How to Know if Someone Blocked You on Telegram (Alphr)

Telegram is one of the most popular messaging platforms today. It's used for quickly contacting your family, friends, and coworkers.

Do you suspect that someone has blocked you on Telegram? If you believe you’ve done nothing to warrant being blocked, try contacting the person in a different way to see if everything is okay with their Telegram account. But if you don’t allow others to see your activity status, you won’t be able to see theirs, either. If the user’s status is listed as “Seen a long time ago” instead of “Online” or the estimated time since they’ve last been online, chances are they have blocked you. Depending on your and the other user’s privacy settings, Telegram displays the estimated date and time someone has last been online. Like many other apps that provide communication services, Telegram also gives you the option to block a certain user.

Superior city clerk placed on administrative leave (Superior Telegram)

City officials are considering charges before the civil service commission to terminate clerk Camila Ramos.

The committee stated insubordination was the primary reason for upholding the disciplinary action. She was instructed to collect as many personal belongings as she could gather to bring home; anything not taken the day of the memo would require Ramos to make special arrangements with human resources to collect. In January, Mayor Jim Paine issued the disciplinary letter citing Ramos’s inappropriate and unprofessional treatment of staff; ineffective training and delegation of work; and insubordination, in violation of several city policies.

“Throughout her work with the UFW, Huerta organized workers, negotiated contracts (and) advocated for safer working conditions, including the elimination of harmful pesticides,” according to the National Women’s History Museum. Brown also formally declared April 10, Huerta’s birthday, a statewide holiday in 2018 — though her birthday has yet to be recognized as a federal holiday. (Huerta) fought hand-in-hand with Cesar Chavez for farm workers rights, and to this day continues to organize, protest and inspire workers and young leaders to fight for what is right.” Even after Chavez’s death in 1993, Huerta — who is still alive today — has continued her advocacy for decades. Besides taking a step toward honoring the labor leaders with holidays, Long Beach also hosted students from Cesar Chavez Elementary School, who performed a folkloric dance in honor of Huerta and their campus’s namesake. Chavez and Huerta employed several nonviolent tactics in their protests against unfair labor conditions — including hunger strikes and large-scale boycotts.

OPINION: My why (The Torrington Telegram)

Back in late January, I saw a Twitter post from a friend and Neosho County (Kansas) Community College baseball coach Steve Murry. The post was simple.

Let’s not dwell on what games the Telegram did or did not cover. Let’s celebrate the kids. That means the world to me, and it’s why I keep coming back game after game. Why do I do what I do? I feel like it is my conviction. I feel like it is my calling.

“He is going to be deeply missed and his loss will be felt everywhere in our communities. I’m preparing as best I can and having as many conversations as I can with my dad but I really don’t want to lose him to cancer – I hate cancer.” “It’s the thing I was meant to do and I started by helping my uncle (Anthony) at his shop in Scottsbluff.” “He taught me everything I need to know and he means a lot to our community so I’m glad we were able to honor him in some fashion.” For decades, Dennis has continued to serve his community, especially kids, to ensure all children had a happy childhood and that none went without the basic childhood memory, such as riding a bike or getting to talk to Santa. Chris fixed up his grandfather’s 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner, a project the pair had started together, to run in the car parade on Saturday. “He raised us three boys on his own and was always there for us and his grandchildren.” “Monies donated from Saturday’s event will be used to continue this event – in memory of Dennis Grubbs.” “He made all our birthday cakes – for us kids and now his grandkids, he baked them all and he was really good at it,” son Bill Grubbs said. Bill recalled how his dad, Dennis, would call all of his grandchildren to ensure they were up and ready for school before he got too sick to do so. “We traveled a lot with him being in the service and he learned how to make foods from pretty much everywhere.” However, the family says Dennis is determined to make it to his grandson’s birthday next month in April.

Blockchain messaging is going to replace Telegram and Discord (Cointelegraph)

Your crypto wallet will become your mailbox and dethrone Web2 messaging platforms like Discord and Telegram, according to Darius Mock.

While there are challenges associated with their adoption, such as scalability and the risk of misuse, the benefits of Web3 messaging protocols outweigh the risks. As blockchain technology continues to evolve, we can expect to see more innovation in the realm of Web3 messaging, paving the way for a new era of communication that makes the old apps obsolete. Web3 messaging applications have the potential to revolutionize the way we communicate, allowing for a new level of privacy, security and transparency. Further, it is easy for the recipient of a message to prove the authenticity of the message sender. Proving the authenticity of a sender is extremely easy when using Web3 messaging applications and massively lowers the chance of becoming the victim of a scammer, as it can be quickly verified on-chain. This editorial will discuss the benefits and challenges of Web3 messaging applications and their impact on the future of communication.

But users can also use stablecoins on its network. USDT is the third-largest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin and Ethereum, with a market cap of $78 billion.
