Advocates urge Utah's governor to veto tax cut to make sure the state doesn't lose COVID-19 relief funds
Voices for Utah Children also wants state lawmakers to refrain from considering further cuts.
(Rick Egan | Tribune file photo) Matthew Weisntein, with Voices for Utah Children, calls on legislature to include lower-income Utahns in tax reform, during a news conference at the Capitol, Friday, March 2, 2018.

Utah advocates are warning that new state tax cuts could put at risk millions of dollars in federal coronavirus aid and are urging Gov. Spencer Cox to veto the only tax relief proposal he hasn't yet signed.
Voices for Utah Children lobbied against the $100 million tax cut package that the Legislature approved during its recent session — with the nonprofit arguing that the state needs the money for other priorities, such as full-day kindergarten and mental health and substance abuse treatment.
And because of a provision in the $1.9 trillion federal coronavirus relief signed into law this week, the nonprofit's leaders say Utah's tax cuts will be even more costly than they initially thought.
"Now we learned this week that their price has just doubled," Matthew Weinstein, with Voices for Utah Children, said in a Friday news release. "Because the new federal COVID relief law penalizes states for tax cuts on a dollar-for-dollar basis, they will actually cost Utah $200 million of revenue next year, not just $100 million."
State budget managers have estimated that the American Rescue Plan will direct about $2.7 billion in federal funds into Utah's state and local government coffers. The state government is expected to get about $1.52 billion, with $1.09 billion going to local governments and the remainder for capital projects.
The plan indicates that states should not use this funding "to either directly or indirectly offset a reduction" in revenues from any tax cut approved after March 3. These restrictions stay in place until after state and local governments spend all of the relief money — which they have until 2024 to do.
Weinstein interprets that to mean Utah will lose $1 in federal aid for each $1 it provides in state tax relief this year.
However, a spokeswoman for the Utah Senate says she doesn't think the federal bill's prohibitions would apply to the state's new tax cuts, noting lawmakers set aside funding for these relief measures back in December and approved them more than a week before the American Rescue Plan passed Congress.
"If the state were to use the federal money to plug a deficit, I could see how one might argue that the federal funds indirectly financed tax cuts," Aundrea Peterson, spokeswoman for the Senate, said. "But it is expected Utah's state revenue will continue rising, and the federal funds would be used for additional spending on one-time projects."
Cox on Thursday signed two of the state's tax relief bills, one that puts nearly $53 million toward restoring Utah's income tax dependent exemption and another that creates an income tax credit for military retirement pay. He has not yet endorsed the third and final piece of the tax package enacting a tax credit for Social Security recipients.
"We're working to understand how the recently passed American Rescue Plan Act affects actions taken during the legislative session," Jennifer Napier-Pearce, Cox's spokeswoman, said in response to the Voices for Utah Children analysis. "This assessment will be considered as part of the governor's bill review."
Congressional Democrats added language barring tax cuts to the American Rescue Plan to stop states from using COVID-19 relief money to pay for tax relief — a decision that drew condemnation from Republican U.S. Rep. John Curtis.
"It is unconscionable that the federal government passed legislation that prevents Utah from giving taxpayers their own dollars back, effectively punishing Utahns for being responsible and making hard financial decisions to keep the state afloat during the COVID-19 pandemic," Curtis said in a statement Friday. "This is just one consequence of a partisan legislative process — House Democratic leadership didn't adopt a single one of the hundreds of Republican-offered amendments."
Weinstein acknowledges that it's not yet clear how the federal government will enforce the prohibition on using relief dollars to backfill a tax cut, but he noted several states are also concerned about paying a penalty.
Though Missouri lawmakers are pushing forward with a reduction in state income tax rates, Republican legislators say they are looking at whether such a move could threaten their eligibility for federal aid, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. And a top legislative leader in Georgia has written to the U.S. Treasury secretary asking her not to block that state's tax cut proposals, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Even if this year's Utah tax cuts are already a done deal, Weinstein said he hopes state officials will hold off on considering any new ones until they're no longer in danger of losing federal dollars.
State officials are allowed to spend federal relief money to address the COVID-19 emergency and offer help to businesses, nonprofits and others impacted by the pandemic, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. They can also use those funds for essential worker pay; for water, sewer and broadband projects; and to prop up government services that would otherwise be impacted by a pandemic-related revenue loss.
But Weinstein's group argues that Utah shouldn't be cutting taxes right now in any event. Instead of relinquishing that $100 million in revenue, he said, the state could've used it to provide all-day kindergarten at an estimated cost of $52.5 million or set aside $59 million to cover all of the state's uninsured kids.
"Tremendous unmet needs remain and we cannot lose federal funds at this time," Moe Hickey, CEO of Voices for Utah Children, said in a statement. "We urge Gov. Cox to consider whether it may be best to save these tax cuts for future consideration now that their price tag has doubled."

The quirky, laid-back town sets the tone for a Madeline Island vacation.
Perhaps you've arrived at Wisconsin's Madeline Island with no plan beyond watching the sparkling waters of Lake Superior from your own temporary hideaway. But before you can settle in a house (rented for a week or owned for generations), pitch your tent at the one of the beachside parks or pedal the island's flat roads for a day, the town of La Pointe demands your attention.
The ferry unloads summer vacationers in this rumpled village, which is part island-vibe hippie (witness the dreadlocks and flowing skirts), part Midwest reserve (don't expect small talk at the town's two grocery stores), part open-air art exhibit (a car has been transformed into a mermaid). La Pointe can shock, especially since the ferry launches from Bayfield, filled with spiffy Victorian homes, fudge shops and gift stores.
Turned off by the disheveled looks of Madeline's center of commerce, some people drive their cars, laden with food and goods, off the ferry and straight to some far-flung retreat. Don't be one of those people. Because while Madeline Island beyond La Pointe offers exquisite natural beauty, La Pointe has a quirky charm, and it could grab your heart as much as any Superior-splashed shoreline.
You'll get to those, but stop in La Pointe first and often.
The Madeline Island Public Library is the place that best evokes all that is Madeline. The building is a survivor, like many of the resilient 300 or so year-round residents that tough it out here through windswept winters; it is housed in a former schoolhouse, circa 1872, that's been moved several times.
Goods purchased at the Friday morning farmers market in La Pointe, Wis., include farm-fresh veggies, a commodity that can be hard to find on Madeline Island.
The front porch of this clapboard building has columns colorfully outfitted by knit-bombers (there's that Madeline Island folk-art flair) and rocking chairs (signifying the laid-back nature of the place). Inside, the wooden floor creaks as people move around the stacks (it's a little tattered, just like the island), and bronze roosters and needlepoint wall hangings ensure no space goes unused (the place doesn't take itself too seriously). Librarians grant visitors their own library card (kindness is another island staple). During the summer, the upstairs community room holds morning classes for children that include jewelry-making and weaving (1-715-747-3662; madisland.wislib.org).
For a more detailed and curated look at the island's history, there is the Madeline Island Museum. It offers fascinating displays on Ojibwe culture, fur trading and the traditions of summer vacationers. The museum is housed in several buildings; some are historic, including the last surviving structure from the American Fur Company's island post. The museum has partnered with Madeline Island Wilderness Preserve to present talks on the natural life of the island on many Wednesday nights through the summer (1-715-747-2415; madelineislandmuseum.org; info on the preserve at miwp.org).
Across the street from the museum, a mini-golf course challenges players with obstacles designed as local landmarks in miniature. The tiny-town course was upgraded a few years ago, its sagging structures shored up and torn turf replaced. The sporadic hours are helpfully announced on a chalkboard.
After a rousing game of mini-golf, there is but one thing to do: Refresh with an ice cream cone from Grampa Tony's. The food, from breakfasts to dinner pizzas, can be enjoyed on a second-floor balcony overlooking the lake. But ice cream is best savored outside, on one of many picnic tables or Adirondack chairs (1-715-747-3911).
Tom's Burned Down Cafe resembles a pirate ship washed ashore; its decor leans toward junk heap and its anything-goes philosophies are announced on signs that fill the place. Among them: "Buy your mother a bottle. Remember, you're the reason she drinks." This is the laid-back spot for a beer and live music. A food truck selling insanely delicious and healthful bowls and burritos is often parked out front (tomsburneddowncafe.com).
Tucked beside the Tudor Revival St. John's Church is Woods Hall, a nonprofit marketplace for island artists. The store — selling hand-spun yarn, woven rugs, pottery and other handcrafted beauties — was started by the church in the early 1950s. The idea was to encourage islanders to spend the long winters creating goods they could sell when summer visitors returned. More than 70 artists currently sell goods there (1-715-747-3943; woodshallcraftshop.com).
Take a wood-fired pizza fresh from the outdoor oven, add a guitarist strumming ballads, and grab a table among ceramic vases and paintings of Lake Superior rocks. This is the Bell Street Gallery's Community Pizza Party, and it takes place every Wednesday during the summer. Diners bring their pizza dough and toppings (kits can be purchased at Grampa Tony's), arrange their pies at a table and watch them bake in the domed oven (5-8 p.m. Wed., bellstgallery.com).
Here's the really great thing about souvenir shopping on Madeline Island. It's quick. A handful of shops make for an easy amble. The widest selection, some on the upscale side, can be found at Dockside, across from the historic post office at the ferry dock (1-715-747-2314; dockside gifts.com). Mission Hill Coffee House has huge, sometimes disheveled piles of T-shirts and sweatshirts — and you can sip a cappuccino while you dig (1-715-747-3100).
Two grocery stores in town keep kitchens stocked: The Island Market is the place for newspapers and fresh-caught Lake Superior fish (1-715-747-6635; madelineislandmarket.com). Lori's Store leans toward Wisconsin goods, from beer to bacon produced by a popular Ashland, Wis., purveyor (1-715-747-5200). Those craving a wide array of fresh vegetables will want to head to the Friday morning farmers market across from the ferry dock. The newcomer Farmhouse is a natural-foods restaurant and mini grocery store (1-715-747-3276). Madeline Island Bakery offers fresh pies, cupcakes and other yummy treats (1-715-209-2622; madeline islandbakery.com).
The Madeline Island Historic Museum, near the ferry dock in La Pointe, Wis., includes several historic buildings.
Madeline Island Ferry Line (1-715-747-2051; madferry.com) departs regularly from Bayfield, which is about a four-hour drive from the Twin Cities.
Immigration authorities on Friday said that anyone with any involvement with marijuana, regardless of whether it's legal in the state they live in, can be denied from citizenship because the drug is still outlawed by federal law.
Through his eye-grabbing work, architect James Dayton made the Twin Cities a better, more beautiful place.

I love the last days of summer. Everything at the farmer's market looks perfect; I want to try it all. While I like almost any vegetable, my family has never taken to summer squash. Nevertheless, they don't mind it, when I incorporate it into homey treats like quick breads.
One of the biggest changes I made in recent years, was to start eating mostly whole grains. Although many people have given up carbs, it is the consumption of processed grains, such as white flour, that leads to weight gain and poor health. In fact the fiber in whole grains, fruits and vegetables is essential to a healthy diet.
Since I haven't given up cake, I am always trying to develop healthier baked goods. A neglected bottle of buttermilk motivated me to try to develop a whole grain quick bread with an outer crust as delectable as its moist center. The recipes I had tried in the past had been gooey, but the texture of the crust was either too rubbery or indistinguishable from the cake. I was hoping that the addition of buttermilk would help produce the texture the crust needed.
A search of buttermilk whole grain recipes led me to A Daring Gourmet post for Chocolate Deception Cake. While too rich for me, the recipe proved a wonderful jumping off point for creating a cake that is whole grain and contains two cups of zucchini.
I love spelt and whole wheat pastry flour for whole grain baking. Used alone (rather than in combination with all purpose flour) they create the light texture I prefer for muffins, quick breads and cakes. Although the recipe I referenced suggested spelt flour, I thought that hardier whole wheat pastry flour might be a better foil for all the moisture I was adding. Mixed with buttermilk, I found the flour to be the perfect ingredient to create a luscious cake with a tender crunchy crust.
I don't dwell on the zucchini component of this cake when presenting it to my family. I will leave that decision to you.
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper letting it overhang on each side.
Squeeze as much liquid out of the squash as you can. This will leave you with about 1 cup of densely packed zucchini. Put it aside.
In a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set it aside too.
In a large bowl, add the sugar, eggs, and maple syrup and beat until smooth. Add the butter, vanilla extract, and the seeds scraped from the inside of the vanilla bean. Beat until combined. Add the buttermilk and beat for another 30 seconds.
Stir in the pulverized squash until combined with the batter. Gradually add the flour mixture to the batter, gently folding until just combined. Be careful not to stir too much. Fold in the chocolate chips with minimal stirring.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Remove the pan from the oven and set it on a wire rack. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Use the parchment paper to remove the cake from the pan. Set it on the wire rack to cool completely.

Hardcover textbooks and worksheets are being replaced by digital content on screens.
As some school districts rely less on hardback textbooks, some parents find their children depend more and more on printed out material culled together into patchwork textbooks.
Cynde Kaply sits in front of her open laptop, looking at the teacher website for her daughter's social studies class. Her daughter is in middle school in Leander Independent School District. The website is supposed to have all the online resources her daughter uses for class.
Kaply clicks on the video notes.
"And I need permission," Kaply says, looking at the screen which says she needs permission to access the notes.
There's also a link to the online textbook. But that requires a log in, too.
Under state law, Leander ISD must allow parents to check out hardcover textbooks, which Kaply says she did. When Kaply and her son tried to use them at home, she says the hard textbooks were completely foreign to him.
Kaply turns to her son's notes, known as an "interactive notebook," where teachers hand out notes or quizzes and other things that they're supposed to glue into their notebook. That's what they study from.
"It looks like some type of textbook you would find in a third world country," says Lori Hines, a parent of four who lives in Austin, as she shows her daughter's notebook with a hand-written table of contents, taped-in worksheets and a few notes. Leander ISD says the notebooks are an organization strategy, but, for parents, sometimes they are the only accessible resource.
Kaply and Hines aren't the only parents struggling to navigate the new ways schools are teaching children. Across Texas, schools are replacing hardcover textbooks with other resources: digital textbooks, printed worksheets and online tutorials. As schools phase out hard textbooks that students can bring home, some parents are finding it more difficult to understand what their students are learning, or how to help them with homework.
To understand why things have changed in Texas public schools, it's important to go back five years to the 2011 legislative session, when lawmakers passed Senate Bill 6. The law allowed school districts to choose their own textbooks and instructional materials. It also changed the way school districts pay for those books.

He was frustrated – business was tougher than ever, and he felt his only weapon to battle this war with was, you guessed it – PRICE. Lowering it, of course.
Sad. Really, more than sad, put in biblical terms – the path to destruction.
But, it's understandable, without a reliable way to get new business at prices that produce a fair profit – janitorial companies, or really any business owner or salesperson can feel completely helpless.

Below is an overview of the Leonardo Power Quality Guide, which currently consists of 49 Application Notes.
There is much technical and conceptual information about Power Quality (PQ) available today – some is highly academic, some less so, but little if any is directly related to methodical measurement of end users' electrical installations specifically for Maintenance Managers.
Why are capacitor banks installed?
What kind of PQ problems do capacitors experience?
How are capacitor problems identified?
How do you analyse the measurements and define corrective actions?
In this guide, circuit protection is detailed as a way to ensure an installation is safe and functional.
This guide to static UPS maintenance first describes the working principles of a static UPS, then it explains the benefits of proactive maintenance. It lists the main issues static UPS may experience, and finally provides a step by step checklist of main attention areas.


The protesters held Tahrir Square last night—at no small cost. This morning at daybreak, there were hundreds of people with bandaged heads, broken arms, taped noses. The battle for the wide northern entrance turned nasty in the small hours. Dr. Sherif Omar, a young man in a bloodstained white coat ("Look at me, I look like a butcher"), who had been at a mobile first-aid station all night, moving back and forth according to the shifting front line, described pro-Mubarak supporters throwing Molotov cocktails from the roofs of buildings and from the highway overpass opposite the square. "They were fewer, but they had the elevated positions," he said. He described how the anti-Mubarak demonstrators had beat them back with a hail of stones, only to have the Mubarak people—"those mercenaries; we treated some and found crisp hundred-pound notes and police I.D.s in their pockets"—return with machine guns: "All the deaths were bullet wounds." I heard different numbers of dead, none confirmed—five, six.
It was early morning, and Dr. Sherif was tired. A man came by offering sesame rolls and he took one. As we talked, rocks were still being thrown by the overpass; we could see them over the top of the makeshift barricade built of ripped-up street signs and pilfered metal fence, from around a construction site, and augmented by a bus that had tried to ram through the defenders last night but which had been captured. A general appeared, with a few soldiers as bodyguards. He seemed to want to see for himself what all the fuss was about. He was angry and strode into the first-aid station, a semi-cordoned section of street. Dr. Sherif asked him why the Army had not protected them the night before. The general said that he could hardly fire tank cannons on people—and that anyway this chaos was the work of foreign forces wanting to destabilize Egypt.
The general turned to a young man whose head was bandaged. With a gesture of fury, he ripped the bandage off, pointed, and said, "Look! It is just a bruise!" (I saw clearly there was a small patch of dried blood near the man's hairline.) Then he ripped off another man's bandage; this one did not come off easily, because it was stuck with dried blood. Then, just as suddenly, he kissed the man's forehead and hugged him in a strange angry strangle and said that he wasn't speaking as a general, but as just another Egyptian.
Dr. Sherif's belief that many in the attacking crowd had been policemen in plainclothes appeared to be borne out. The protesters set up a small table and displayed dozens of I.D.s. At one point, a rugby scrum of protesters grabbed and manhandled someone they had found with a police I.D. "Don't hand him over!" yelled someone in the throng. Over night, they had held captured policemen in the metro station before handing them over the Army, who then appeared to let them go. "Don't hand him over, we should keep him!" "No!" one protester yelled back. "We'll tie him to the fence." Others shouted "Peaceful, peaceful" to try and calm the scene, and eventually those voices prevailed. The man was taken to a travel agency on the square; his shirt was ripped off and the words "POLICE OFFICER" were written in ink on his large and flabby chest. There was another captured police officer there, too, with his arms tied behind his back. I was told they would hold the big man probably until nightfall, because he was a senior officer. The other they would give to the Army.
The protesting crowd, still a mix of old and young, and every demographic —women in Fendi sunglasses and ones in full veils, poor men and many professionals—has become more determined and more organized since the battles last night, although they are still working without any hierarchy and outside any party lines. Barricades now block every entrance to the square. In vulnerable places there are two or three lines of barricades, garbage has been swept into stripes to be set on fire as a defense, and burlap sacks of rubble are being held in reserve as ammunition. Some people had found hard hats, and a lucky few had motorcycle helmets; I saw several men with paint buckets on their heads as helmets, a few who had tied a strip of cardboard with a piece of string under their chins as protection, and some who were using circular traffic signs as shields.
During the afternoon, more people poured into the square and rumors became increasingly worrisome. I heard that the Hisham Mubarak Centre, an activist hub, from which I had reported earlier this week, had been raided and several lawyers arrested. Just now, someone called to tell me that a friend of mine, an Egyptian journalist, had been beaten up by thugs on the way home and handed over to the Army. The Army said they would ask him a couple of questions and then let him go. So far during these past days the actions of the Army have been confusing and ambivalent but mostly neutral. I am waiting for the phone call to tell me he's all right, but it's dusk and I can hear gunfire again, and see a tank rolling over a barricade.

"Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is above rubies." Prov. 31.10.
One distinguishing trait in the character of Mrs. Bradley was a cheerful endurance of labor, however severe. Not far from the time of her leaving America, there was a prospect that Dr. Bradley and herself would be joined in their foreign field by Rev. Mr.—-and his wife. They were familiar friends of Mrs. Bradley, greatly beloved and respected. But their purpose was changed, and they remained in their native land. She then proposed successively to two young ladies belonging to her circle of choice friends, to come and take part in the work for the wretched and degraded Siamese, and to make her house their home. Neither of these ladies saw the way clear to enter the door thus opened.
Mrs. Bradley next wrote to a relative to make the same proposal to any single female possessing the endowments requisite for becoming a userul laborer and an agreeable inmate of the family. Miss J. H. Taylor, upon whom the choice devolved, readily consented to make the sacrifice for the love of Christ and dying men. Miss Taylor had spent two full yours in a course of education in Mrs. Bradley's native village, and much of that period in the family of her grandfather, and would of course be able to give many interesting particulars relating to that spot where many of her best affections centred—-"that dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest," Miss Taylor sailed under the auspices of the Board early in the summer of 1839, in company with a reinforcement for the Siamese Mission. They landed at Singapore about the first of December. The ship which conveyed them went no further, and the company were compelled to remain until they could find passage in such small vessels as that region afforded. In a few days, passage was obtained for a part of the number. Miss Taylor was one of those who remained. She however sent her letters, and wrote herself, announcing her prospective arrival. This intelligence, the first Mrs. Bradley had received concerning her, was as the breaking forth of sweet waters in a dry and thirsty land.
But He who rules the destinies of man had other thoughts. Just at that juncture, Mr. E.S. Minor, a missionary of Ceylon, visited Singapore with one of his two motherless children. He saw Miss Taylor, and was not slow to make her his prize, and bear her away to his home in Ceylon, made desolate by the death of an excellent wife. Thus was Mrs. Bradley's cup of happiness dashed untasted from her very lips.
In writing of the event to her friends in America, she remarked that she had large stores of enjoyment laid up, from which to draw many days of social converse with Miss Taylor concerning the home of her childhood and her maturer years. These anticipated pleasures had in one moment been swept away. "But", she added, "Mrs. Minor in Ceylon as a wife, mother, and missionary, will be more useful than Miss Taylor in Bangkok;" therefore she acquiesced cordially in the new arrangement. In writing to Mrs. Minor, after descenting upon her high duties and responsibilities, and expressing her cordial approbation of the course she had adopted, she added, "These are my reasonings. I do not say that I am not disappointed." None who knew Mrs. Bradley will suspect her of a tame, pliant insensibility. She doubtless had her conflicts on such occasions, but they were known only to Omniscience. Her meek, quiet submission was a triumph or reason, conscience, and Christian principles. Here was a religion of benevolence—of disinterestedness; it controlled the will, sanctified the affections, pervaded the whole moral structure, and influenced the actions of her life. A friend says, "I regarded her friendship as invaluable. I have known few who like her could give reproof without reproach, with a spirit and in a way which so clearly evinced that kindness was the sole motive of action. She could give counsel too, without arrogating supreme wisdom." Her heart was a deep and rich mine of tender, sympathetic, benevolent, and holy affections.
"During the day I teach Emelie Jane such lessons from books, and tell her such things as she can understand. At evening when the sterner duties of the days are finished, her father walks with her on the veranda, and has her relate to him what she has learned during the day.' By this practice the double purpose was accomplished of impressing the lessons upon her memory, and cultivating her conversational powers. And this last was done so successfully, that strangers as well as relatives in America thought they hadrarely witnessed such an exhibition of good sense and womanliness in conversation, in a girl not yet eleven years old. Her manner was neither bold nor assuming, but collected and unhasitating. She sat and talked like one who expected to receive attention; she had been accustomed to receive it, and always secured it. This dear child, to whom was readily transferred the love still cherished for her sainted mother, died in Oberlin, Ohio, July 1848. She trusted in Christ, and we trust he took her to his bosom. Dear lamented one, sweet half-blow flower, early transplanted into that upper garden where no rough and blasting gales can ever reach thee!
Aug. 24, 1838. "I have had the pleasure, as I often have, of pointing out the consolations of the gospel to an afflicted Christian. When I went away alone this evening I could scarcely refrain from weeping, that those consolations and the joy and peace of believing are so seldom felt in my own soul. I do love to hold the cup of peace and joy to the lips of another, though I thirst myself.
Sept. 11. "I have resumed my English and Siamese dictionary. I take hold of it with a firm, but perhaps not with an energetic hand. Visited the major-general of his majesty's forces today. The old man propounded several questions relative to the conjugal relation, and appeared much pleased with the answers. How little true happiness is found in the harems of this people.
Oct. 3. "The Lord prospered the labor of my hand today, so that I succeeded in placing twenty-eight words in the dictionary. When I see many, many pages entirely unwritten, I cannot but continually feel it a great work I have before me.
Nov. 5. "My dear husband has this day been ordained to preach the everlasting gospel. I have been somewhat cumbered with serving, but it has been a solemn day to me.
Dec. 11. "One man professes to have found Jesus. To use his own expression, 'he has come out of darkness and blindness to see clearly, even as if he had spectacles and spyglass.' He appears well, maintains family worship, and suffers persecution.
Dec. 23. "Sabbath. Felt strong desires to honor this sacred day before the natives, and found it a delight to myself. Conversed with young woman upon the worth of her soul. She de1iberately said that while she was well she did not think of these things, but if she was sick she would. May she be led by the Holy Spirit to think of them before she finds herself in eternity.
Dec. 31. "This year will close in a few hours, and its account will be sealed up till the judgement. Most of it is already thus sealed. It has been a year of weakness to myself, and of anxious fear respecting my husband. But we are all in circumstances of mercy this evening. Great changes have taken place in our company. With regard to my soul. I believe I have made some advances; but so far from having attained, I yet poor. It is my earnest desire that the coming year may witness a great growth of grace in me.
Jan. 10, 1839. "Went to the school today. I am unhappy in view of my inability to import religious instruction to these young immortals. Intended to write this evening, but Chau R. Fai came in, and I have spent the evening in looking over a vocabulary with him.
Jan 15. "I visited the school yesterday, which is the amount of what I have been able to accomplish yesterday and today. It becomes a serious question whether it is best for me to continue this department, when one hour and a half spent there unfits me for business for the day. I am losing strength; and if I am ever to gain, when will it be if not during the next six weeks of comparatively cool weather?
Nov. 23. "On the eight of October, the Lord gave me another daughter to train up for him. I cannot here record the feelings with which this gift was received from the hand of my heavenly Parent. She is an immortal, and the state in which she is to exist for ever may depend, under God, on my fidelity. Let me be faithful in bringing her to my Saviour now. My anxiety that the kingdom of heaven should be her portion increases my desire for Jane's conversion. It was a bitter hour when I felt that I must rise from my bed with the same frail body that I had borne about for two years. I was finally enabled to say, 'Good is the will of the Lord.' I had many plans of usefulness, which had been laid out in great weakness, with the fond hope that strength would be given me to execute them. These cherished hopes have withered, and these plans must be executed by others, if at all. I still have native children under my care, and must have for the present. I am unfit for such a charge. I ought to have no cares which will receive any injury but that of delay by being laid aside for a few days. These children lose much every day that I cannot attend to them. My disease has a tendency to render me irritable; and for this reason, I am unfit to have the care of native children or my own either. I consider it my first duty towards my fellow-creatures, to maintain a meek and quiet spirit. It is my constant prayer that I may have grace to do this, for it is impossible for me to do it in my own strength. Tonight, I went out in the boat. I am free from pain and surrounded with mercies.
Nov. 28. "I have felt much today for my children, in view of their being left motherless at a tender age. Perhaps my fears have little ground, but I do not think I have the prospect of many years. I fear this cough, that is excited by every fresh breeze, will become incurable. With such prospects, I can only leave my children in the hands of my Saviour. My husband is one of the best of fathers, but what father can be a mother too? It is under such trials that I feel the in estimable value of our God, of our Saviour. Yes, I can heartily join the Psalmist in saying, whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none on earth that I desire besides thee.' The portion I ask for them is, an abundant entrance into the kingdom of heaven. Not that they may have a worldly portion first, and give the remnant of their days to the Saviour; but that they may serve the Lord from their infancy. I dare not, I wish not to specify a single temporal blessing for them.

A: I believe this documentation "Order Processing with Inventory Management" via REST endpoints would be helpful to you https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.3/rest/tutorials/inventory/
Looks like you need to pay attention to Step 11 and 12 (https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.3/rest/tutorials/inventory/run-ssa.html and https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.3/rest/tutorials/inventory/create-shipment.html)
