Putting oil in locks will make them get stuck in the future. The oil will degrade and absorb all kind of impurities that can cause the lock to malfunction even worse than before.
It is thus only a short time solution and should not be used if you intend to use the lock much longer.
The right lubricant to use is graphite powder. One puff in the lock is usually enough.
You will recognise a professional locksmith by the use of this. Oil = not professional, Graphite = professional.
WD40 is not a long term lubricant but can get locks that are stuck because of old oil moving again.

37% of Kunming university students consider plastic surgery
Posted bySomebody seems to be reading this blog because the horrible androids have been replaced in my elevator with a more human looking model in a for the rest same advertisement.
The website of mylike still has the androids on it. One even in a very irritating overlay but then in a mirror image.

In the elevator of my apartment block there is, since a few days, hanging an advertisement of Mylike aesthetic medicine which looks to be offering cosmetic surgery. On it the usual before and after pictures of two girls. As usual both are Photoshopped for maximal effect. Before a girl with a very strange shape of the face and a terrible skin condition and of course rather brown. After a scare synthetic construction with a milk white skin without a single blemish. The after shots are so Photoshopped that they become caricatures. Every time I am in the elevator I can't stop myself from looking at it because it is so hideous. Still I try to remember the name because even after the most terrible accident and with a completely burned face I still don't want to receive cosmetic surgery at this place.

You are mistaken there. It is not only foreigners that have the 500 kuai deposit, everybody who borrows none Chinese books has to pay this. If foreigners only wish to borrow Chinese books they pay the standard deposit.
The value of the books you borrow is not allowed to surpass your deposit. This means that I am regularly restricted in the amount of books I can borrow so I wish I could pay even a higher deposit but this is apparently not possible.
