* This initial setup, which involves setting the OAuth1 properties and connecting
* to api.twitter.com, is only required once at the beginning.  Once connected, the same
* object instance may be re-used, and if necessary, it will automatically reconnect
* as needed.

* Assume we've previously obtained an access token and saved it to a JSON file..

* Add list of media_ids to associate with the Tweet. 
* You may include up to 4 photos or 1 animated GIF or 1 video in a Tweet.
* The image needs to have been previously uploaded.  The upload response gave us
* the media ID we'll use to associate this tweet with the image (or video)
* See Twitter Upload Media for sample code.
* This example will add just a single image/photo.
