The 2017 Ford GT supercar sets new standards for Ford innovation through performance with advances in light-weighting, aerodynamics and ultra-efficient EcoBoost engine. The new Ford GT features the most powerful EcoBoost production engine ever – a new twin-turbocharged Ford EcoBoost V6 producing more than 600 horsepower. The all-new GT features advanced lightweight composites, which will help serve Ford’s entire product lineup moving forward. With the broad application of structural carbon fiber elements, the GT will exhibit one of the best power-to-weight ratios of any production car. Anchored by a carbon fiber passenger cell, the GT features aluminum front and rear subframes encapsulated in structural carbon fiber body panels. Carbon fiber is one of the world’s strongest materials for its mass – enabling an ultra-stiff foundation for chassis components, while creating a lighter overall package for increased dynamic performance and efficiency.

In this photo taken Thursday, Nov. 12, 2015, Agnes Njoki, 17, takes a break with her daughter, Shantel Akinyi, 2, who accompanies her as she works scavenging for plastic at the garbage dump in the Dandora slum of Nairobi, Kenya. Men, women and children traipse through the murky sludge that weaves through mountains of garbage in Nairobi's notorious Dandora dump, hunting for anything that can be recycled to earn themselves enough for their daily bread - some of the poorest of Kenya's poor and those likely to be on Pope Francis' mind when he makes his first trip to Africa this week and brings his message of environmental stewardship and care for society's most marginal.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Congress should reverse its vote in June to wind down the National Security Agency's "metadata" phone program, which collects the numbers, times and durations of all Americans' phone calls. "We need to rebuild that program. We need to rebuild the morale of our intelligence," he said.
