Gold doesn't corrode as much as steel or copper and it can help with interference from radio waves. When something is coated with gold it is done to prevent corrosion and to prevent "crosstalk."
In order to minimize crosstalk and prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI).
STP - Shielded Twisted Pair is twisted to reduces crosstalk. Crosstalk is when the signal crosses wire and reduces the communication quality. Twisting the pairs reduces the signal transmission to other wires in the cable "pack". Twisting them increases the length the cable can be run. Category 5 has a usable length of 100m, 330ft.
The minimum tension of a single object must be greater than the stress applied to it in order to prevent it from breaking.
Hands should be washed for at least 20 seconds with soap and water to effectively remove germs and prevent transmitting infections.
The minimum temperature setting for a water heater is typically around 120 degrees Fahrenheit to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria like Legionella.

The Keystone XL pipeline is actually an excellent idea; it will bring Canadian oil to American refineries, instead of forcing the Canadians to lay a pipeline to Vancouver and send the oil to China. Because, you see, oil is valuable - and it is GOING to be sent SOMEWHERE. If we have the oil in America, we'll be able to ship natural gas to Europe, and prevent the Russians from using natural gas to blackmail Europe. It's quite simple; if you oppose the Keystone XL pipeline, then you're supporting the Russians and the Iranians.
