Hi, I was just wondering whether any of you have heard of any e-commerce websites that sell fair-trade products (besides coffee/ tea) that have been produced in African countries ? I could only find individual organizations with such websites, and most of them were not really fair trade certified. If you know of any such place, please let me know. I am looking into the idea of getting a mock marketplace just to gauge the interest in this niche, and if any of you could provide any criticisms of the the idea[1], that would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

[1] Idea: To have a consolidated space dedicated to connecting fair-trade certified products made in African countries and consumers in first world countries (primarily usa).

Also, by Africa in title == African Countries.

How do you manage to stay fit ? I am moderately fit, but more often than not, I lose motivation to go run everyday or workout / eat healthy food, and so it turns into a two step forward, one backward story.

This post [How to Push Past the Pain, as the Champions Do / http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1806944] a couple of weeks ago, re-inspired me to pick up and add some more discipline to my daily habits by changing my thought process a little, and on a similar note, I would love to hear about how do you manage to stay fit, and what thought process, and routine(if any) helps you get there ?

Thanks.
