Avio Group with EnginSoft SPA
Modern aero-engine development is driven by a number of factors and requirements, but probably none greater than the requirement to increase overall efficiency. This is largely due to environmental concerns and the ever more stringent emission targets that result, as well as a desire to insulate operators from rises in fuel costs through reduced consumption.
product overview: Flowmaster is a 1D general purpose CFD solution for thermo fluid system engineers to model and analyze the fluid mechanics and pipe flow in complex systems.
The Problem
An effective cooling strategy is therefore critical in order that efficient operation is possible throughout the entire operating range. To put this in perspective, the diameter of an aerospace turbine is often greater than 1 meter, while the required clearance might be less than 0.5mm. This extreme design challenge can only be accurately and reliably met when the engineer is in a position to consider the entire system and its physics; fluid dynamics, thermal effects, and structural deformations must be considered together in a multi-physics approach that gives the designer access to the entire picture.
The Solution
The Multi-Physics Approach
The numerical multi-physics approach by Avio Group in Italy described here is an automatic procedure developed by Avio with the help of EnginSoft sPA. The approach is capable of managing the operation and data transfer of three different commercial software tools:
- MSC.P-thermal: Thermal solver used for the computation of the temperature distribution in the solid structure;
- MSC.Marc: Deformation analysis tool used for the computation of solid structure deformation;
- Flowmaster® from Mentor Graphics: System level fluid-dynamic solver used for the computation of the flow field through the gas turbine.
The multi-physics simulations carried out are driven by a specific FORTRAN library implemented into MSC.P-thermal. The FORTRAN library manages the co-simulation by invoking the fluiddynamic solver (Flowmaster) and the deformation analysis software (MSC. Marc) when required. In particular, the call to Flowmaster is managed by a coupling interface procedure implemented ad hoc in Visual Basic. The coupling interface manages the data transfer between the two codes and manages the fluid-dynamic simulation in all its parts by setting component and simulation data, running it and exporting the results.
System Level Simulations
To guarantee the required design accuracy, the entire system needs to be modeled, integrating rotor and static systems of the entire turbine. In particular, all secondary air systems, cooling circuits, active clearance control devices and the main flow path were considered in this system level analysis. The simulation of the entire engine mission had to consider idle, take off, cruise, approach and landing phases. A complete simulation lasts about one week and requires about 5000 Flowmaster simulations and about 3000 deformation analyses. All simulations and data transfer are automatically controlled and managed by the thermal solver through the automatic interface procedure as described above.
The Results
Avio's implemented numerical multiphysics approach has been validated and was able to achieve a better understanding of the thermal behavior of the turbine during the entire engine mission early in the design phase. This, in turn, allowed them to define the optimal geometries, materials and cooling mass flows for active clearance control. In the final analysis, the implemented multi-physics integrated approach described here, when used early in the design phase, allows the definition of the optimal clearances capable of achieving high efficiency and, as a consequence, a reduction in fuel consumption. A fundamental consideration with respect to meeting future aerospace emission limits.

Managing Active Directory from Linux with adtool
AD Helper
The simple but useful adtool lets you manage an Active Directory domain from the Linux command line.
One of my favorite Linux-related sayings is "there's more than one way to do it." I feel this way especially about managing Microsoft Active Directory implementations. I strongly believe that any systems administrator with responsibility over an Active Directory implementation should be able to use Microsoft's Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) snap-in, which is found in the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), when they need to. After all, Linux administrators shouldn't be afraid of using any tool that does the job.
However, why limit yourself to only Windows-specific tools? Mike Dawson's adtool application [1] is a particularly powerful and useful tool for managing Active Directory from Linux. adtool is stable and readily available, and it has enjoyed a solid development history. The adtool project has created a command-line based application, so it is easy to use for remote administration, and it is nice and "old school," so it appeals to folks like me, who like to use command-line interfaces to get in and out of trouble as quickly as possible.
Adtool has been around for years, and Linux distributions offer varying degrees of support for it. Other, more recent tools have taken some of the attention from adtool (see the box titled "Alternatives), but the Unix-like simplicity of adtool means that it is still the tool for choice for some users. Many Red Hat versions have adtool available with the default installations. A Debian package appeared through Debian 6 "squeeze" [2], although the Debian project removed adtool from testing in March 2012 [3], and no package is currently listed for the new Debian 7 "wheezy" release.

Cheap hotels near École Militaire in Paris, France
The École Militaire is a complex of buildings in the 7th arrondissement that houses a variety of French military training and education schools. Founded in 1750, The École Militaire has trained French military officers for centuries—in fact, a young man named Napoleon Bonaparte once roamed its halls, famously graduating in one year rather than the normal two.
Set at the southeastern end of the Champ de Mars, directly facing the Eiffel Tower, the École Militaire can boast of a stellar location. In addition to the tower, it is a short walk from here to the charming market street of rue Cler, the Hotel des Invalides and, just a bit further, the cafes of St-Germain. Hop on the Metro at the École Militaire stop (line 8), and you're a short ride away from most of the sights in the Right Bank.
Cheap hotels near the École Militaire: There are a number of affordable hotels right adjacent to the École Militaire, perhaps as a result of its desired location near the Eiffel Tower. The majority of these will be to the northeast, in the neighborhood around rue Cler.

A Year in Writing: The Best Mashable Reads of 2013
Where does one even begin to measure how much she's read in the past year? An Instapaper or Pocket queue? A stack of half-finished books for book club? A list of Twitter favs? Perhaps it doesn't need measurement. It's gratifying to read something so completely engrossing that time is no matter, even if it means riding the subway an extra stop or two (guilty).

blend control is located inside the box in the form of a pot that you access by removing the four back-plate screws. The unit ships with a 40 percent wet/60 percent dry setting, but if you love to tinker with tone, you'll probably find yourself tweaking the Blend pretty quickly. I found the stock setting offered a cool, well-rounded flavor for the Stratocaster and its single-coils. The Les Paul benefit-ted from a wetter signal, however.
In the end, the Blend knob isn't a hugeissue, especially given the other advantag-es of a very un-huge delay unit and thatthe alternative is a cluttered control set. Ifyour sets are built around songs that havewildly varied delay blends from tune totune, Violet won't be the best option, butViolet excels in both it's simplicity, easeof operation, and the colorful breadth ofdelay sounds you'll get.
Scarlett Overdrive
Scarlett is the sienna-tinged overdrive Sister. And while ostensibly the tamest of the three dirtboxes in the series, Scarlett has the capacity for a guttural bark when you need it.
With the Volume at 75 percent and a LesPaul driving the signal, Scarlett matched thevolume of the Fender Bassman's clean tone.And with the Gain setting at about 10 per-cent I got a sweet smooth break-up with niceharmonic glow. These lower settings are greatfor pushing amps over the edge into warmtube crunch for leads. Scarlett's output doesn'tsmother the original tone of the guitar, either,though there is a midrange emphasis that'scommon to many ODs. Rolling up the Gainto 50 percent gave riffs a truculent swaggerand a smoky, whisky-soaked voice. Pushingher up to full Gain sounds like an all-out barfight complete with razor-blade trebles anda heavy low end. Even at this extreme set-ting you don't really have a distorted sound,though—more of a true-to-form Hammerof the Gods, big-amp tone. It seems Scarlettstopped listening to rock in 1979 and hassome very classic tendencies to show for it.

VANCOUVER – The British Columbia and federal governments should settle outstanding aboriginal land claims in the westernmost province to eliminate the uncertainty that prevents industry from investing, says a new report from the Fraser Institute.
The unsettled claims are a barrier to the mining industry, said the report released Thursday by the right-wing think tank based in Vancouver.
It recommends an expedited treaty process to resolve the hundreds of overlapping claims and a mechanism to resolve asserted rights and title for bands that are not participating in the existing treaty process.
"Mining companies often find themselves on the front lines of tensions between asserted aboriginal rights and title and the interpretation of such rights by the courts, as miners rely on having access to Crown land," said the report, which points out that B.C. is home to 200 of the 600 first nations in Canada.
The recommendation from the institute was a welcome shock for an official at the First Nations Summit, which represents groups involved in the B.C. treaty process.
"It's exactly what we've been saying to government," said Cheryl Casimer, a member of the summit executive. "If we don't deal with the land question in this province, it's going to make it very difficult for any kind of development or any kind of economic envelope to move ahead."
Casimer said there is some activity at the negotiating table, but the statistics are not good.
Her band, the Ktunaxa of southeastern B.C., have been in negotiations for more than 20 years and haven't reached even an agreement in principle. In total, there are only seven treaties in place in B.C.
"We don't believe that Canada and B.C. come to the table with the proper mandate required to actually see negotiations through to a final agreement," she said.
For example, she said federal negotiators will not discuss fisheries, a key issue for many bands.
In surveys conducted by the institute, mining company executives identified the uncertainty due to aboriginal land claims as the primary deterrent to investing in B.C.
Just one-third of the provincial land base is covered by treaties, and little more than half of aboriginal bands are engaged in a treaty process that has largely ground to a halt.
The treaty process in B.C. "is not working as well as expected," the report said, and the court system is being used to shape and define rights on a case-by-case basis in its stead.
"The result of so few treaties in British Columbia is uncertainty in land and resource ownership, use, and management that not only discourages investment but also limits the ability of First Nations to achieve self-reliance," the report said.
Casimer was hopeful a nudge from an unexpected source like the Fraser Institute might prompt some action at the treaty table.
"If government is starting to see that it's going to have a major impact on investment within the province, and create economic uncertainty, and other groups are starting to see this, it's not just the same message coming from the (B.C. Treaty) Commission or the summit," she said.
"If they start to hear the message loud and clear from others, maybe there might be a change."
The surveys found other factors that dissuaded mining investment in B.C., including uncertainty over protected areas, parks and archeological sites for conservation, and uncertainty over environmental regulations.
The fourth key barrier identified by mining companies was regulatory duplication and inconsistency between the federal and provincial governments.
Among the recommendations, the report suggested the province streamline the mine-permitting process and reconsider the ban in place on uranium and thorium mining.
It also recommended the gradual elimination of tax incentives in favour of a lower corporate income tax rate, and the re-examination of a harmonized sales tax with the federal government — a tax reversed by the Liberal government after its implementation forced former premier Gordon Campbell out of office.
The mining industry in B.C. had an estimated production value of $8.3 billion in 2012 and contributed more than $400 million in tax revenues to provincial coffers, the report said.

After the fourth week in Euroleague, it is now clear who are the strongest teams in this year's European tournament. In the Euroleague, where all games are important like in the NBA Playoffs, only three teams are currently left unbeaten, and next week at least one of those teams will a blemish on its record.
European basketball experts thought Group C is the most powerful group in the Euroleague. There were big names like CSKA Moscow, Caja Laboral Vitoria and Maccabi Tel Aviv.
The Lottomatica Roma, Brandon Jennings' former club, proved that not only 'superclubs' can win. In the last three weeks, the Italian team showed excellent form and started the season with three wins in a row. The other Group C leader, Maccabi Tel Aviv, on the other hand was strong enough to hand Lottomatica its first loss.
The Israeli powerhouse Maccabi club won a very important and tough game in overtime against Lottomatica, 92-90. Now Maccabi, Lottomatica and Caja Laboral all are tied with 3-1 records at the top of Group C.
The entire game was played in point-by-point style. At the end of the 4th quarter, Lottomatica had a three-point, but Maccabi's guard Andrew Wisniewski tied the score sending the game into overtime. Within the last five minutes, everything was the same – there was a tough fight, which ended with a Maccabi win. Italian team leader, Ibrahim Jaaber, failed to score in the last period, and Maccabi won the game only by 2 points.
"We made plenty of mistakes, we didn't use our opportunities, and we missed open shots," said Maccabi head coach Pini Gershon. It shows that the Jewish club wants to be on the top of the Euroleague.
That night ex-Bobcat Alan Anderson was unstoppable, finishing the game with 27 points, 4 boards and 4 assists. Another American team player, Chuck Eidson, added 14 points. Wisniewski – 13.
Roma was led by Jaaber's 20 and Kennedy Winston's 21 points. Andre Hutson scored 14 points and grabbed 7 rebounds.
Olympiakos Piraeus center Ioannis Bourousis won this week's MVP award just in 12 minutes. Yes, that's right — this Greek player, in only 12 minutes, was able to score 23 points and grab 1 rebound. By the way, the Olympiakos played against other B group leader the Efes Pilsen Istanbul. Nevertheless, it was enough to get a 32 index ranking and the award.
Second in this week's ranking is Taquan Dean from the Unicaja Malaga. The Spanish club won its fourth game in a row and Dean played a spectacular game with 30 points (7-12 three-pointers) and 4 rebounds (31 index ranking).
Ex-Cavalier Tarence Kinsey took third place. The American in a principled match with the Italian powerhouse Montepaschi Siena put-up 20 points and grabbed 5 rebounds (29 index ranking).
Next week the Euroleague will have a break, but on November 26, we will have a 'dessert' game – Regal Barcelona will fight for the first place in Group A against another unbeaten club, Montepaschi Siena. Who is better for now…the Italians or Spaniards?

Each year during Oscar season, a lot of movies and actors bubble up for consideration, but only a few are actually nominated. It's not that these "almost nominees" weren't worthy; it's just that something else was a little bit better. Many of these films are just now out on DVD and are worth noting since none of them played in the Beaumont area. Judge for yourself if any of these performances and/or films should have received nominations.
This feature seems an odd choice for director Joe Wright. His previous films have been lush period pieces such as "Atonement" and "Pride and Prejudice." This modern day thriller about a teenage assassin seems a stretch, but Wright brings a fresh perspective to the genre and proves he can step outside his comfort zone.
So what exactly is the source code? As one character relates, "it would take weeks to explain," and time is something in short supply in this movie. On a morning commuter train traveling into Chicago, Capt. Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) jolts up from a little snooze to find he doesn't know where he is. His seatmate, Christina (Michelle Monaghan), keeps calling him Sean and his reflection in the train's window reveals a different face.

On-demand applications are often talked about in terms of how software suppliers should be adapting the way their software is provisioned to customers. These days, however, the majority of on-demand applications are provided by user organisations to external users – consumers, users from customer or partner organisations, and their own employees working remotely. |
Future networks will cost about half of what traditional networks cost today. They will require a smaller capital investment to roll out, and will be cheaper to operate because they'll be easier to manage, provide unified access, and require less power and cooling. Today, most campus networks comprise around 80% wired ports serving individual users, and 20% WLAN ports supporting multiple users. However, there's a growing swell of users pushing organisations to create 'bring your own device' ready environments, and usher in the enterprise mobility era that will inevitably change the structure of networks. |

PPL Electric Utilities will begin hosting hearings next week on its proposed rate increase.
"It's a chance for the public to share thoughts and opinions," said Kurt Blumenau, company spokesman.
A hearing at 6 p.m. Thursday, June 21 at the Commonwealth Keystone Building in Harrisburg is the closest one to York, where PPL serves about 8,000 customers.
At issue is a potential rate increase that will grow bills by 6 percent, causing the customer to pay an average of an extra $7 a month, he said.
PPL plans to use the increase to offset costs from making investments in its delivery system, Blumenau said.
"We have equipment that's reaching the end of its useful life," he said.
The utility company has been rebuilding electrical lines and replacing substations and transformers -- most of which were built in the 1950s and 1960s, he said.
PPL is also trying to recoup the $24 million it spent to repair damage caused
by storms, Blumenau said.
"The major driver of the increase is to keep our systems strong," he said.
Last month, the state's Office of Consumer Advocate began investigating whether PPL's financial status can justify a rate hike. PPL would gain an 11.25 percent profit -- or $104 million per year -- in operating revenue, which company officials claim is needed, according to a filing with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission.
In addition to the Harrisburg hearing, customers can also be heard in Scranton and Wilkes-Barre on Monday and Bethlehem and Allentown on Wednesday.
Consumers who are unable to attend the hearings can also share their opinions by writing to Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, P.O. Box 3265, Harrisburg, PA 17105-3265.

Does anyone know how the "Make 3D Clip" function determines the frame offset value? Timecode, I assume? I'm finding it not to be 100% accurate with my Scarlet clips. I'm using a modified (3D) Deneke SB-T for genlock & timecode. The good news is that actual sync is PERFECT, but, there is often a one or two frame offset. About 30% of my clips seem to have an automatically assigned offset value in the Make 3D Clip dialog box - but - 50% of those are wrong.
Thanks for any ideas. Really do not want to have to go back to using a manual sync marker.

An easy to use windows app to help shutterbugs and geospatial professionals map and view their photos through a single shareable file.
Hi! My name is Peter Stratton. I'm a professional geospatial analyst and independent software developer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Over the past 5 years I've developed dozens of small software applications for a variety of personal and professional projects. The GeoPhoto Tracker project started as a tiny utility script to help me plot out the locations of where my iPhone's geo-tagged photos were being shot. While I have never publicly released any of my software before, this one is just too cool to keep secret. But, I need your help.
I'm trying to raise just over $3600 to help cover the final development costs of GeoPhoto Tracker. I have a working proof of concept that I've been using for about a year, but it's going to take a few more months of development time to create a polished release version, set up a distribution system, and create the instructional videos and help documents. To help do this, I'm turning to Kickstarter. In exchange for your backing and depending on your contribution level, you'll receive my thanks and public recognition, access to the beta-testing forums and pre-release versions of the software, discounted licenses for the final release, and at the higher levels, credit to you or your organization within the software itself. Your contribution will help me release GeoPhoto Tracker to the world and support its ongoing development. Thanks!
What's the software do?
GeoPhoto Tracker is an easy to use desktop application that helps users view and export the geographic location information about where their geo-tagged digital photos were taken. Photos can be exported into a variety of geospatial file formats including .kmz (Google Earth) and XY event tables (ArcGIS, IMAGINE), as well as .tab files which can be opened by most spreadsheet applications.
How does it work?
The program uses GPS metadata information embedded in special types of digital photos. An increasing number of affordable digital cameras and most smartphones that record GPS information (including iPhones, Blackberry Devices, and Androids) can take these types of photos. Just shoot the picture, load it on your computer, then point GeoPhoto Tracker at the JPEG image or folder full of JPEGs and export to your application of choice with a single click.
Who is this intended for?
GeoPhoto Tracker was designed to be easily operated yet fully featured and powerful enough for professional use. It's for world travelers, field scientists, backcountry adventurers, GIS technicians, family vacationers, architectural historians, location scouts, or anyone who wants to work with geospatial photo sets.
What are the system requirements?
- Windows 7, Vista, XP or Mac OSX running a Bootcamp Windows install
- Microsoft .NET 4 Client Framework installed (already on most computers, free to download if not)
- Memory requirements vary by image size, under normal circumstances though, if you can run a browser like Chrome or Firefox, you should be able to run GeoPhoto Tracker without any problems.
How far along is the project?
A basic prototype version of the program has been produced and is working nicely. Most of the export settings are non-customizable though. For the release version I'll be adding control over which metadata fields to include in the exports, placemark icon styling, image resizing values, etc.
What will the Kickstarter funds be used for?
- $2000 - Software development, testing, optimization
- $482 - Bug tracking and update distribution system
- $860 - Instructions, documentation, and help system creation
- $267 - Kickstarter and Amazon commission fees
How does Kickstarter work?
Kickstarter uses an all or nothing funding model. Potential backers are not charged unless the project meets its financial goal. You can read all about it here.
How else can I help?
Even if you can't contribute, it's still possible to help get this off the ground by:
- liking this project on Facebook
- tweeting about GeoPhoto Tracker
- embedding links to the kickstarter project page on your blog or website
- mentioning it to people you know

Karl Lagerfeld isn't lacking in the awards department. This week the designer was in New York to receive a Gordon Parks Foundation Award for his creativity but despite his big win, people were more interested in asking him about his highly anticipated collaboration with Carine Roitfeld on Chanel's Fall 2011 campaign, which was leaked this week.
"It's about one woman who is transformed," he told The Cut. "Everybody talked about this campaign and wants to see it," he said. "Apparently there's already a few images on the net. They were stolen; because we had shown nothing." Despite having to pose in a small photo booth, Freja Beha Erichsen - who walked the red carpet with Lagerfeld at the event - explained that it was actually very easy. "He knows exactly what he wants," she explained, "and he has a whole vision in his head, and he's very creative, and he'll come up with ideas for every single shoot, which makes my job extremely easy."

Not again! Had the takeaway Fish and Chips ( cod). The fish was completely overcooked, mushy and tasteless. I am not even sure if it was cod at all. Tasted rather like something very very cheap. The chips were tasteless and definitely not crispy. The currysauce was not worth the money either. What is the use of a fancy place with lots of decorations, when you cannot eat the food??? I am very disappointed and really miss the takeaway which was there before. The new place seems just another place for tourists who are happy with everything you serve them. I will stay away!!!!!
susan Sun Aug 18Rated as: 1/5 -
It was okay, nothing special. Fish didn't taste that fresh - I think maybe the oil was a bit stale, or it was overcooked (I had haddock). Chips underdone - not crisp enough. Tartar sauce not brilliant, either. Peas cold when they arrived, but I couldn't be bothered to complain because I was just underwhelmed by the whole place. Music too loud and the air raid sirens would keep me away forever. The one plust point was the fact they played the original Marvellettes version of Please Mr Postman, not the Beatles or, worse, Carpenters recordings.
Marciamac Tue Apr 9 -
Very fresh fish. Plaice was very thick and tasted excellent. The haddock was equally great. Chips were very fresh tasting. They use ground nut oil which gives it a great flavour (they do veg oil at request for allergy sufferers). This and one other restaurant are my favourite in London.
Andy Sun Nov 18 2012 -
Five stars, sorry but you must be crazy! The waiting team were lovely. But the fish (grilled haddock) had been over cooked and the chips were only so so. Toffs in Muswell Hill is about 10x better.

Great stuff. Not sure about James's review "Best place for fish and chips is masters in waterloo. Fish bought in billinsgate that morning". Since you went for fish and chips on a Sunday, quite how Masters would get the fish fresh that day from Billingsgate when its closed is beyond my comprehension.

Music terrible. Sit in the back if you don't want to hear it so much. Staff must have to listen to it constantly.

This is the first time I've had fish and chips in a long time.. And I have definitely been missing out! Since visiting Poppies Fish and Chips for the first time a couple of days ago I have been having cravings for their melt in the mouth food since. They also have great customer service and a fast moving queue! So i'll definitely be going back soon, and would recommend it to anyone in the area for lunch/dinner/late nights!
Paul Tue Feb 21 2012Rated as: 5/5 -
Went for takeaway on Sunday and was disappointed unfortunately as I was really looking for a decent place for fish and chips around my area (whitechapel.) The interior is pretty superficial and the staff who I dealt with were far from cockney types..' both issues I could easily overlook. I just found the quality of the fish inferior, batter was greasy and the chips sub standard. Best place for fish and chips is masters in waterloo. Fish bought in billinsgate that morning, battered to order and large portions (with free bread, prawns, gerkin, pickled onion and sauce.) Although the staff are a bit sombre, it's a lot more genuine. Not a bad experience but I haven't been back since.

Getting a new pistol grip for your handgun may be a personal or a practical choice.

In addition, we have rubber and polymer grips available for shooters that want a more comfortable grip, but want it to be more abrasion and damage resistant than wood.

For large caliber rifles there are also rifle stocks available with recoil reduction properties.

Ultimate Fail
Source: plopcultureDPWH Photoshop Fail
by Pierre Albert San DiegoI'm a civil engineer by profession and I love my job and if there's one thing I hate it's people that fabricate their inspection reports. Why? Inspection reports are very important in our field, if the inspection report is erroneous, this might lead to a wrong and/or costly design. Aside from that, it might lead to a very difficult project implementation, and worse, not prepare others from potential safety risks of the site.
Which is why I was uber-pissed when I was checking my updates in FB at around lunch time yesterday and I saw this.
Now, if you didn't have knowledge in Adobe photoshop, you would've just glanced at it and moved on with your life, but I've used the software since I was in high school (I'm 30 now) so I kinda noticed something weird.

Online Store
The Official Online RBS 6 Nations Store is open. The store has everything you need to get behind your team during the RBS 6 Nations, plus the store is now fully stocked with a much wider range of rugby merchandise.
But a first victory on New Zealand soil for 12 years would at least enable the squad to return home with their head held high and Street has made seven changes, one positional, in order to do just that for Saturday's clash at Pukekohe's ECOLight Stadium.
Sarah Hunter will captain the side once again but this time from the No.8 position with youngster Alexandra Matthews handed her second start of the series at flanker.
Also in the pack experienced prop Rochelle Clark comes in whilst lock Tamara Taylor will start alongside Joanne McGilchrist to form a tried and tested second-row partnership.
In the backs speedster Katherine Merchant returns on the wing, as does Amber Reed in the centre, while La Toya Mason will start at scrum-half.
Street said: "We are fielding our most fresh group of players available. The players are in good spirits and have had a couple of days rehabbing and analysing the games and we are looking to finish this series on a high.
"Winning is important but actually performance is key too. A win is nice but we are building towards a World Cup.
"The key thing for me is to get that right and if they do then the result will take care of itself. Certainly learning from the last two games is paramount.
"We have got to play for the full 80 minutes to win and not just play well for periods of the game.
"New Zealand are a quality side and when we have taken our foot off the pedal in the last two tests they have made us pay. For me it is about maintaining that level of performance in this final game and that the players give everything they've got to get the win."
