Twitter API: Up and Running: Learn How to Build Applications with the Tw

The purpose of Twitter API: Up and Running is to provide an introduction to using the Twitter API--the means to get at the rich Twitter data--to build web applications. This book has three main parts: an overview of the Twitter ecosystem and culture; background information on the languages and environment you need to create your applications; and working code for a suite of sample applications meant to get you started on your programming adventure. As Twitter lowers barriers to publication through its simplicity, so this book will provide easy access to the skills and resources you'll need to build web applications for its API. From Author Kevin Makice One of the strengths of Twitter is its flexibility. Every information stream is unique and can be customized in the way that best fits the individual at that moment. Are you getting too much information? Unfollow some people. Do you not have time to tweet? Don’t. Want to chat with your two best buds for an hour and chase away all your other followers? Feel free. Because of this versatility, there are no universal rules for how to behave on Twitter; each user can control his own experience. Meet the Sample Apps This small suite of sample web applications is offered to you as a way to illustrate use of the Twitter API, the collection of web service methods that bring Twitter data into third-party programming. These applications explore some common reasons to access the API: Administration Tool A master account is needed to do things like send direct messages and conduct data mining on the backend. Unlike most of the user-driven tools, the master account must be available even when the account holder (you) isn’t around to log in. This simple tool allows the master account’s password to be saved to the database in a safe way. Only you will use this tool. In fact, without knowing the password attached to the master Twitter account, others shouldn’t be able to do anything with this application. Tweet Publisher This application is a straightforward status updater. To publish to your own timeline, enter your Twitter account information and a short 140-character message. After doing so, you will see a link to the new tweet. Auto Tweet Each member account can be associated with a single RSS or Atom feed, from which a new tweet will be automatically generated. There is an automated task associated with this application that checks each registered feed for new content in six-hour cycles and posts the most recent article. Tweet Broadcast This is an aggregation tool, where you can collect daily tweets from a handful of other Twitter members into a single RSS item. An RSS feed is generated that contains information for up to 20 days of activity, collected by an automated task that checks for new tweets once a day. Each member account can have one aggregation feed. Tweet Alert Tracking tweets based on keywords is made easy with the Twitter search API. Each member can list a few keywords in Tweet Alert and receive a notification when any of those terms appears in a public tweet. The content scans are performed every 15 minutes. If a match is found—and the member is following your master Twitter account—a direct message is sent to that member with a link to the search results. Network Viewer Probably the most useful among the suite of tools, this web application allows Twitter members to see the profile images of all the people they’re following. Private accounts are outlined in red, and (in most modern browsers) mousing over each picture reveals additional detail about that member.

Masters of the Big House: Elite Slaveholders of the Mid-Nineteenth-Centu

William Kauffman Scarborough has produced a work of incomparable scope and depth, offering the challenge to see afresh one of the most powerful groups in American history—the wealthiest southern planters who owned 250 or more slaves in the census years of 1850 and 1860. The identification and tabulation in every slaveholding state of these lords of economic, social, and political influence reveals a highly learned class of men who set the tone for southern society while also involving themselves in the wider world of capitalism. Scarborough examines the demographics of elite families, the educational philosophy and religiosity of the nabobs, gender relations in the Big House, slave management methods, responses to secession, and adjustment to the travails of Reconstruction and an alien postwar world. AUTHOR BIO: A professor of history at the University of Southern Mississippi, William Kauffman Scarborough is the author of The Overseer: Plantation Management in the Old South and editor of The Diary of Edmund Ruffin. He is a recipient of the B. L. C. Wailes Award and the Richard Wright Award for Literary Excellence for the entire body of his work. A past president of the Mississippi Historical Society and the St. George Tucker Society, he lives in Hattiesburg.

Feed My Sheep

"I have been impressed with two things. The first is that everything that could be said about preaching has already been said, and said better than I could say it. The second is that I know very little about the subject and feel that I have failed in almost every point to be a real preacher and a strong preacher, much less a great preacher."With that warning, H.M.S. Richards, the "preacher's preacher," went on to deliver an exceptional series of lectures to preachers and seminarians in 1957 that, in published form, soon became a classic. Brimming with anecdotal gems from his vast experience in evangelism and gleaned from his wide reading, Feed My Sheep has become a treasured manual on preaching for several generations of pastors. The counsel seems strikingly contemporary ("The smaller the pulpit, the better"; "Vital preaching is almost always conversational"; "Preach without notes"), while the stories seem timeless.Most of all, Pastor Richards argues that the only preaching that changes lives is that which centers upon the incomparable Christ, "He of the pierced hands." Few books offer more information–and inspiration–per paragraph; few will light such a lively fire in the soul. Book Specs Paper BackPublisher: Review & Herald Publishing AssociationPrinted: 2005Pages: 335 Table of Contents Lecture 1 What is Preaching? Lecture 2 The Preacher Himself Lecture 3 Ordained to Preach Lecture 4 "We Preach Christ Crucified" Lecture 5 "Feed My Sheep" Lecture 6 The Preacher Talks Back Lecture 7 Reading to Preach Lecture 8 "So Great a Cloud of Witnesses" Lecture 9 The Tongue of Fire
