Would it be a bad idea to start a concluding paragraph with hence?

That's OK if it's still about 1600 CE!!! But we're in 21st century USA, so ... probably not!
Hmmmm, I was thinking "In conclusion" but several websites said that it's obvious if you're concluding a paragraph and that stating so would be an annoyance. I'm not too sure how to end it now :(

Read through this and see if it gives you some good ideas. I'll also hunt up other websites that may help.
Here are some others:

Good ideas about introductions; scroll down almost to the end for the section on conclusions.
