It is a scam, a play on emotions to acquire control and wealth. The kids like protesting because they've
been convinced to have no sense of self-worth and collecting together for a 'feelz-good' cause brings
a feeling of comradeship, a primeval need in all communal animals.
They're being taken for a ride and why can I say this?
Take a look at this.
Minerals in your mobile phone
The raw materials used in the manufacture of mobile phones come from a variety of minerals.
These and the parts of a mobile phone they are used to make are listed below.
Screen.
The mobile phone screen is made up of indium and tin, which are mainly found in China.
The liquid crystal display (LCD) screen is made of aluminosilicate glass, a mixture of aluminium and silicon.
China is the world’s biggest producer of tin and is also a major importer of the metal used primarily in solder
for electronics. In 2014, China exported 3,000 tonnes with the average tin prize being $23,150 a tonne.
Industry experts note that at the end of 2015, the prizes will climb to $27,000, which will see China rake in
$81 million.
Battery
Lithium, colt and manganese are used to make phone batteries.
The majority of today’s phones use lithium ion batteries. In 2013, global lithium consumption doubled driven largely
by its use in lithium-ion batteries for cell phones and power tools.
The world’s supply of lithium comes from Australia, Chile, China, Tibet and Argentina.
According to the US Geological Survey, Australia in 2014 produced 13,000 tonnes of lithium followed by Chile at 12,900.
In Africa, it’s only Zimbabwe which managed to produce 1,000 tonnes at the privately owned Bikita Minerals raking in
$7 million.
Electrical units
A wide range of elements and compounds are used in the electronics of a phone.
The processor of the phone is made from pure silicon, which is bombarded with elements such as phosphorus, antimony,
arsenic, boron, indium or gallium.
The micro-electrical components and wiring in the phone are composed mainly of copper, gold, and silver.
Congo and Zambia are some of the main exporting countries. In 2013, Congo’s copper output rose to 900,000 tonnes.
The electrical unit also consists of micro-capacitors which use tantalum, platinum and palladium. tantalum and niobium are
extracted from Coltan ores. DRC is the world’s largest producer of Coltan. Rwanda and Uganda also contribute significantly
to Coltan exports in the world. In 2013, Rwanda was the world’s single largest exporter of coltan, exporting 2.4 million tonnes.
This earned it $134.5 million.
Palladium and platinum are other minerals used in the electrical circuits of phones. South Africa and Zimbabwe are some of
the countries that export these minerals. The platinum price in 2014 averaged $1840 per ounce last year with Europe and
China being the main markets for this mineral.
Amplifier, vibrators, receiver
The microphone and speaker of the phone both contain magnets, which are usually made from arsenic and gallium.
South Africa is one of the world’s largest exporters of arsenic minerals.
Gallium is a by-product of mining and processing of aluminium, zinc and copper.
China produces 80 per cent of the world’s used gallium with Japan being the biggest consumer mainly because of its production
of electronics. Gallium has mainly been used in amplifiers for mobile phones integrated circuits and also in LEDs for backlighting
of computers, phones and televisions.
Tungsten also finds use as weights for the vibrating motors within the phone.
China, Russia, Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda are some of the countries that produce these rare mineral.
East Africa produced a combined 710 tonnes of this mineral in 2014.
Minerals such as neodymium are used in magnets, which make speakers vibrate.
China produces more than 90 per cent of the world’s supply of rare-earth minerals and neodymium is one of them.
Casing
Most phone casings are either made of metals or plastic with the latter mainly relying on carbon-based units to make the plastic
covers. Magnesium compounds are one of the minerals in the phone case. Magnesium is mined in China, Brazil, India and the
United States, with China dominating its consumption.

Quote:Jennifer Lopez stuns on Milan Fashion Week runway in new version of iconic Versace dress.USA Today:
'Jennifer Lopez is breaking the internet in a green, jungle-print Versace gown, again.
Nearly 20 years after she wore THAT gown to the 2000 Grammy Awards – solidifying her status as a fashion icon
and the subsequent creation of Google Images – Lopez hit the runway at Milan Fashion Week Friday in a similar
version of the first viral dress ever.
"So this just happened," Lopez captioned a video of her fierce catwalk at Versace's 2020 Spring collection.
She added the hashtags #stillgoingstrong and #20yearanniversary.
The "Hustler" star, 50, closed out the Versace show to much applause in a version of the infamous dress that managed
to show more skin than the daring original. It featured short sleeves and cut outs on the sides to showcase Lopez's
toned abs.
After ripping the runway solo, Lopez joined Donatella Versace for another lap around the star-studded catwalk.
"It’s been fabulous to walk with you tonight," Verace wrote on Instagram.
Lopez called her iconic green Versace gown her "biggest fashion moment ever," revealing on her YouTube channel in
April that the look was pulled together at the last minute and almost didn't happen.
"Usually if you come to a fitting of mine there’s, like, tons of dresses," she said in the video.
"But this day, the day of the Grammys, we really had a choice between two dresses. One was kind of like a white dress
and the other was the Versace jungle-print dress."
She went with the green gown, against her stylist's advice, and made fashion history...'
Just look at those phones... the rich are laughing at you.
