Dear Duane,    (01)

Well if you want to get into that sort of thing, try what I think of
as a Global Business Day. This consists of each timezone for a 24 hour
nominally from midnight to midnight (but the business days may vary)
and of course some parts of the timezone might have daylight saving,
and others not. If you are a global business, this idea of a day is
what your accounts are based on...    (02)
