    format(ld, "M/d/yyyy");
    format(ld, "MM/dd/yyyy");      
    format(ld, "MMM dd, yyyy");
    format(ld, "MMMM dd, yyyy");
    format(ld, "EEEE, MMMM dd, yyyy");
    format(ld, "'Month' q 'in' QQQ");
    format(ld, "[MM-dd-yyyy][' at' HH:mm:ss]");

    ZonedDateTime zdt = ZonedDateTime.of(ld, lt, usCentral);
    System.out.println("\nFormatting zoned datetime:" + zdt);
    format(zdt, "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ssXXX");
