									// Best results in left or right regions.
		config: {
			// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
			location: "Amsterdam,Netherlands",
			locationID: "", //Location ID from http://openweathermap.org/help/city_list.txt
			appid: "abcde12345abcde12345abcde12345ab" //openweathermap.org API key.
