China sets 2015 growth target at 'around 7%'
China has set its gross domestic product (GDP) growth target at "around 7 percent" for 2015 - the lowest in 11 years - focusing on quality over quantity as it overhauls its growth model. The target, which Premier Li Keqiang announced as the annual National People's Congress got under way on Thursday, is in line with market expectations and marks a sharp decline from last year's 7.5 percent target. China's economy grew at its slowest pace in 24 years in 2014, undershooting the government's target for the first time since 1998.

Hamburg residents take revenge on late-night revelers with urine-repellent paint
Residents of Hamburg's St. Pauli's nightclub district are getting their own back on late-night revelers who urinate on public buildings, with a new high-tech paint that sends the spray bouncing right back at them. A local interest group has applied the special water-repellent paint, also used in shipbuilding, on two especially frequented buildings in the renowned nightclub district near the port to deter "Wildpinkler", as Germans call them. "This paint job sends a direct message back to perpetrators that their wild urinating on this wall is not welcome," Julia Staron, who organized the group, told Reuters.

Coffee pods 'harming' our planet
As the International Coffee Awards kicked off today in Melbourne, John Sylvan, the co-founder of US espresso pod brand, K-Cups, criticised his own invention. Millions of people use the do-it-yourself pods everyday, but Mr Sylvan, an entrepreneur turned environmentalist, revealed he does not use the product because he thinks they are expensive and bad for the environment. Mr Sylvan created the coffee-in-a-pod system in the ‘90’s and then sold his stake in the company for $50,000 to American coffee giant Keurig, which has made a multi-billion dollar windfall from sales worldwide.
