Paws Up!Our Salute to the Awesome!From Solid Cat: Vegan Cheetah Gordon Ramsey MasterChef is a show full of inspiring contestants, but none more than Gabriel Lewis, the 19-year-old fast-food worker from Oklahoma. Lewis grew up idolizing Ramsay and says he's never missed a season of Masterchef. He had entered the competition for the prize money to help with his parents' medical bills. Through the season, he was considered a front-runner to win the whole thing. However, Gabriel fell flat during an elimination challenge, which saw him go home, in a decision that obviously affected the judges. But despite this, Gordon Ramsay decided Gabriel deserved more. Read about it and see the clip at Shared.com here. To Gordon Ramsey, for really being a stand-up guy, we salute you. PAWS UP! From Solid Cat: Pat's vs. Geno's Niran Jeyanesan A constable with the Toronto police responded to a call of a theft at an area Walmart. The young man was stealing some clothes to go on a job interview, so he can turn his life around. Instead of arresting him, Niran Jeyanesan purchased the clothes for the man. A week later, the young man called the constable to advise that he had got the job. Read about it at GoodNewsNetwork.org here. To Niran Jeyanesan, for applying a little humanity to the world, we salute you. PAWS UP!

No external link. Just enjoy us gush on the show. To Wonder Woman, for proving naysayers wrong for decades, we salute you. PAWS UP! From Solid Cat: Spring Break Estonia A group of Estonian students discovered that children are involved in more than a thousand accidents a year at school, in the home, in playgrounds, or on the roads, and are often left "injured, in a state of shock, or just in need of comfort." So they set up the "Trauma Teddy" charity, which aims to put two teddies in each Estonian police car and border patrol vehicle, and the police and border guards have readily agreed to the plan. Read about it at BBCnews.com here. To Estonia, for thinking about the children, we salute you. PAWS UP! From Solid Cat: Creepy AF MIT Media Lab People are amazed by slow-mo videos capturing ultra-fast movement at around 70,000 frames per second, but what if I told you a new imaging system can capture images at 1,000,000,000,000 fps (as in one trillion)? Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab have developed an imaging system that captures images at such a high temporal resolution that the movement of light can be visualized. Yes, that's right, you can actually see photons travel through space! See the video at Diply here. To MIT Media, for reminding us that science freakin' rules, we salute you. PAWS UP! From Solid Cat: Dawn of Justice Tinder What are the odds that you'll be stationed in Antarctica, try Tinder to pass the time, and actually find something? You swipe right, they swipe right. It's a match made in a cold, cold, desolate place. But they might start a new fire because of Tinder (see what I did there?). Read more about it at New York Magazine here. To Tinder, for hooking people up, even at the South Pole, we salute you. PAWS UP! From Solid Cat: InuYasha Spoilers Samir Lakhani When American student, Samir Lakhani, was in Cambodia and saw a local woman washing her child with detergent, he was horrified. But then he thought of a place he could get large quantities of leftover soap free of charge. Two years later, due to his soap-recycling efforts, he's already supplying villagers with a safe way to keep clean, and also with jobs. Read more about it at BBC News here. To Samir Lakhani, for seeing a problem, and finding a solution, we salute you. PAWS UP!
