Microverse ruby capstone project to build a bot

This is a solo project to build a bot by putting into practice the concepts of Object Oriented Programming (OOP) learned in Ruby Module. I have demonstrated the use of classes (and Module) in Ruby and how to access their properties and methods. Here is a brief description of my bot.

Paddy (@PaddyMyBot) is a bot built using telegram bot API. It has the ability to scrape news channels and display the latest news headlines in the user's chat. The idea behind this project is to enable fast paced individuals to be on the know by looking at news headlines.

1. Launch telegram app
2. Search for @PaddyMyBot
3. Read Description and click Start
4. Enter / to select news source
5. View first headline
6. Click /next command for next headline
7. Click /stop command to end session

2. Enter /help to see a list of commands
3. Click /newbot command and enter bot name and username
4. Copy your Token (or use /token or generate)

7. Open ./lib/bot.rb and create your TOKEN variable (KEEP IT SECRET) (Or create the variable in config/token.rb)
8. Run the following command to start your bot
