Black Saturday & the Mau movement

On 28 December 1929, at least 8 Samoans and one police officer were killed during what has become known as ¨Black Saturday¨. The exact details of the clash between New Zealand administration in Samoa and the mau movement a pacifist resistance movement advocating independence from New Zealand are contested. 

What happened on Black Saturday?:

The worst incident in New Zealand's relationship with Samoa occurred on Saturday 28 December 1929. It was triggered by a fracas that erupted during a Mau parade along Apia's waterfront to welcome home two members who had been exiled in New Zealand. 

The Mau Movement:

The mau movement culminated on 28 December 1929 in the street of the capital of Apia, when the New Zealand police fired on a procession who were attempting to prevent the arrest of one of their members. The day became known as ¨Black Saturday¨. One New Zealand constable was clubbed to death by protesters.

Began in 191908 with the Mau a pele, a movement led by the orator chief  Lauaki Namulau´ulu. The matai were dissatisfied with the German governor´s attempts to change the fa´a Samoa and centralise all authority in his hands.

Science, Electricity and the nature of matter

What is electricity?:
Electricity is the vision and pass of electric charge. Electricity is the things that make power exist. It is a form of energy which we use to power machines. When electrical charges are not moving, they are called ¨Static Electricity.¨


Secondly, Electricity is also a property of matter that results from the presence or movement of electric charge. Electricity is also responsible for many well known physical facts, such as, lighting, electric fields and electric currents, and is put to use in industrial use, such as electronics and electric power.


The nature of matter:
All matters are made up with Atoms, that consist of three types of smaller particles. Negatively charged electrons, but positively charged protized and neutral neutrons. Normally, the electrons and protised and an Atom balances out. Which is why most matter you come to prost is electrically neutral, but electrons are tiny and and almost insignificant in mass. And rubbing and friction can give lusley bad electrons, enough energy to leave their Atoms and attach to others.

	Static electricity	Current electricity
What is it caused by?	Static electricity is the result of an imbalance between negative and positive charges in an object.	An electric current is said to exist when there is a net flow of electric charge through a region.
Do the negative charges move?	When two materials are in contact, electrons may move from one material to the other, which leaves an excess of positive charge on one material and an equal negative charge on the other.	The electrons that carry the negative charges are free to move. The current in an electric circuit is caused by the movement of the charges through the conductors of the circuit.
