize
method. The benefit of using these setter methods is that the subclass is decoupled from its parent class, thus giving control back to the parent class. This way, subclasses can contribute to and become specialized without having to know extensively its parent's algorithm. This may sound like programming gibberish but it helps to avoid problems down the road should more attributes and functions be added.
class Song
attr_reader :artist, :title, :album
def now_playing
puts "Now playing: #{@title} by #{@artist} from #{@album}"
end
end
class KaraokeSong < Song
attr_reader :lyrics
def sing
puts "[#{@lyrics}]"
end
end
The setter method creates both an instance variable and method by the name of the variable. Now, I can specifically call the artist, title, and album names respectively in addition to the defined methods in both classes.

to
CONSTANT_SCORE_FILTER_REWRITE
prevents this.
The recommended rewrite method is
CONSTANT_SCORE_AUTO_REWRITE_DEFAULT
: it doesn't spend CPU
computing unhelpful scores, and it tries to pick the most
performant rewrite method given the query. If you
need scoring (like
FuzzyQuery
, use
MultiTermQuery.TopTermsScoringBooleanQueryRewrite
which uses
a priority queue to only collect competitive terms
and not hit this limitation.
Note that
QueryParser
produces
MultiTermQueries using
CONSTANT_SCORE_AUTO_REWRITE_DEFAULT
by default.

On single-segment indexes / no MultiReaders, you get the correct number of unique terms for the whole index. Use this number to compare different queries.

Hello!
I'm trying to use such construction
if (!defined('MY_CONST'))
define('MY_CONST', "some text");
And I get an error 'TypeError: redeclaration of var MY_CONST'
but this works correct
if (!defined('MY_CONST')) {
delete MY_CONST;
define('MY_CONST', "some text");
}
May be you can fix?

@danny morabito: This is not just checking whether a variable exists. In such a case "return this.window[const_name] !== undefined" would work. This is looking for a genuine constant which cannot be altered.
danny morabito
on 2012-02-05 20:33:35
sorry, but isn't simplier:
return this.window[const_name] === undefined ? false: true;
?
Brett Zamir

As far as the callbacks-as-strings, on second thought, just using window[funcName]() (or building a function with an inner function if hard-wiring arguments is needed) avoids the eval()ish nature of setTimeout-with-1st-arg-as-string. But it was a fun thought... :)
Kevin van Zonneveld
on 2009-01-25 14:58:09
@ Brett Zamir: You convinced me! Interesting idea about the callbacks as well!
Brett Zamir
on 2009-01-23 17:04:03
Ok, as far as "not-null", that should be changed to "changed" (to be more clear). That is just providing some way to ensure that an undefined variable will return false (since "changed" will not equal 'undefined'). We need to do some test for whether it is defined, since it will otherwise throw an error. This is safe since the value will be reset back to its original value (in this case to undefined).
As far as the NaN issue in the function... NaN is actually is considered to be typeof number, but that was redundant, and I shouldn't have handled it as a constant anyways because I've since discovered NaN, Infinity, and undefined are all variables in JavaScript--you can change them!
The only way that adding the 'changed' keyword to the "variable" could result in the same value as the original temporary variable is if the original was a constant. For example, (non-constant) objects or arrays will have their toString() methods called, but they will get an additional string "changed" appended, so they can never match (and thus the variable will get set back to its original value).
As far as failing, I don't see any reason which could cause it to fail--do you? (if it crashed at that point, the changed variable would be meaningless anyways).
As far as a parallel process, even if the person is using a setTimeout "thread", my understanding is that the function must fully complete before yielding since JavaScript doesn't have true threads. So the variable should always get set back, as far as I can tell.
(Off the subject, but speaking of setTimeout, I just realized we could allow passing of PHP-style callbacks-as-strings into JavaScript functions by calling setTimeout with a 0 ms timeout (optionally building arguments to pass in as necessary).)
var a = function(b){alert('aaa');}
runCallback('a')
function runCallback (cb) {
var a = setTimeout(cb+"()",0)
}
Ok, now here's the simplified defined() function:
function defined (constant) {
var tmp = window[constant];
window[constant] = window[constant] ? 'changed'+window[constant].toString() : 'changed';
var returnval = window[constant] === tmp;
if (!returnval) { // Reset
window[constant] = tmp;
}
return returnval;
}
Kevin van Zonneveld
on 2008-12-30 12:33:35
@ Brett Zamir: If I'm not mistaken you are reassigning the variable a value to make sure it really is a constant.
If it's not set, you set it to not-null? That part I don't get.
Then, if it's a number AND it's not a number (?!) and the types of the original & newly set var do not match you reset it to it's original value. But if they do match you leave the 'changed' keyword there? I don't understand that.
One concern that comes to surface is that you are changing a user variable (if they accidentally specify a variable instead of a const).
If the function fails or there is a parallel process, a the changed value will be returned.
Could you explain a bit more about this approach? I'm just not getting it I guess.
Brett Zamir
on 2008-12-21 07:41:18
Whoops... forgot to reassign the variable I temporarily changed:
function defined (constant) {
var returnval;
var tmp = window[constant];
window[constant] = window[constant] ? 'changed'+window[constant].toString() : 'not-null';
if (typeof window[constant] === 'number' && isNaN(window[constant])) { // NaN
returnval = typeof tmp === typeof window[constant];
if (!returnval) {
window[constant] = tmp;
}
return returnval;
}
returnval = window[constant] === tmp;
if (!returnval) {
window[constant] = tmp;
}
return returnval;
}
Brett Zamir
on 2008-12-21 02:42:10
Here's an implementation which works with the 'const' keyword. Tested with NaN, booleans, numbers, strings, arrays, objects, regular expression literals.
const a = 5;
var b = 5;
alert(defined('a')); // true
alert(defined('b')); // false
function defined (constant) {
var tmp = window[constant];
window[constant] = window[constant] ? 'changed'+window[constant].toString() : 'not-null';
if (typeof window[constant] === 'number' && isNaN(window[constant])) { // NaN
return typeof tmp === typeof window[constant];
}
return window[constant] === tmp;
}

Output from T2 Fitting Program: fitEPGazz.py¶
The fitModelData YAML file and three data files are produced from the fitting program in CSV and Excel format:
- A results file listing all the fitted data at a pixel level in one table based on slices and ROIs. _results.csv(.xls)
- A Summary file of the mean and standard deviation for each ROI in each slice. _summary.csv(.xls)
- An aggregated summary file giving the weighted mean of each parameter for each ROI averaged over slices and pixels in each ROI. _summaryAgg.csv(.xls)
The YAML file and the three results files are produced for single data sources and data present in a study directory structure.
When the data is derived from a study directory structure, the filename includes the subject, the session, the imaged region, and the model used together with the appropriate descriptor to indicate the type of data in the file. The files are best saved in a T2/results/imagedRegionType/model directory at the appropriate point in study directory structure for the fitted data. This should be set in the fitModelData file.
3 # use a relative directory path when fitting data in study directory structure
4 # when fitting individual files it can be set to a complete path
5
6 resultsDir: T2/results/muscle/AzzEPG
When data is derived from a single file, the filename includes the model used and appropriate descriptor for the file. The directory where the data is stored is given in the fitModelData file. A relative or absolute path can be used.
When the T2 fitting program is used on single file data, then plots of the ROIs overlayed over the imaged region are displayed in in a single plot (Figure 1) and a representative plot of the fitting results (Figure 2) for a single pixel data set is displayed in a second independent plot taken from data from the middle of the data set.

11 red flags Black Friday shoppers should watch out for
by Sharon Feiereisen- Black Friday, the busiest shopping day of the year in the US, is Friday, November 29.
- Although shoppers will find great deals on countless products on Black Friday, there are some red flags to be wary of.
- We asked experts to list the biggest red flags to watch out for on Black Friday.
- Visit Business Insider’s homepage for more stories.
Black Friday deals are popping up sooner than ever.
In fact, all of November has been seemingly Black Friday-themed, with early deals marketed as “previews” flooding inboxes across the country.
While this means that shoppers no longer have to wait in line for hours after Thanksgiving dinner, it also means they need to be especially vigilant for scams and other deceptive practices that take place during Black Friday season.
We asked experts for the red flags shoppers should watch out for when it comes to Black Friday deals. Here are all the things they said to be wary of.
Don’t fall for early temptations — the deals could be better on the actual day of Black Friday.
It’s not easy to avoid shopping in the days leading up to Black Friday, given all the flashy early deals advertised, but Michael Bonebright, a consumer analyst with comparison shopping site DealNews.com, told Business Insider that self-control could pay off in a big way.
“Black Friday ads from stores like Best Buy and Target have set the bar really high for competitors like Amazon and Walmart with their pre-Black Friday sales, but while it may be tempting to pick up a TV that’s priced for Black Friday today, it’s important to be patient,” Bonebright said. “Avoiding early sales gives you the chance to score an even better price on Black Friday – and even if you don’t see a lower price, you can almost always get the Black Friday price on Black Friday.”
Watch out for deceptive store hours.
All shoppers should familiarise themselves with 2019 Black Friday store hours. Stores tend to open earlier than normal, with many opening the night of Thanksgiving to kick off Black Friday deals.
“The most important thing to note, however, is that some stores only give you a one- to two-hour window to come claim a door-buster, so you need to be in line on time,” Bonebright said. “These stores will often hand out wristbands or tickets for high-demand doorbusters, so if you arrive too close to the time of opening, you might miss the handout of those door-buster tickets or wristbands.”
Be careful with handing out sensitive information when you’re calling stores to put items on hold.
Some shoppers try to call dibs on certain promotions by asking the store to put items on hold. Be very wary of any pre-sale transactions, even in luxury retailers.
“Unfortunately, most retailers will not hold items for more than 24 hours without the client putting down sensitive information like your address and credit card details,” Coach manager Markia Boone told Business Insider. In the hands of the wrong person, your information can be used for fraudulent activity, so if you’re going to take advantage of pre-selling, it’s best to only go with a client adviser you fully trust and have a rapport with.”
Examine all delivery-related emails and texts closely — some of them may not be legitimate.

“As you’re expecting more deliveries this year, be wary of text messages or emails saying things like ‘there is a problem with your shipment’ or ‘a problem with your order’ and prompting you to click a link,” Frances Dewing, CEO and cofounder of cybersecurity company Rubica, told Business Insider.
“Those are common phishing scams that look like they’re from UPS, FedEx, or USPS. If you click the link, the next page will ask for your password or personal data (that they then steal), or the link can secretly infect your device (even your phone) with malware.”
Beware of fake offers from non-trusted and third-party sites.
In the race to get the best deals online, it’s important to stop and inspect the deals you click on, even when you’re on an online shopping site you trust.
 “Ads and banners along the side of sites are often from third parties, not the hosting site, so think twice if an offer asks for payment through non-mainstream, non-trusted sites, or asks you to log in to your bank or email to complete a payment.”
He also underlined that shoppers should always be suspicious of sites that require installing software in order to get the deal.
“Any legitimate coupon app will be available for download via the Apple Store or Google Play Store, so never download software from non-app store sites,” he said.
Don’t fall for unusually high discounts or sales.
Do your research leading up to Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Bethany Hollars, content director of the online deals website BrickSeek.com, said some retailers will inflate their prices leading up to Black Friday weekend so that their subsequent discounts seems more appealing by comparison.
“Gather the pricing info on your must-buy items several weeks ahead of time so that you have an accurate foundation to determine whether something is really a good deal,” Hollars told Business Insider.
Watch out for stores suspending their price-matching policies, or else you could end up stuck with a bad purchase.
“Some retailers will suspend their price matching policies during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and others will enforce a return policy specific to the holiday season, perhaps only allowing exchanges of an item or prohibiting the return of certain merchandise altogether,” Hollars said. “Make sure that you are aware of these limited time changes so that you aren’t stuck with a bad purchase.”
Read the fine print on coupons and promotions — your favourite products might be excluded.
When you find a great Black Friday coupon, watch out for the exclusions.
“Department stores like Belk and Macy’s are notorious for offering store-wide coupons that exclude many of the brands you care about, such as Levi’s, Calvin Klein, or Michael Kors,” Bonebright said. “Along the same line, watch out for department store coupons that secretly offer smaller discounts for certain categories. Typically you’ll see a coupon that says ‘20% off everything!’ and then there’s small text below that explaining how you’ll actually get 15% off furniture or another category.”
Be wary of freebies.
Few things are truly free, so be wary of any freebies and giveaways that require signing up for anything.
“At best, you’ll be added to a junk mail or spam call list and at worst you could put your identity at risk,” Bonebright said.
Beware of door-buster deals.
Some products are manufactured specifically for Black Friday, as they may not be of the calibre you’re expecting.
“These products are often missing key features or made of inferior quality, so make sure you research products by model number to read reviews, review the products descriptions, and features,” Andrea Woroch, a personal finance writer, told Business Insider. “You don’t want to end up with something you have to replace in six months.”
And you’d be wise to ignore deals on certain products that will get even cheaper at other times of the year — even as early as December.
Black Friday is a great time to buy many products, but for others, you’re better off waiting for another time of year.
You should save luggage purchases for the spring, when prices go down ahead of the summer travel season, Sara Skirboll, shopping and trends expert at coupon site RetailMeNot, told Business Insider.
And while you might find discounts on makeup and cosmetic sets on Black Friday, fragrances are best purchased closer to Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day, she said.
Meanwhile, you should hold off on buying new exercise equipment until after the new year rolls around “in tandem with New Year’s resolutions,” she said.
Shopping expert Trae Bodge said that products like outerwear, holiday-themed merchandise, and hardware, will be more deeply discounted in December. Further, while there will be some travel deals on Black Friday, she said the best travel deals will be on Travel Deal Tuesday, the day after Cyber Monday.


REQUIREMENT GATHERING
I hold stakeholder workshop to understand their business vision and user. The workshop was conducted remotely due to a distributed team. This made me explore new tools.
To understand the business I used the business model canvas (BMC).
As someone with limited knowledge on the industry, this quickly provided me with the necessary understanding about the customer segment (primary and secondary customers), the value they provide, the revenue model, the channels, customer relationships they maintain, and the competitors landscape.
Knowing the user:
We then created persona and empathy map for different customer segments to understand the users and build empathy towards them.
Based on the personas, we mapped out different possible customer journeys in Trello (Remote friendly tool) to gain insights on the critical touchpoints
USER INTERVIEWS
WeTrack built a loyal customer base with their customer centric product who often gives feedback in their product roadmap.
I interviewed and surveyed few users to understand their journey, pain points, experience with Wetrack and how they generally add a new software to their workflow,.
On 80% of them usually heard about a new software through Google while some relied on their professional network.
KEY TASKS
Based on the insights from the workshop, analytics and user research we focused on 3 key areas:
- Improving the UX of landing page and cater it for mobile users: Design a customer centric responsive website that would also reflect WeTrack’s brand through appealing visuals, clear CTA’s, concise messaging and granular analytics to measure KPIs.
- Automating the onboarding process: Design a self-explanatory onboarding process that would allow the customers to set-up free trials and explore the product without sales support.
- Managing different profiles with single login: Allow user to access and manage different profiles at once.
IDEATE
In this stage, along with the stakeholder's we did an in-depth analysing of the customer journey and competitors. We tweaked the journey accordingly.
We quickly moved into ideating and sketching. After working on several ideas we agreed on an modular design approach as it reflects WeTrack's unique competitive advantage.
DESIGN & ITERATE
Wireframes & Prototype:
Once the team had a clear direction with the journey, I created wireframes and prototypes with user touchpoints to see how each persona would interact with the journey. These wireframes were critically discussed with the team with quick iterations and then tested with the users.
Hi-fidelity mockups:
Finally I worked on hi-fidelity mockups with responsive design. I used the basic branding guide as a starting point to create a more inclusive pattern library.
I did few rounds of iterations based on user testing to come up with the final design. This was followed by specification deliverable and interactions with the remote dev. team as well as provided suggestions for SEO optimisation and analytics.

Rourke is a phenomenal passer for Ohio. His 68.2 completion percentage and 128.7 yards per game in 2020 pushed the Bobcats downfield in record time, and that was only over the course of three games. Had he been given more time, there’s no telling how Rourke could have progressed as a quarterback.
Rogers, on the other hand, rushes as well as Rourke passes. Rogers averaged six yards per carry for 114 total yards and two touchdowns last season. The UNLV transfer has talent, but he didn’t have the time to showcase it — thanks to the pandemic.
Last season, Ohio opted instead to take a two-pronged approach to the quarterback question. Instead of choosing Rourke over Rogers or vice versa, the two shared time on the field to give Ohio more offensive options. The duo have opposing playstyles, so the deal worked on paper.
It wasn’t the first time coach Frank Solich has implemented the two-quarterback system. When Rourke’s older brother Nathan played for Ohio, he shared playtime with Quinton Maxwell for a season, the difference being that Rourke ultimately won out as Ohio’s sole starter the next season.
But that might not fly this year.
It barely worked last season. It seemed that by the time whoever started had gotten hot in each game, they were subbed out in favor of the other. The constant change doesn’t help the offense and it doesn't help Rourke or Rogers either.
In Ohio’s season opener against Central Michigan, there was confusion at points as to which quarterback was supposed to be on the field. In the end, the Bobcats lost by a field goal to the Chippewas and were nowhere close to picking one quarterback over the other.
If the two quarterback system struggled in a three-game season, what will happen when Ohio returns to a full schedule? The constant shifting between Rourke and Rogers will only be a detriment when the Bobcats face teams like Louisiana and Northwestern in late September.
Not to mention Ohio’s opponents in the Mid-American Conference. The Bobcats played a conference-only schedule last season, so the entire MAC got a good look at how both of Ohio’s quarterbacks perform. That look will be worth a million dollars once conference play rolls around.
Ohio doesn’t need a solution right this second. Fall camp isn’t until August and anything can happen between then and the present. Both Rourke and Rogers are talented quarterbacks with plenty to offer Ohio.
But the Bobcats need to stop overloading their plate. They need to pick a man and stick with him. The offense —as well as Rourke and Rogers— will be better off for it. If there’s one quarterback at the helm for much of the season, the Bobcats will find a rhythm by rallying around him.
