Hi, I'm Rachel and this video is going to show how to do a back carry in your Soft Structured
Carrier.
I'm going to show a method that is really quick and easy to learn if you are a beginner
at putting your baby on your back.
I'm going to start by holding up your carrier and you're going to put the waistband on your
hip.
I'm going to let this panel fall down.
I'm going to fold the waistband toward me and place it on my hip.
I'm going to loosen it slightly, take my buckle through the safety elastic, and buckle it
on at my waist.
I have it slightly loose so that I can slide it because what I'm going to do is I'm going
to put baby on my hip and then I'm going to slide the carrier around to the back.
I have it loose enough that it can slide but not so loose that it's going to push down.
So I'm going to tighten it slightly so I can slide it but it's not going to push down.
Okay.
The next thing I need to do to prepare my carrier is to loosen the shoulder straps.
I'm going to loosen them a lot, nearly all the way out, especially this back one (the
one toward the hip where I'm going to scoot baby).
Now I'm going to pick up my baby.
Are you ready?
Do you want to go on my back?
I'm going to pick up my baby and I'm going to hold him on my hip like I'm going to carry
him on the hip.
I'm going to take my hand underneath the panel and smooth it up over his back.
I'm going to take his arms underneath both straps so one arm under this strap and the
other arm under this strap.
The strap that's by my arm, I'm going to hold it for a moment with my arm.
Then I'm going to reach behind me and take my hand and grab it.
I'm going to take my arm into this strap.
If it's loose enough, I can get it all the way over my shoulder or I can hold it in the
crook of my arm with my elbow.
Now, I have baby on my left hip.
My right arm has the strap on the elbow or on the shoulder already.
My right hand is going to hold this front strap right underneath of baby's arm.
So my baby is totally secure.
He's got both straps under his arms.
I have one strap on this shoulder or you can hold it with your elbow and the other strap
I'm holding securely with my right hand.
Now I'm going to lift my left hand up and over his head like I'm going to do a swimming
stroke and I'm going to take my hand to his little bottom and continuing to hold this
strap, I'm going to slide him.
As I slide him, I'm going to keep holding this strap.
I'm actually going to hold both straps with one hand now to keep them snug.
Scooch.
Scooting him around until he is centered on my back.
When I feel like he's centered, I'm going to take my arm into this strap.
Now I have both straps on my shoulders.
I'm going to lift up holding my straps nice and tight, buckle my chest clip, and now I'm
going to take my hands to the strap here and tighten them.
I'm pulling down and back.
One side might need to tighten a bit more.
Alright, now I have him securely on my back.
I'm going to do a little bit of adjusting.
First I want to make sure that my chest clip is in a comfortable position.
I like it just below my collarbone but you can slide it up or down until you find a comfortable
spot for you.
I'm going to make sure my waist band is nice and snug.
So I'm going to take a moment and just kind of give that a little pull since I had it
a little loose to start.
And i'm pretty set!
I'm going to check and make sure these two sides are both evenly tightened and there
you have a quick and easy back carry.
To get down, you're going to reverse the process.
So I'll loosen these shoulder straps, leaning forward slightly.
Loosen it a lot.
I'm going to unclip my chest clip, holding both strap securely.
I'm remembering that I had baby in my left arm, so I'm going to take the left strap off
and bring it under my arm.
Now with one hand, I'm going to hold these two straps together.
I'm going to loosen my waistband just a tiny bit so it will slide.
I take my arm back sliding him back over toward the crook of my arm.
When I have him where I can almost reach him, still holding these two strap securely, I'm
going to lift my arm up and over him and bring him back to my hip.
Now I can take off this strap and we're done.
Alright so that's a quick and easy way to get your baby on your back with your buckle
carrier.
Thanks!
Bye!

New U.S.-China-Taiwan Relations: A Rebalance or a Reshuffle? - Duration: 37:44.
China has an honored place in our vision of a free and open Indo-Pacific if it chooses
to respect its neighbors' sovereignty; embrace free, fair, and reciprocal trade; uphold human
rights and freedom.
The American people want nothing more; the Chinese people and the entire Indo-Pacific
deserve nothing less.
Pence lashed out on China again at APEC.
What will the Trump-Xi meeting at the G-20 summit look like?
The simplest prediction is that there will be very little outcome.
Forty-six years ago, the United States severed diplomatic ties with Taiwan for China.
In hindsight, was that a good policy?
There's no question that we ignored and devalued the political progress and political
rights of the people of Taiwan in pursuit of a hopeful or optimistic approach towards
dealing with China.
So do you think the U.S.-Taiwan relationship will undergo fundamental changes under President
Trump?
Yes, I do.
Welcome to Zooming In, this is Simone Gao.
Every new administration rebalances foreign relations to some extent.
U.S.-China relations have been fine-tuned for decades from the Nixon era to the Obama
era.
Now that fine-tuning is disrupted by the Trump administration.
President Trump calls for Americans to wake up from a decades-long wishful thinking about
China.
Will there be a reshuffle of the most important bilateral relationship in the world under
Trump?
How will that affect Taiwan, Communist China's main rival, an extremely important ally of
America and a friend, who felt betrayed but never left?
I discussed these questions with Mr. Stephen Yates, who served as Deputy National Security
Adviser to Vice President Dick Cheney and Idaho Republican Party Chair.
Mr. Yates is the CEO of consulting firm DC International Advisory, and he spent years
of his life in Taiwan.
The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, or APEC, was held in Papua New Guinea over the
weekend.
This year, they didn't reach an agreement because China and the U.S. disagreed with
each other.
This is highly unusual.
1989 was the last time APEC leaders did not work out a group statement.
It is reported that four Chinese officials barged into the office of the host country's
foreign minister uninvited.
They demanded changes in the official communiqué.
The demand was rejected and Chinese officials left voluntarily after security officers were
summoned.
China dismissed the account as "rumors."
Prior to the supposed conflict, Vice President Mike Pence openly criticized China once again.
It comes after he declared an official China policy overhaul last month.
And let me be clear again: China has an honored place in our vision of a free and open Indo-Pacific
if it chooses to respect its neighbors' sovereignty; embrace free, fair, and reciprocal
trade; uphold human rights and freedom.
The American people want nothing more; the Chinese people and the entire Indo-Pacific
deserve nothing less.
Chinese President Xi Jinping rebutted Mr. Pence's account by pointing at the U.S.
as the one installing isolationist and protectionist trade policies.
Resorting to old practices such as protectionism and unilateralism will not resolve problems.
On the contrary, they can only add uncertainties to the global economy.
Only openness and cooperation can bring more opportunities and create more space for development.
This is a well proven historical fact.
One who chooses to close his door will only cut himself off from the rest of the world
and lose his direction.
China is the third-largest donor to countries in this region.
The U.S. comes fourth but is catching up.
Mr. Pence announced the United States' pledge to join Australia and Japan in helping to
bring electricity to 70 percent of Papua New Guinea by 2030.
The United States will also partner with Papua New Guinea and Australia on their joint initiative
at Lombrum Naval Base on Manus Island.
This move has strategic importance since the base is big enough to hold large naval vessels
and task groups, according to the New York Times.
So America and China were not on good terms at the APEC meeting.
It almost seemed that Mike Pence went there and disrupted a good show Xi Jinping was trying
to put on, considering Beijing financed roads and a $50 million renovation of a convention
center in the host city.
This APEC summit probably would have served more as a PR instrument to Beijing than anything
else.
The real show is G-20 in December where Trump and Xi will meet.
What will that meeting be like?
Here is my earlier discussion with Mr. Stephen Yates.
U.S.-China relations.
The G-20 is coming up.
What do you think will be the outcome of the Trump-Xi summit?
Well, my experience tells me that expectations should be pretty low.
Usually when leaders get together, they exchange talking points, they have some sense of what
each is seeking, and the simplest prediction is that there will be very little outcome.
And most of our leadership meetings are like that.
Occasionally it's different.
You end up with something like Nixon going to China or having a big fundamental change
in American policy.
I don't think this kind of meeting is a big fundamental change.
President Trump has just gone through a midterm election; President Xi is under what we perceive
to be strong economic and political pressure inside China.
I don't think either leader is looking to make big concessions in this meeting.
That's an important time to have a conversation between the two leaders.
I don't believe that President Trump feels the need or the desire to fundamentally change
his trade policy.
I think he intends to keep very strong pressure on China economically, at least through his
reelection campaign, and maybe even beyond.
These are beliefs about economic policy and the impact that U.S. trade policy has had
on American workers that he has articulated for several decades.
This is part of his political theology almost.
And so I don't expect him to make a significant change and concede.
What I'm hearing from the Chinese side, they send envoys to the United States almost
sounding boastful that they're actually in a strong position, from their point of
view.
And so, so far, on the U.S. side, what I understand, and actually agree with, on the Trump administration
approach on economic policy towards China, I don't see that changing.
And then what I see from China is more of the same theater of saying we're strong,
we are displacing the United States as the economic leader of the world, you are becoming
isolationist because of your protectionist policies.
And we have two leaders talking past each other.
That's what I think the G20 meeting is likely to be like.
That President Trump will restate his priorities.
He will speak in terms that say he's open to a deal, but it's a deal that President
Xi is not prepared to accept in my estimation right now.
And so the back-and-forth attentions, the on-again, off-again negotiations are likely
to go on for at least the next two years.
Then what's the purpose of this meeting after all.
I mean It is speculated that Xi Jinping initiated the request to meet, right?
Yeah.
Well, it is part of a pattern that, when major leaders go to these multilateral gatherings,
and we know President Trump doesn't like multilateral gatherings, that they'll have
bilateral meetings with key counterparts.
Even to American stakeholders, say, like investors in Wall Street and farmers and manufacturers
around the United States, they're feeling some of the effects of the trade tension.
And so it's reassuring to them to see our leader engage the Chinese leader even if they're
not making concessions or accommodations or reaching a new deal.
If there was no conversation going on, that could create a degree of uncertainty among
some of these economic and political actors that would be a problem for U.S. politics
and U.S. policy.
And so even though this is somewhat theater, I think that that theater has an important
impact on some key American stakeholders.
I expect that President Xi Jinping has similar needs inside China to be seen engaging the
U.S. president even if there isn't a clear, definable outcome to come home and say this
is what I got from the meeting.
So that's what I assume the purpose of this meeting is.
But I would put it at extremely low chances of a significant policy development coming
out of the meeting, even if something is announced, it's probably a symbolic announcement more
than a major breakthrough or change in the economic relationship.
But the difference between the U.S. and China is, China cannot afford a prolonged trade
war, the U.S. can.
I believe that to be true.
But as unimportant as I am, I believe that President Trump believes that to be true.
And, while there are many analytical fights among China experts and economic experts about
who's winning, who's losing, who's facing what kinds of risks and pressures in this,
the dominant analysis that the President of the United States accepts is that there's
more pressure on China, it's having a more negative effect on China's economy than
on the American economy, and there are large numbers of American voters and workers who
feel like decades of U.S. policy towards China has unfairly disadvantaged them.
So even if they're paying a price in the short term, a lot of them say that they're
willing to accept that price if it results in a rebalancing of the U.S.-China economic
relationship towards something more normal, more fair, more reciprocal.
And those are the words that the Trump administration has been using.
And those are ideals that a large number of Americans would agree with.
The key test is do we go through this period of risk and tension and get better results.
And so far, it's too soon to say.
But I support the direction the policy is going.
I don't think the president is going to change it.
And when the president looks at his 2020 reelection campaign, those states that are very key for
him to keep in his coalition to get reelected are the states where labor movements and other
activist groups were very critical of NAFTA and of U.S.-China trade.
And so what he's done on trade negotiations so far is very much aimed at those geographies,
and I think he has to keep consistent with his policies.
So that makes me wonder what Xi Jinping's thinking is even more.
If President Trump won't make concessions and China can't afford a prolonged trade
war.
What is he going to do?
Well, I would say, somewhat candidly, I don't care what he does because it's his job to
figure that out.
The biggest obstacle, though, for American policy, and I think for the benefit of the
Chinese people, is how effective are we in helping the Chinese people know the truth
about the economic impact this has?
Because the Communist party still has near total control on information.
They can make up their own statistics; they can make up their own leadership statements;
and they can say that they are doing better off than they are.
And there could be a large number of Chinese people that think, well, maybe I'm the only
one feeling this pain.
Or my village is the only one feeling this pain, but the rest of China is doing okay.
And out of a sense of patriotism, they're willing to sacrifice in their own small universe
if bigger China is doing better.
And that kind of propaganda has protected Communist Party leaders for a very, very long
time.
So I do believe that the Chinese economy has faced some difficulties.
Even just in stock markets we can measure what the cost of recent changes has been.
But the key challenge is do a large number of Chinese people see that this is a broader
problem, not just a narrow one for them and where they live and that their leaders are
perhaps not giving them the whole truth.
And only then would the Chinese people be prepared to be able to put pressure on their
own leaders to make adjustments that clearly the Communist Party leadership has not wanted
to make.
Coming up: Has the U.S. started a new cold war with China?
But I come before you today because the American people deserve to know that, as we speak,
Beijing is employing a whole-of-government approach, using political, economic, and military
tools, as well as propaganda, to advance its influence and benefit its interests in the
United States.
China is also applying this power in more proactive ways than ever before, to exert
influence and interfere in the domestic policy and politics of this country.
Under President Trump's leadership, the United States has taken decisive action to
respond to China with American action, applying the principles and the policies long advocated
in these halls….
That was a scorching speech made by Vice President Pence on China about a month ago.
Is it a declaration of a new cold war?
This is what Stephen Yates has to say.
Talking about Vice President Pence's speech, people say that seems like a declaration of
a new cold war with China.
What's your opinion?
Well, I served in the White House when 9/11 happened and the so-called "war on terror"
began.
And one way that was talked about that resonated with me was that we didn't declare war on
the terrorists, the terrorists had declared war on us.
And it took until 9/11 for us to decide that we were going to systematically respond.
And that's how I think about the China challenge.
We are not declaring a cold war on China; China has engaged in a cold war against us
for a very long time.
Since when?
Well, maybe since the founding of the Communist Party.
And maybe that never stopped.
And at the very least, going through even the reform and opening period of Deng Xiaoping,
there were many things that are, to put it in President Trump parlance, China-first policies
that were nationalist, aggressively seeking advantage, and there isn't necessarily something
inherently wrong with that.
There's something inherently wrong with failing to recognize that that's what they're
doing and meeting the challenge.
And so when you look from the 1990s, especially forward, when we started to have campaign
finance scandals of Chinese business people and others trying to buy influence in our
political system, all the way through recent decades, where you have Chinese business people
going into companies and conspicuously being able to walk away with financial or technological
intellectual property to the point where there's competition or crippling of those companies,
we're just at a fundamentally different place now than we were.
And it's my estimation that it's been a part of a very systematic and cognizant
policy of the Communist Party to engage America in this way and basically benefit from our
strengths with the hope of bringing some of those strengths to China, which seems fair
enough, but at the same time to find ways to cripple us from within.
And that's the part which I think people are just beginning to talk about and have
more of an awareness of.
In my experience, there have been many Democrats who have had these kind of concerns.
I remember in the 1990s engaging in China policy debates with committees in Congress
and members of Congress, and there were Democrats that were very vocal about their concerns
on these ideas.
And so we're at the beginning of a conversation of -- not just what an American response would
be – in the Trump administration, in the new Congress, but also in Europe and in broader
parts of Asia about how do we organize and strengthen relatively free societies against
this kind of aggression.
And it's not an easy question to answer.
So I think that cold war was declared by China in engaging in these policies, and we're
just now beginning to talk about how to respond, which is not the same thing as actually responding.
So you are essentially saying the United States did not start a new cold war with China.
The Chinese Communist Regime has been in a cold war with the U.S. ever since they took
power.
And only now the United States starts to realize it and respond to it.
Right.
The fundamental assumption of the Nixon-Kissinger compromise with the People's Republic of
China was that the United States could look past the absolute brutality of the Great Proletarian
Cultural Revolution and look past the very obvious self-inflicted poverty that the and
other terrible policies of the Communist Party had imposed upon China.
We could Great Leap Forward ignore these weaknesses and flaws because the value of having China
balance against the Soviet Union in some fashion in the Cold War competition exceeded what
benefit we thought we could get by confronting these truths about where China was.
So we allowed ourselves to suspend disbelief about the nature and health of the Chinese
system in order to have geopolitical advantage in the world against the Soviet Union.
By the time the competition with the Soviet Union fundamentally changed, we were so accustomed
to this suspension of disbelief that we just continue with these assumptions.
And then the assumption becomes, well, if we just allow China to become more well off
and more integrated with the world, that that improvement in standards of living, in integration
into the international system, will change the nature of the policy of the Communist
Party of China.
And it will be communist only in name only, and the nature of the government and the party
will be one where our differences will become fewer, and areas of cooperation will expand.
And we can normalize what China is like and what the relationship between the U.S. and
China is.
That's been the theory.
And it's been the dominant theory in our universities and in our government and in
Republican and Democrat administrations.
We're just at the first time that someone's been willing, in a leadership level, to say
I don't believe that anymore and to start taking a different approach to how to negotiate
with a country that doesn't resemble this image that has been accepted for far too long.
So I think it's actually a very historic and important moment for us.
It's unclear whether we will stick to this different approach or whether we have pressures
in Congress and in the reelection campaign and, if some other leader is elected, will
they continue some elements of the Trump approach towards China?
Or will they go back to the mainstream, more accommodating view.
And that is something that only two or three more election cycles can answer.
Coming up: Will there be a fundamental change in the U.S.-Taiwan relationship under President
Trump?
At the APEC meeting, U.S. Vice President Mike Pence met with Morris Chang, who is leading
Taiwan's delegation at the summit.
APEC is the only major regional forum that includes Taiwan as a member.
However, Taiwan has never been able to be represented by its president at the annual
gathering due to opposition by China.
According to Taiwanese media, the Pence-Chang meeting is the highest level interaction between
the United States and Taiwan at the APEC summit.
Meanwhile, Pence did not have a sit-down meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
This is probably another blow to Xi Jinping at the APEC meeting since Beijing is super
sensitive as to who is meeting the Taiwanese on the international stage.
The Pence-Chang meeting is everywhere in Taiwanese media.
But does Taiwan feel truly secure with this administration?
Forty-six years ago, the U.S. severed diplomatic ties with Taiwan for China.
That left Taiwanese people feeling that Taiwan is just a piece of commodity at U.S. disposal.
It can be sold for a bigger profit at any time.
Do you think that will be the case with this administration?
Well, I get this question all the time in Taiwan.
There's a massive anxiety about being treated like a bargaining chip.
And no one wants to feel like they're just that simple chip.
They are a nation, a proud people, a democracy, significant economy, very well educated, integrated
with the world in many, many ways, and they want to be treated with respect, dignity,
and all those other things that people naturally want.
So they're doing everything that is – that they're supposed to, and yet still feel
at risk of being sold out.
And so that anxiety is very, very real and pronounced in Taiwan.
And, unfortunately, Taiwan has, in fact, been used as a bargaining chip.
The people of Taiwan had no vote over whether they should stay in the U.N. or, as Chiang
Kai-shek's government decided out of protest, to withdraw from the U.N. when the PRC finally
won the general assembly votes to enter in.
They didn't have a say in whether to advocate a one China, one Taiwan policy, which the
United States was probably prepared to accept in the early 1970s.
They instead were governed by a dictator that said no, there is a "one China" policy,
and the Republic of China is that one China, and we will not concede, and we will retake
the motherland.
That was, of course, crazy talk.
But the people of Taiwan have been sold out in a number of different ways.
More establishment or traditional foreign policy experts have come up with nice phrases
to try to make this sound okay, but there's no question that we ignored and devalued the
political progress and political rights of the people of Taiwan in pursuit of a hopeful
or optimistic approach towards dealing with China.
And so I am much more critical of the approach that has been taken, much more critical of
what I see as establishment foreign policy thinking on this, and the people of Taiwan
are not wrong to have that anxiety.
It is clearly possible that this administration or any administration could reach yet another
deal with China that would be to Taiwan's disadvantage.
That's possible.
I don't think it's as likely just because President Trump thinks differently than most
American presidents ever do.
And he – there's some debate about what it means to be a nationalist, but one thing
for sure is, if he's making unnecessary accommodations on Taiwan to try to get a deal
with China, that's weakness.
And President Trump hates to appear weak.
And so there are some elements of his natural approach to policy that should be reassuring,
that he's not someone that is going to be happy with or rush into making unnecessary
concessions.
And I think a lot of the concessions that American policymakers have given on cross-strait
issues or dealing with Taiwan generally, have been out of unnecessary weakness on the American
side.
So this whole idea that we can't allow leaders of Taiwan to freely visit the United States,
it's a profoundly un-American policy.
It's also one that we have not followed consistently with other countries with whom
we don't have diplomatic relations.
And Taiwan now is the only democratic society on the planet that we don't allow leaders
to come freely to our country and engage our people.
So I don't think that President Trump is as likely to be susceptible to that temptation
to make those concessions as other leaders have.
He's not interested in new world wars, major power conflicts.
One of the reasons he built a coalition to get elected president was to pull back somewhat
from a perceived overextension of American engagement in conflicts.
He was critic of the war in Iraq and somewhat a critic of the war in Afghanistan, which
still goes on.
And so he would be susceptible to the notion that, well, if you engage in these policies,
it increases the risk of conflict, but I think that to his core he believes in peace through
strength and that the best deterrence against some kind of a conflict with China is the
reality, but at the very least, a perception that he's just crazy enough to fight and
that America is stronger than it's ever been.
And that, I think, is the narrative that he would like to go into negotiations with.
And until that changes, Taiwan is relatively in a safe space in terms of being a victim
or a bargaining chip in that kind of back and forth.
But the great game for President Trump very much focuses on rebalancing, recalibrating
the U.S.-China relationship on security, economic, and other areas.
And if that rebalancing occurs, I think he genuinely is open to a businesslike, friendly
relationship with China, not necessarily the Communist Party, but with China and the Chinese
people.
So it's not an anti-China policy.
And I think he believes that.
So whether I'm wrong in my faith and the Taiwan people are right about their anxiety,
we'll have to see.
But for now, I think it's very low risk of the American position towards Taiwan getting
weaker.
I think there's a very high likelihood of it getting stronger.
And you think this is an opportunity for Taiwan.
It is.
You know, I have some sympathy for the people of Taiwan.
I spent a lot – a part of my life coming and going to Taiwan.
These are people who endured many decades of colonization and a dictatorship, martial
law, and then through all of that, even with diplomatic isolation, still emerged with a
very competitive vibrant democracy, successful economy, a good, well-meaning people who seem
to have world-class food that is there to welcome any guest at any time.
Clear, positive value to add to the world and its neighbors.
And so I think it's incredibly important to not just do them a favor, but honor our
own values by making sure that we're not imposing pain and restrictions on people who
have chosen this good path in so many other ways.
I also think it's a very important example to all Chinese people that they at some point
in their own way, if the people in Taiwan can outlive a Leninist dictatorship and martial
law and organize themselves to make their national leaders have to submit to their will,
well then the people in Jiangsu province can too.
Guangdong province can too.
And other areas of China can too, and should.
And so to me that's the other reason to make sure that the U.S. leadership and our
policy reflects the value of what has happened in Taiwan.
Have they?
This is what I'm going to ask you.
Has the U.S. leadership reevaluated their Taiwan policies, especially the one from 46
years ago and see if that was a good decision after all?
There has not been a systemic questioning or review of that, at least to my satisfaction.
And there are a handful or more other experts on China that are around Washington and around
the United States that have been in and out of government the way I have.
And we all basically see a significant weakness in the concessions made from the Nixon-Kissinger
consensus to the present.
And we have felt the power of the criticisms of the Communist Party against what we do
in our careers, against our ability to travel freely, and from the business community in
the United States feeling as though it has to accommodate the Communist Party's point
of view if they want their businesses to be able to enjoy the benefits of this rapidly
growing economy over the last several decades.
And so we are a minority view.
But I think that President Trump is the first opportunity to have a president that is open
to practicing true realism.
And true realism means seeing power and weakness for what it is.
And if you truly believe in advancing your national interests and are engaged in a global
competition to try to create as much advantage for your own people as you can – and I think
that's what President Trump's policy is fundamentally – then we have an opportunity
to break away from some elements of that.
But you will know that that policy has finally been subjected to review when we stop using
the words "one China."
Because the words "one China" is a form of communist manipulation and control.
If they're able to control the words that we use for our own policy, a policy that makes
no sense in the English language, then they're able to control our thoughts and our options
and our actions.
And for 50 years the Communist Party of China has been able to control American leaders'
thoughts, options, and actions with regard to dealing with China.
And President Trump has not escaped that entirely, but he's the first American leader in a
generation plus to show some signs of looking in that direction and trying.
And so whether it was President Trump or any other elected leader of the United States
that proves an openness and a willingness to do that, I want to support that.
So do you think the U.S. Taiwan relationship will undergo fundamental changes under the
Trump administration?
I do.
I think there's elements of that relationship that will become more normalized, whether
there is a formal diplomatic recognition is an interesting question.
I think that is possible, but perhaps unlikely.
But much more normalization of the defense relationship with Taiwan.
Fundamentally, the Trump administration seems to believe that allies and security partners
that have more independent deterrent capability of their own is a greater and more effective
challenge to Chinese aggression.
And so whether it's Japan, Taiwan, other partners having greater independent deterrent
capability is seen as positive.
And that will feed into more of a normalized defense or security relationship with Taiwan,
I believe.
And you hear words along these lines coming from the current defense department.
It could, and it should, lead to more normalized trade and investment relations.
For far too long we've sort of said, well, we can't have a bilateral investment treaty
with Taiwan because the word "treaty" implies statehood, and these are the verbal
games that the "one China" policy has been able to control the thoughts, minds,
and options of American decision-makers.
When they sort of sober up and wake up and they realize, oh, we can engage in a legal
agreement with whatever entity we want to, and China has no control over that, then we
can say, you know what, there's opportunity for America and opportunity for Taiwan to
engage in a new trade and investment relationship.
And if we set high standards in that, it will help America's negotiations with other partners
in Asia and elsewhere.
And so there's an opportunity there.
But it will take two to tango, as they say.
It'll take some innovation and boldness on the Taiwan leadership's part, and it
will take a willingness and an openness from the U.S. government.
I think that the most important parts of the U.S. government are open to this now.
So really it's – the opportunity is there, and when Taiwan emerges from its political
competition at home, maybe there will be some proposals that will be evidence of this trend
being manifest.
November 24th, 2018, is the election day of the 9 in 1 elections in Taiwan.
Taiwanese people will elect almost every level of their local government.
It will be a democratic display for the world as well.
Just as Mr. Yates said, decades of colonization, dictatorship, martial law, with diplomatic
isolation up until now, have not deterred the pursuit of democracy in Taiwan.
Taiwan is a touchstone for whether the Chinese people are capable of democracy after all.
And that judgement is as essential to the Mainland Chinese people as it is to the Americans
and the entire Western world.
Thanks for watching Zooming In, I am Simone Gao.
See you next time.

How to Do a Back Carry in a Tula (or other SSC) using a Superman Toss - Duration: 3:40.
Hi, I'm Rachel and this video is going to show how to put your baby on your back with
your soft structured carrier.
I'm going to start by holding my carrier by the waist straps with the decorative panel
turned toward me.
I'm going to fold the waist band down and then I'm going to turn around and place the
waist band on my back.
Then I bring my hands forward and find my buckle, bring it through the safety elastic,
and then I'm going to buckle it, making sure I hear it click.
Now I'm going to tighten it.
I like my waistband at my natural waist.
That's the most comfortable position for me.
You might want to play with your waistband positioning.
What's comfortable for you will depend on the size of your baby.
You have to kind of try and see what's comfortable for you.
Okay, the other thing I'm going to do before I begin is I'm going to loosen my shoulder
straps.
I don't want them too tight when I start.
If they're too tight when I start, I find it hard to get it nicely adjusted and I find
it hard to get the straps up over my shoulders.
So I'm going to loosen these.
I've loosened them a lot.
Now I'm going to come get my baby.
Would you like to go on my back?
Yes?
You want to come up?
Alright I'm going to show a superman toss with a toddler.
So I'm taking my thumbs and placing them on his chest, like this.
So I'm holding his torso.
Can you put your truck down for a minute?
No, truck's going to come up with us.
Alright, I'm holding his torso with my hands, not his arms.
I'm going to swing, ready, one, two, three!
I'm going to swing him up and over my shoulders, like I"m putting on my superhero cape.
Uh oh!
Your truck fell down!
I'm holding him by the hands for a moment till I can get my hand back here to his bottom.
So now I have my hand on his bottom.
He's not going to fall because I'm holding him.
I'm going to leave one hand on his bottom.
My left hand is on his bottom.
That's my dominant side, so Iike to hold him with that side.
My right hand is going to go behind me.
It's going to go under the panel and now I'm going to bring the panel over his back and
hold his bottom with the panel on it.
Once I have that panel on his back, I'm going to reach for my straps and put them on my
shoulders.
I'll bring this strap up to my shoulder.
Okay, now I can feel that the panel is over his back about up to mid back.
You can also glance back and make sure the panel is on his back.
I'm not going to take a hand off of him until I'm certain that the panel is covering his
back.
Now I'm going to take both straps in my hands and I'm going to pull up like a Y pull.
So I pull my straps up and out and I'm going to lift up on the straps and bounce a little
bit and what that does is bring the carrier panel a little higher on his back.
That gets him nicely seated.
Now I'll slide my hands down the straps and buckle my chest clip.
Then I'll slide my hands a bit further down the shoulder straps and until I find where
it adjusts.
And then I'm going to pull back and down until I feel like he's securely against my back
and he's not able to move around.
And there we have a back carry in your Soft Structured Carrier!
Thanks!

Auxiliary Verbs or Helping Verbs - Duration: 7:25.
Hello and welcome back!
Today we're going to be doing a video on the auxiliary verbs
or auxiliaries.
They are also commonly known as "helping verbs"
As you can see here we've written all the different affirmative forms
and here the different uses of auxiliary verbs
So let's start off with the compound tenses.
In order to create a compound tense,
I will need my auxiliary to help the main verb indicate the subject's involvement in the action.
So I'm going to use for example
this compound tense:
the past perfect continuous
because I'll need lots of auxiliaries there.
The past perfect continuous of "learn":
So past > I'm going to use my auxiliary "have": "he had"
perfect continuous > "he had been learning"
So I'm not only going to use this auxiliary
but also this auxiliary here
he had been learning
he had been learning
"learning" is my main verb in the present participle
so it's preceded by two auxiliaries
"had" and "been"
So that is one example of a compound tense.
Now let's use a less complex a tense!
Let's say for example: the present continuous.
In order to create a present continuous,
I need an auxiliary: "to be"
Let's use the first person singular:
I am learning
I need this auxiliary to precede the main verb "learn"
in this case in the present participle
"I am learning" = present continuous
Have a quick review of your compound tenses,
if that wasn't very clear.
But just in the meantime, focus on the various forms of auxiliary verbs.
Why negative statements and questions?
Depending on the tense,
we're going to use various auxiliaries.
Let's start with this particular auxiliary: "TO DO".
If I want to make a question or create a negative statement,
in the simple present,
I'm going to rely on these two forms: "do" and "does":
Does she speak English?
Question: Does she speak English?
I need the auxiliary, my subject, and the infinitive without "TO" of my main verb "speak".
Does she speak...?
And for a negative statement I could say:
Don't forget to add your "not" here:
He doesn't speak German.
This is my negative statement.
So as you can see we need this, with the inflection, showing it's the third person singular:
she or he does not speak German.
Those are the three first examples of use.
The fourth one is the passive voice.
This is just an introduction to auxiliaries
so don't forget to watch the full explanation of the passive voice in another one of my videos!
In the meantime, let's just remember that in order to create the passive voice we need the auxiliary "to be"
So an example of the passive voice would be:
This house was built in the 1950s.
"was" is my auxiliary
It is followed by a past participle,
the main verb is in the past participle: "built"
And "was built" gives me my passive voice statement.
Another example could be:
I was told this morning.
This is another passive voice statement.
"was" is my auxiliary
"told" is the past participle. This is my main verb: "to tell".
I was told this morning.
And one that I hadn't mentioned quite yet, is the last form that is here: the auxiliary "WILL"
"will" is an auxiliary verb and a modal verb
so that means that I should have written more modal verbs here
but I'm going to let you watch another one of my videos on modal verbs to fully understand them.
In the meantime this particular auxiliary helps me create the future tenses.
Let's see the future simple.
Example: I will learn
I use the auxiliary "will" followed by an infinitive without "TO": "learn"
That creates a simple future or future simple.
I will learn.
But I can also rely on various auxiliaries simultaneously, to create perfect or continuous tenses.
For example, let's do a future perfect:
I will have learned.
Here I need two auxiliaries followed by my main verb (in this case it's in the past participle "learned")
I will have learned.
This is in future perfect.
And if I want a future perfect continuous,
I'll use a different auxiliary.
I'll use this one first "I will"
then "have"
then "been"
So that is three auxiliaries for this tense
and then my main verb "learn"
in this case in the "-ing form", in the present participle: "learning"
I will have been learning.
= future perfect continuous
or future perfect progressive
depending on what term you prefer.
Those are many different examples on how to use these verbs to assist main verbs and create different scenarios, different tenses, different, viewpoints also.
Now a few hints here for you in the classroom:
whether you're a student or a teacher don't forget that most of these verbs can be used alone
not just assisting a main verb
they can be main verbs themselves
in that case they are called "full verbs".
For example I can say:
I do sports.
"do" shows me the action.
It's not assisting a main verb.
So that is the full verb.
If I say: I am English.
That is also the full verb "to be"
And if I say: I have siblings.
That is also using that verb "to have" as a full verb
and not as an auxiliary
Now don't forget that I've only written the affirmative forms
or positive forms so practise the negative forms also.
A thorough tense review is necessary at this point.
Coming back to this video after that review is a recommendation.
Finally don't forget that this chapter is linked in many ways to these other videos, to these other chapters:
question tags
passive voice
modal verbs
expressions with "make" and expressions with "do"
although that isn't grammar
it has more to do with lexis, with vocabulary
these collocations, these expressions with make and expressions with do
they're quite confusing for learners
so you might want to review "do" as an auxiliary
but also in expressions as a full verb.
Thank you for today!

-------------------------------------------
(ENG sub) Which is more important for working abroad, ability or foreign language? - Duration: 6:49.
Q1. Did you get a job to escape from employment difficulty
I don't think it was an escpae
There were many companies who wanted Vietnamese experts
So I knew that Vietnamese was a new trend
I have worked in Korea for 3 years
I also thought of how I could extend my career
So I thought of it as a challenge
I went to Vietnam as an exchange student
so I thought of getting a job abroad
Why not work abroad?
This is what I thought so I participated in one of the programs and finally got a job
I graduated university at Japan so, naturally I started to work at Japan
Q2. Are you allowed to leave early?
I never had to be self-conscious about when to get off from work
They didn't want us to work on trivial things
so they didn't tell me the specific time to leave
Not at all
I got off at about six ten
At six thirty, the air conditioning shut down
The light went off automatically at 7
Vietnamese company had the environment where you get off at the right time
You work for what you receive, so when you work late, you get paid that much more
The welfare, maternity leave are good
for California, you get paid more at night
They recommended use getting paid for working late
My conditions didn't include any late work shift
and that was the reason why people got off at the right time
"Why are you working late? They don't give you money for that"
Then I would say "Okay~~"
The company I worked for made me self-conscious
Vietnamese employee all get off at 5
It was mostly Koreans who worked until 7 or 8
Korean employee keeps our Korean culture(?) at Vietnam too
Even in other countries
PD: Couldn't you have worked in Vietnamese company?
Then you can't earn money
It's choosing between two options
Foreign friends told me it's mostly Koreans and Japanese who stay until late
And everyone else goes home
They asked me "Why do you work so hard"?
As far as I know, I think it's the Korean gene
That you have to work hard?
There's IT company called black company
They would give us money for working up to 40 hours
I've heard of that policy but we didn't have that
They didn't really care about when we were leaving
Q3. Is eating with your colleagues okay?
Only the people who wanted to come volunteered
so it was very convenient
It was not a must, and it didn't need to happen
One in a while, people would have lunch to have really good food
we don't have to go after work
we go at 3 or 4
So we drink beer and go home at 7 or 8
PD: You didn't have to get a cab after work?
never
Not once
But the company that I was in was rooted in America
I think it depends on the company culture
The company that I went to was a foreign company. The root was in Korea
so the culture fully reflected Korea, so monthly,
we had to gather up after each event
we drank a lot
so I think it was the same as Korean company
Q4. Is it hard to get a job if you don't have social network?
You are offered jobs with social network
you get lots of opportunities if your friends are employed
I think it's a bit hard without it
Me and my friends got a job without social network
For me, I participated in K-Move program, provided by Human Resources Development Service of Korea
so I got help from there
Housing, an renting houses were convenient to reach
from these kind of communities
Human Resources Development Service of Korea and the Ministry of Labor helps the people who are employed
to support themselves financially
I did a lot of searching
and went to foreign websites and select the interested jobs
Then the alarm would alert you
There are lots of recruiting fairs so if you participate
Then I think you can employ yourself
If you have a consulting career,
you can see where you can get in with your cv
Or they can tell you your strengths and weaknesses with free consulting
You can post on World job website, Kmove school, and get help with English resume
interview skills, and language skills like Japanese and German
you can use them as consulting
Q5. Can you go for the main job?
You can
You can
It doesn't matter where you're from
Your capacity and communication skills are more important
I thinks language really helps when you get the main jobs
If you can't show them how good your are because of language
Then you're not evaluated in the right way
you are misunderstood
and you can experience bad things
when your boss asks you 'why did you do this'
and the people who can speak good English can express themselves
but if you can't, you stop talking
Then you're misunderstood
Anyhow, your evaluation will not be good
When you have to pass them the memo from calling
(if you don't know the language) you can't write it down
so you should work on that
Q. Are there any tips for getting a job?
Introduction, showing your capacity and motivation
You should be able to precisely say this
You should practice these
For Japan, they are still conservative
You have to wear black recruit suit
It's conservative but necessary
When you first reach out for the job
It's important to consider getting help from government service such as Kmove program
There is a labor ministry which offers recruiting website
Or you can use World job which contains information about recruiting
I got enormous help from here
You can check out the K-move site
you can get the right education for your specific job
So I think it's a good tip
I work for one month and get 2000000won
And it increased this year
There are standards for financial support for settling
After you get employed, you should check the standards in Worldjob
For foreign companies...
you should really show your brightness
your special characteristics, energy and personality
If you can show yourself, then they would recruit you
you should use these as your tips
PD: Were there nickname you used?
My last name was Kim
so Kimu in Japanese
Kimu sang
I didn't really have a special Japanese name
What if there are a lot of Kim?
we didn't really have a lot of kims at our company

STAR WARS: Galaxy of Adventures - Good or Trash? - Duration: 5:28.
and we have the original trio back in animation form what do I think about it?
stick around find out. what's up everybody today I'm here to talk about
Star Wars Galaxy of adventures a lot of people are reaching out to me asking me to
talk about Star Wars and talk about this trailer so here I am going to give you my
opinion if you don't know or haven't heard there is a new series that will be
launched on the YouTube channels called Star Wars kids as well as the website it
appears to be a six short episodes and basically what they're doing here they are
recreating a de magic from the original in animation form of this is directly
for five-year-olds for kids now what's my opinion on the trailer now I'm fully
aware that this is for kids and you know there are types different types of
animations that some of them are more for adults some of them are for five
year olds or 10 year old teenagers and when I watch this one here as far as the
animation go it's very it looks a lot like anime but I didn't it's not really
my type of animation I didn't like it very much I thought that the animation
itself it's not great but I cannot lie there are elements of it that I thought
it was pretty cool and the elements that I really enjoyed it's pretty much
hearing the original voice of the characters I have such love for the
original trilogy I'm such love for all these characters and hearing them speak
it's just great so the idea itself I think it's awesome it's an awesome way
way to introduce little kids to the show however is this really going to be true
to what your regional trilogy was it looks like because they're using the
original voice so I'm not against the idea I think it's it's cool I don't see
a problem with it the only thing that I find funny is the fact that with this
whole new Star Wars the new idea of the last Jedi was to kill the old
so they could carry everything for with new characters but they don't that
doesn't seem to work the reason why is because they didn't gave us very
charismatic and very loving characters like the original trilogy so even though
they're trying to kill the old they don't seem to really get away from it
and now they're going back and making a series about it again that's because
they were unable to recreate that magic okay the magic that George Lucas created
with Luke Hanalei that adventure that you know good versus evil and Darth
Vader we didn't get that in the new series and so it's very it's ironic that
they keep saying about kill the past but there's no way they didn't get away of
it and now they I think they noticed you know they are taking notice of that and
they're using these characters again in order to make money but it's also in my
opinion it's a good way to introduce kids to the characters even though I
don't like the animation very much I think the way Luke looks a little he
looks like a girl and I don't know there's the definitions in my work I
don't know I to see an episode and see how I'll feel about it the trailer was
okay I didn't think was the best I didn't think was the worst but again I
really enjoyed the original voice I really enjoyed some of the movements
that Luke was doing because those are the kind of things there's a lot of
things the animation can explore that you know by the time when Luke when
George filmed he wouldn't be able to do it so it's it's interesting it's
exciting and that's pretty much my opinion again I am NOT against it I
think that is a great opportunity to introduce kids little kids to these
characters that were that to me to this day are the best that Star Wars has to
offer so I think this is a five year olds four year olds they'll probably
will enjoy this very much even I probably will enjoy it a lot you know
even though the animation was not my cup of tea
I know our artist by no means but I can I am a visual person I can tell what I
think it's really cool but it doesn't I'm
pretty sure they could do better but obviously this is just produced for
YouTube so I don't know if they're aiming maybe this is very successful
they might do it for their streaming service in the future who knows but yes
that's my opinion I'd love to hear your thoughts drop a comment below to get a
chance to see this trailer do you think that this was absolutely trashed or do
you think this was going to be good it's a good opportunity to introduce kids to
the original characters let me know and again if you enjoyed this video don't
forget to hit that thumbs up subscribe for more and see you next time

but I'd like to try sledding.
- Ice skating... no! - Sledding.
I'm doing sledding.
See, I'm just not a good ice skater so maybe that's why I picked sledding.

Excited, Aufgeregt or Begeistert? Big News for German Speakers!!! - Duration: 8:36.
I'm so excited! Ich bin aufgeregt. Or am I begeistert? Or am I aufgeregt? Or am I begeistert?
Hey everyone, I'm Dana and you're watching Wanted Adventure Living Abroad and I am so excited.
But how do I say that in German?
This is actually something that I started wondering about way back at the beginning
when I first started learning German.
In German the English word "excited" is often translated to either "begeistert" or "aufgeregt,"
and at first I pretty much used these two words interchangeably, but then I started
to figure out they're not really the same thing.
There is definitely a difference between aufgeregt and begeistert.
But what is it and how would you say those two words in English if not by simply using
the word excited for both of them?
The difference is in the nuance of the words.
Both aufgeregt and begeistert do mean excited, but aufgeregt also has with it a bit of nervousness
in that excitement, while begeistert is more positively excited. Excited-excited.
So for example when Stefan traveled with me for his first time to the USA, this was his
first time going on a really, really big trip, his first transatlantic journey.
He was definitely excited for the trip, but in the weeks leading up to the trip he was
also feeling kind of nervous. So it was this, like, nervous excitement.
In German he was aufgeregt.
Whereas for me, it was my first trip back to the U.S. since I had moved to Europe.
I was really looking forward to spending time with my friends and my family.
And eating my favorite foods. I was excited-excited.
There was no nervousness in the excitement there for me.
It was just pure positively excited.
So in German I was begeistert.
I was begeistert and Stefan was aufgeregt.
Okay, so when I say now that I'm excited, which one am I feeling? Begeistert or aufgeregt?
And my answer is a little bit of both and it changes sometimes from day to day, sometimes from
one hour to the next.
But if begeistert and aufgeregt were on a scale, I'd say I'm leaning a little more
in the begeistert direction. But still also feeling a little aufgeregt.
And what has me so excited?
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay...
Okay. I'm super excited because today I can finally share with you something that I've been
working on for a while now.
And that something is this book!
It should go on this side, yeah? Or this side? I'm not sure.
It'll...the book is on some side. I'm not sure which side. But I'm really excited about it.
Wow, German speakers, your language is so amazing and interesting and funny and frustrating
that I had to write a whole book about it.
"You go me on the cookie!": Learning Deutsch – mein abenteuerlicher Weg
is about my experiences with the German language,
you know, my journey with the German language. Learning German.
Just a short bit from the back cover of the book.
Im Land der drei Artikel.
"Wer heißt who und wo heißt where?"
Ich malte mir aus, wie viele etliche Male ich wegen dieser lächerlichen Vokabeln
ins Fettnäpfchen treten würde.
"Entschuldigen Sie bitte", würde ich ganz bestimmt den Kellner im Restaurant fragen,
"wer ist die Toilette?"
Und "Wo ist da?"
würde ich in die Gegensprechanlage brüllen, wenn jemand unten an der Tür läutete.
My husband Stefan, who is definitely not biased at all (he's definitely biased!) has read
the book and calls it quote: "a Meisterstück."
My German friends who haven't actually read the book yet at all
say that chapter three is just hilarious.
And my mom and dad who can't speak German so they can't read the book at all because
the book is in German call it "a must-read for all German speakers because we're jealous
that they can read it and we can't." End quote.
If you speak German or are learning to speak German and want to make up your own opinion
about the book, it's coming out on December 17 and you can already pre-order it now.
I'll put links and more information for ordering the book down in the description below.
I have learned so many things through this book writing and publishing process,
one of which is that publishing houses order the printed version of the book in batches
from the printer. "You go me on the cookie!" will be available as e-book and paperback, and my editor told
me that the first batch of printed books is going to be 3000 of them.
So they're going to first print out 3000 "You go me on the cookie!" books, and upon
finding that out I was like, well then it's my goal now to sell 3000 books in the first week.
Yes, I said that.
I set that as my goal, to sell out the very first print batch in the very first week.
Too ambitious of a goal? I hope not! I don't know. Oh my God, that would be so amazing.
So freaking amazing to sell 3000 books in the first week.
That would be amazing.
And it would definitely tip my begeistert-aufgeregt scale in the very, very, very begeistert direction. Yeah.
So if you want to support me in reaching this goal or if you watch this video later after
the first week and you just want to buy a book also great, you will find links down
in the description box below.
From the beginning, from day one, starting the Wanted Adventure Living Abroad series
over four years ago it has always been my goal to find a publisher to publish my next book.
And I am so excited about this book. I cannot wait for people to read it.
If you want to support me even more, tell your local bookstores about the book.
Donate a book to a library, tell a friend about it.
Thank you so much for your support of the Wanted Adventure YouTube channel and for your
support getting the word out about this book.
And more than anything I really hope you enjoy reading it.
Oh! And what was in the envelope in the video on Thursday?
I have been waiting for this to come in the mail.
Inside this envelope - I think, I haven't opened it yet - but I think in here is a proof
of my book. And...yeah. So that's a printed out version of my book.
This is the, this is the proof. It's bound with...this is it. This is my book. This is my book. This is the book.
This is it. This is the book.
I mean, it doesn't look as, you know, the same as it will with a cover and, you know,
a back and everything like that but... I mean, this is it!
This is the book.
So my question for you is: is there anything that you're begeistert or aufgeregt about right now?
Please let me know in the comments below. Thanks so much for watching.
Until next time, until tomorrow, auf Wiedersehen!
Want to watch another video? Here are two.
And a really, really, really big thank you so much to our patrons on Patreon who help
make these videos possible. Thank you so much for your support.
Bis morgen!

Spencer Ware Fantasy: Should You Start or Sit Chiefs RB? | Heavy.com - Duration: 5:16.
Spencer Ware Fantasy: Should You Start or Sit Chiefs RB? | Heavy.com
The Kansas City Chiefs running back situation took a big turn due to the latest news involving Kareem Hunt.
The team's current starter finds himself facing potential discipline due to a recent video that's come to light.
It was first released by TMZ Sports and shows Hunt arguing with a woman at a Cleveland hotel in February of 2018.
Hunt is seen pushing the woman and also goes on to kick her while she's on the ground.
Following the video being released, ESPN's Dan Graziano revealed the Chiefs have opted to send Hunt home from team facilities.
He also cites that there's a chance the running back could wind up on the commissioner's exempt list.
I am told the Chiefs sent Kareem Hunt home from the facility today upon learning of the release of the video and pending further action.
Most likely short-term resolution is that Hunt would be placed on the commissioner's exempt list pending a final decision, but we will see.
— Dan Graziano (@DanGrazianoESPN) November 30, 2018 .
The news could point to Hunt missing Week 13 and possibly beyond that.
In turn, this almost certainly means the Chiefs will turn to Spencer Ware as their starter.
Ware has had his fair share of success in the NFL, although he's seen limited action to this point, specifically throughout the 2018 season.
We're going to take a look at the Week 13 fantasy football outlook for the Chiefs rusher and decide whether he's a start or sit against the Oakland Raiders.
Should You Start or Sit Spencer Ware?.
Assuming Hunt is indeed not active for the upcoming game against the Raiders, Ware becomes a very intriguing fantasy option.
He's tallied just 22 carries for 124 yards and one touchdown with 14 receptions for 165 yards on the season but has flashed upside even before this year.
Ware is a strong dual-threat option, which was on display back in 2016.
That season, he received an expanded workload, rushing 214 times for 921 yards and three scores over 14 games.
He also added 33 receptions for 447 yards and two more touchdowns, pointing to the 27-year-old back potentially having major upside with an expanded role alongside Patrick Mahomes.
It's fully expected that he'll be the team's starter if Hunt isn't in the mix, barring something unforeseen coming to light.
And with a matchup against a poor Raiders defense, he's also in a great spot to post a big stat line in Week 13.
On the season, Oakland has allowed 1,481 rushing yards to opposing backs (most in the NFL) along with eight touchdowns.
They've also given up 401 receiving yards and three scores through the air to the position.
Ware is in a great spot and is more than capable of producing at a high level.
He's worth starting in all leagues where you have Hunt (of course) but also any 12-team league or larger.
I'd consider him as a RB2 or flex option in 10-team leagues as well if you have a need at either spot.

How to Insert Image or Video in a Laulima Forum for Students - Duration: 5:12.
Aloha, everyone! Today let's talk about how you can enhance your forum
discussion by inserting an image or even a video. So here's my week 3 assignment
Forum 3.0 and if I open it and look at the full description I understand that
my teacher is asking me to discuss how I can enhance my online communication.
So I'm going to start by starting a new conversation and adding a title and
message right here, but before I start I want to make sure that I have an image
that I can in embed into this post. So I first have to upload the image that I
want to use but I can't do it to this resources folder since I'm not a teacher
and I'm not allowed to upload anything to this Resources folder. So I go
to Home site and find Resources which is the only place that I can upload any
file. Then in my Workspace I'm going to upload files. Find the photo that I'm
looking for which is this one. I can drag and drop into that gray box area and I
will Continue. OK so here's a picture that I'm looking for.
There is an important step I must apply to this image which is to go to
Edit Details and make sure that this file or this image is publicly viewable.
This allows anyone else to see the image when I use it in my Forum discussion. So
I update and you'll notice that this one says "Public" whereas this image right
here it says "Entire site" and that is the default mode. OK, now I'm ready to add
the image to my Forum discussion. Let's go back to where I left off and
I'm going to say "Use Pictures!" as my title. "I would add
pictures. For example," and now on the next line I'm going to insert image and
browse server and I'm going to bring this in so you can see where I'm going
with it." And this is by default pointing to the Resources folder of this class
and you notice all the lock icons because as a student I can't add any
more images or any files. So I go to my Workspace and when I open the Resources
folder I see this "talking gif" so I select it and then find the OK button at
bottom right. Just say OK and here's the image however it is a little large
and so I'm going to grab the bottom right corner and size it down a little
bit. Then I can continue adding whatever text I wanted to add to this.
Number 2, I would also add videos, so I type that in and "for example." How do I get the videos?
I found a video on YouTube that I want to embed, so I go to Share then this
Embed is what I'm really looking for and you don't have to understand this embed
iframe code but just click on Copy to copy the code, then go back to my Laulima.
At this point if I were to just paste it in here it really isn't going
to do anything except to just show the code. So instead of doing that,
let's back up a little, go into the Source view and at this point you can
delete that part because that's a paragraph with nothing inside. Or you can
just bring your cursor down to the bottom
and add that iframe code from YouTube. And if you switch back to the regular
view of the editor you'll notice that there's a big box with just the iframe
in it. It doesn't look like anything is happening but once you Post you are
going to see something very interesting.
Here's the image, here is the video and this video will play right there on the
page and any of your classmates will see it. Your teacher will see it and they
will be able to give you a reply to your post.
Alright, I hope that helps!

May DISMISSES calls for Boris Johnson or Nicola Sturgeon to join TV Brexit debate - Duration: 11:58.
Theresa May has secured her deal in Brussels but her fight to get it actually in place in time for Brexit day is just beginning
The 'meaningful vote' promised to MPs will happen on December 11 and is the single biggest hurdle to the Brexit deal happening - and Mrs May' fate as PM
Mrs May needs at least 318 votes in the Commons if all 650 MPs turns up - but can probably only be confident of around 230 votes
The number is less than half because the four Speakers, 7 Sinn Fein MPs and four tellers will not take part
The situation looks grim for Mrs May and her whips: now the deal has been published, 100 of her own MPs and the 10 DUP MPs have publicly stated they will join the Opposition parties in voting No
This means the PM could have as few as 225 votes in her corner - leaving 410 votes on the other side, a landslide majority 185
This is how the House of Commons might break down: Mrs May needs at least 318 votes in the Commons if all 650 MPs turns up - but can probably only be confident of around 230 votes
The Government (plus various hangers-on) Who are they: All members of the Government are the so-called 'payroll' vote and are obliged to follow the whips orders or resign
It includes the Cabinet, all junior ministers, the whips and unpaid parliamentary aides
There are also a dozen Tory party 'vice-chairs and 17 MPs appointed by the PM to be 'trade envoys'
How many of them are there? 178.What do they want? For the Prime Minister to survive, get her deal and reach exit day with the minimum of fuss
Many junior ministers want promotion while many of the Cabinet want to be in a position to take the top job when Mrs May goes
How will they vote? With the Prime Minister.Who are they: The most hard line of the Brexiteers, they launched a coup against Mrs May after seeing the divorce
Led by Jacob Rees-Mogg and Steve Baker.How many of them are there: 26 What do they want: The removal of Mrs May and a 'proper Brexit'
Probably no deal now, with hopes for a Canada-style deal later.How will they vote: Against the Prime Minister
Other Brexiteers in the ERG Who are they: There is a large block of Brexiteer Tory MPs who hate the deal but have so far stopped short of moving to remove Mrs May - believing that can destroy the deal instead
They include ex Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith and ex minister Owen Paterson.Ex ministers like Boris Johnson and David Davis are also in this group - they probably want to replace Mrs May but have not publicly moved against her
How many of them are there? Around 50.What do they want? The ERG has said Mrs May should abandon her plans for a unique trade deal and instead negotiate a 'Canada plus plus plus' deal
This is based on a trade deal signed between the EU and Canada in August 2014 that eliminated 98 per cent of tariffs and taxes charged on goods shipped across the Atlantic
The EU has long said it would be happy to do a deal based on Canada - but warn it would only work for Great Britain and not Northern Ireland
How will they vote: Against the Prime Minister.Who are they: Tory MPs who believe the deal is just not good enough for Britain
They include the group of unrepentant Remainers who want a new referendum like Anna Soubry and ex-ministers who quit over the deal including Jo Johnson and Phillip Lee
How many of them are there: Maybe around 10.What do they want? To stop Brexit.Some want a new referendum, some think Parliament should step up and say no
A new referendum would take about six months from start to finish and they group wants Remain as an option on the ballot paper, probably with Mrs May's deal as the alternative
How will they vote? Against the Prime Minister.Moderates in the Brexit Delivery Group (BDG) and other Loyalists Who are they? A newer group, the BDG counts members from across the Brexit divide inside the Tory Party
It includes former minister Nick Boles and MPs including Remainer Simon Hart and Brexiteer Andrew Percy
There are also lots of unaligned Tory MPs who are desperate to talk about anything else
How many of them are there? Based on public declarations, about 48 MPs have either said nothing or backed the deal
What do they want? The BDG prioritises delivering on Brexit and getting to exit day on March 29, 2019, without destroying the Tory Party or the Government
If the PM gets a deal the group will probably vote for it.It is less interested in the exact form of the deal but many in it have said Mrs May's Chequers plan will not work
Mr Boles has set out a proposal for Britain to stay in the European Economic Area (EEA) until a free trade deal be negotiated - effectively to leave the EU but stay in close orbit as a member of the single market
How will they vote? With the Prime Minister.Who are they? The Northern Ireland Party signed up to a 'confidence and supply' agreement with the Conservative Party to prop up the Government
They are Unionist and say Brexit is good but must not carve Northern Ireland out of the Union
How many of them are there? 10.What do they want? A Brexit deal that protects Northern Ireland inside the UK
How will they vote? Against the Prime Minister on the grounds they believe the deal breaches the red line of a border in the Irish Sea
Who are they? Labour MPs who are loyal to Jeremy Corbyn and willing to follow his whipping orders
How many of them are there? Up to 250 MPs depending on exactly what Mr Corbyn orders them to do
What do they want? Labour policy is to demand a general election and if the Government refuses, 'all options are on the table', including a second referendum
Labour insists it wants a 'jobs first Brexit' that includes a permanent customs union with the EU
It says it is ready to restart negotiations with the EU with a short extension to the Article 50 process
The party says Mrs May's deal fails its six tests for being acceptable.How will they vote? Against the Prime Minister's current deal
Who are they? A mix of MPs totally opposed to Mr Corbyn's leadership, some Labour Leave supporters who want a deal and some MPs who think any deal will do at this point
How many of them are there? Maybe 10 to 20 MPs but this group is diminishing fast - at least for the first vote on the deal
What do they want? An orderly Brexit and to spite Mr Corbyn.How will they vote? With the Prime Minister
Who are they? The SNP, Liberal Democrats, Plaid Cymru, Green Caroline Lucas and assorted independents
How many of them are there? About 60 MPs.How will they vote? Mostly against the Prime Minister - though two of the independents are suspended Tories and two are Brexiteer former Labour MPs
