Manage multiple filters on the same Twitter stream

//example of using streams, using directly the twit library (via getApiClient)

    'orange',
    'kiwi',
    'apple',
    'lemon',
    'coconut',
    'Luke',
    'Leia',
    'Han',
    'Yoda'
  ]});

var count = 0;

stream.on('connect', function() {
