Description
Changes the time zone offset of date without changing the actual point in time identified by the date. The values of the other components of date are adjusted to reflect the new time zone.
The new-time-zone-offset argument should represent the offset from GMT, in minutes. Thus, if you wish to specify a new offset representing EST, which is 5 hours behind GMT, new-time-zone-offset should have the value -300.
