Cruelty of life under Ayatollah’s regime, hope for the future, reflected in Iranian artist’s work

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

The same night Roya Feyz was awarded a top prize in a major competition for an artwork reflecting the horrors of life in her native Iran, US bombs began falling on the country.

It’s a coincidence that is not lost on Feyz, who was in Hamilton to accept the Merit in Painting award on Saturday night at the New Zealand Painting and Printmaking Awards.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
