// Creating a new Highchart object for each chart gets very repetitive.
// Using jQuery extend, we can create charts with a predefined set of
// defaults.
//
// EXAMPLE:
//
//   var fooChart = {
//     chartContent: 'DOM_id_of_element_for_render',
//     options: {
//       // Custom chart options, place Highchart params here
//       chart: { zoomType: 'x' },
//       series: [{ data: days }]
//     }
//   };
//
//   fooChart = $.extend(true, {}, bcgChart, fooChart);
//   fooChart.init(fooChart.options);
//   fooChart.create();
