Avnel Gold Mining Limited ("Avnel" or the "Company") is pleased to announce results from a definitive feasibility study for its Kalana Main Project in south-western Mali with an effective date of March 1, 2016 (the "DFS"). The Company is reporting a maiden Mineral Reserve of 1.96 million ounces of gold and an updated Measured plus Indicated Mineral Resource estimate of 3.06 million ounces of gold for the Kalana Main project.
The key performance indicators reported in this news release are based upon 100% ownership of the Kalana Main Project. All amounts are in United States dollars ("$") unless specified otherwise.
The Kalana Project is owned by Société d'Exploitation des Mines d'Or de Kalana, S.A. ("SOMIKA"). Avnel has an 80% equity interest in SOMIKA and the Malian Government holds a beneficial interest in the remaining 20%, which has anti-dilution and free-carry rights. SOMIKA owns and operates the Kalana Gold Mine, a small, Soviet-era, underground gold mine, and holds the rights to the Kalana Exploitation Permit, a combined exploitation and exploration permit that is subject to the 1999 Mining Code and is unique in Mali. The permit covers a surface area of 387.4 km2 and was last renewed in 2003 for a term of 30 years. This permit is host to 29 exploration targets, including the Kalana Main Project, the Company's flagship development-stage project, which is the subject of the DFS.
The DFS was led by Snowden Mining Consultants Pty Ltd. ("Snowden") with the support of several leading consulting firms, all of whom have extensive experience in Mali, including Mr. Ivor Jones of Denny Jones Pty. Ltd. ("Denny Jones"), DRA Projects (Pty) Ltd. ("DRA"), and Epoch Resources. The key performance indicators reported in this news release are based upon 100% ownership of the Kalana Main Project. The assumptions used in the economic evaluation are set out in Table 1 below and the results of the economic evaluation are summarised in Table 2.
A sensitivity analysis was conducted on the Project model, to evaluate its robustness to variation in performance and financial input parameters. The NPV (at 8% discount rate) and IRR sensitivities are presented in Table 3.
The DFS' mine plan provides for 18 years of production from the Kalana Main deposit from a single open-pit with 12 stages as shown in Figure 1. A total of 228 million tonnes will be mined with LOM waste-to-ore ratio of 9.9:1 including the pre-strip. Production schedules are included in the appendix.
The deposit contains high grade mineralized zones that will be extracted by selective mining using 5m benches. Bulk mining of the waste zones will be conducted on 10m benches.
The mine area consists of a weathered zone to an average depth of 60 m below surface which is amenable to free digging. The mining schedule targets the areas of saprolite that will generate higher cash flow early in the mine life. The pre-strip of six months will provide ore stockpiles to enable higher grade ore to be processed in the early years of the mine life.
Mining will be conducted by the owner whilst maintenance of the open pit mining machinery will initially be carried out by the original equipment manufacturer to ensure fleet availability. The maintenance plan provides for a five-year handover period to the owner after completion of the initial capital purchase of the full fleet component.
As part of the DFS, Snowden examined the impact of a lower gold price of $1,000 per ounce on the mine plan and design schedule and cash flow. At this lower price, the mine plan would allow mining of all the current planned pit stages with the exception of stage 12 (see Figure 1). Stages 1 to 11 contain 60% of the reserve ore tonnes, 65% of the reserve gold ounces but only 54% of the waste tonnes. Approximately 50% of stages 1 to 11 are in the softer saprolite material which is mainly free-dig and requiring limited drilling and blasting.
At the lower gold price the capital expenditure to bring the mine into production would remain as planned with the robust cash flow in the early years providing a similar payback period. Stage 12 mining is scheduled to commence 6 years after start of commercial production. Planned sustaining capital would reduce as mining tonnes would be lower requiring less equipment rebuilds.
ROM ore will be delivered from the mine to the processing plant, which consists of a conventional two-stage crushing circuit and a single-stage milling circuit to achieve a target grind size of 80% passing 75 microns as presented in Figure 2 near the end of this news release. The processing plant design is based on annual throughput rates of 1.5 million-tonnes-per-annum ("Mtpa") for saprolite and 1.2 Mtpa for saprock and fresh rock material.
Gold is to be extracted by gravity concentration and a CIL plant to produce a gold dore via elution, electrowinning, and smelting. Gold is recovered from the loaded carbon in an elution and electrowinning circuit and will be poured into doré bars on site. Life of mine average recovery is projected to be 92.7% (including tailings) resulting in LOM production of 1.82 million ounces.
The plant design philosophy incorporates a requirement that the processing plant be constructed in a manner that would expedite the construction of the leaching and adsorption circuit with the intention of processing historic tailings from the underground Kalana Gold Mine prior to the hot commissioning of the mill. These tailings are intended to be recovered by hydraulic mining and processed through the CIL circuit over a 5-month period and then for 3 months during the hot commissioning of the mill. This represents an opportunity to generate pre-commercial production cash flow that will partially offset development capital requirements.
The initial cost to achieve commercial production is estimated to be $196.3 million as shown in Table 4(a).
Major capital items are the processing plant and plant infrastructure, purchase of the mining fleet, construction of the tailings storage facility, initial phases of the resettlement action plan, and owner's costs.
Revenue, net of costs and taxes, generated by gold production of 53,000 ounces from processing existing gravity tailings and ore during the commissioning of the mill total $41.2 million and will offset the capital expenditure. Working capital is estimated at $8.1 million.
The average production over the first 5 full years of steady-state production is approximately 148,000 recovered ounces per year at a Cash Operating Cost of $460 per ounce. Including refining, transportation, and royalties, the Total Cash Cost is $507 per ounce. Including sustaining capital and mine operator fees to be earned by Avnel, on-site AISC are $595 per ounce. A summary of unit operating costs over the first 5 years of steady-state production is presented in Table 5(a).
Over the LOM, average annual production is approximately 101,000 ounces at an average Cash Operating Cost, Total Cash Cost, and on-site AISC of $648 per ounce, $695 per ounce, and $784 per ounce, respectively. A summary of unit operating costs over the LOM is presented in Table 5(b).
The Kalana Exploitation Permit constitutes a right to mine and a right to explore over the entire 387.4 square kilometers. The only permitting required is the approval of an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment ("ESIA") for any one or more mines on that permit. The Kalana Main Project, the development of an open pit on top of a Soviet-built underground mine, is a new mine and an ESIA has been completed and submitted to the government for approval together with an associated Environmental and Social Management Plan ("ESMP"). The ESIA has been prepared to conform to the requirements of the International Finance Corporation's Performance Standards, the World Bank Group's Environmental, Health, and Safety guidelines, and other financial institutions that are signatories to the Equator Principles with the intention of pursuing international mine construction financing.
The ESIA and ESMP were examined by an inter-ministerial commission chaired by the Ministry of the Environment. The chairman of the commission declared at the close of the hearing that the study has been validated subject to requiring certain limited supplemental information. It is expected that the permit will be issued in the second quarter 2016.
The existing underground mine is in full compliance with all environmental obligations and is audited by the ministry of environment annually. Avnel and SOMIKA have since 2003 been actively involved with the Kalana workforce, organized labour, community elected and traditional leaders, and has invested with the community in enhancement projects ranging from Kalana village electrification to schools medical clinics, youth facilities, and have actively promoted sports.
Although the lateral extents of the Kalana Main deposit have been fairly well defined, the deposit is open for expansion at depth, and there is significant regional exploration potential. Avnel's exploration team has dedicated significant resources to the evaluation of regional exploration prospects outside of the Kalana Main area. This initial work is based upon historical data carried out by others, regional work conducted by Avnel and the IAMGOLD Corporation since 2005, and the Company's ongoing field surveys of active and historical orpaillage. This work, which is ongoing, is intended to prioritise targets for future exploration.
A high-priority exploration project for the Company is the Kalanako deposit, which has the potential to improve the Kalana Main production schedule in the later years of mine life with additional drilling. Kalanako is located 3 km northeast of Kalana Main. Kalanako consists of several sub-parallel northwest - southwest striking mineralised trends that have been established from historical exploration data. The drilling dataset consists of information collected from 30 diamond drill holes totaling 24,928 m and 235 RC drill holes totaling 7,699 m. Two mineralized trends have been established from widely spaced RC drilling and are interpreted to have strike lengths of 250 m to 500 m, are less than 10 m thick, and appear to be steeply dipping based upon field observations and drilling results. The Company believes that the mineralised zones at Kalanako are open for expansion and that additional drilling is warranted. On March 26, 2015, the Company reported a maiden In Situ Mineral Resource for the Kalanako deposit. The Inferred portion is 0.38 million tonnes grading 5.55 g/t Au containing 0.07 million ounces at a cut-off grade of 0.90 g/t Au utilizing a gold price assumption of $1,500 per ounce. The Kalanako In Situ Mineral Resource does not include any local estimates for internal or external dilution.
The Company will file a National Instrument 43-101 Standards for Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") compliant technical report in support of the DFS on SEDAR within 45 days of this news release. For further information with respect to the key assumptions, parameters, and risks associated with the results of the DFS, the Mineral Resource estimates included therein, and other technical information, please refer to the technical report to be made available on SEDAR.

Grading the Wolverines: The defense does its job, but the two Devins hurt the offense
Updated: Apr. 03, 2019, 4:50 a.m. | Published: Nov. 09, 2014, 6:19 p.m.
College football: Michigan at Northwestern
Gallery: College football: Michigan at Northwestern
EVANSTON, Ill. -- A win is, in fact, a win. And right now, Brady Hoke will take any victory he can get.
Whether he wins 10-9, 3-2, 77-75, whatever. The Wolverines will take it.
But Saturday's performance was another example of one side of the football doing everything it can to blow a game, and the other doing everything it can to make up and save the game.
In the end, fortunately for Hoke, the defense won the internal tug of war and secured a victory at Northwestern. The win put Hoke at 4-0 against Pat Fitzgerald and 3-0 in Evanston.
On to this week's grades:
QUARTERBACKS: F
Devin Gardner's on his third system in five years, and that's not fair. No player should have to go through that much coaching transition. But at some point, he has to be better with the fundamental basics of reading a defense. Because right now, two games away from ending his career, he's not doing it at all. And what is Michigan doing with its quarterbacks? If Gardner looks this bad, and makes this many mistakes, what does that say about Shane Morris and where he's at? Gardner's first pick was partially on Jake Butt, the second one was all him. But how much time have we spent over the past two years trying to figure out who to blame every time he throws an interception? Gardner's not getting any better, and the coaching staff doesn't appear to have any type of secondary option at this point.
RUNNING BACKS: B+
De'Veon Smith ran like a guy who had something to prove Saturday afternoon, and it worked well for him. Smith had more pop in his step at Northwestern, something that looked like it was missing a week ago against Indiana. Drake Johnson started the game and had a few nice runs, but Smith was the work horse, toting it 18 times for 121 yards and a score. Michigan's running back stable looks like it'll be pretty darn good for the next few years. Consider this: Smith, Johnson, a healthy Derrick Green and an eligible Ty Issac in 2015? That looks pretty darn strong on paper, and everyone but Issac has had a chance to test themselves in a game. Only hiccup by Smith was missing a hole on a blown 4th and short play early in the game. Johnson also nearly lost a fumble in the second half, but was saved when Joe Kerridge made a heads up play for the recovery.
WIDE RECEIVERS/TIGHT ENDS: D
I'm not sure what's wrong with Devin Funchess, but like Gardner, at some point there has to be consequences for playing this poorly. Unlike at quarterback, though, Michigan has other options here. It can sit this guy down and play someone else. Because if your 6-foot-5, 230-pound wide receiver wants to drop passes and make nothing but a negative impact on the game, then find a spot for him on the bench. Play Amara Darboh and Jehu Chesson with Bo Dever in the slot, at least they seem ready to compete. Funchess is an extraordinary talent, and he has a bright future ahead of him. But right now, he needs to learn that the little things matter. The effort and the technique has to play up to the talent level. Someone should download some video of Jeremy Gallon to Funchess' iPad this week. Have him watch a guy who prepared like a pro, did all the little things and played like a reliable football player week in and week out.
OFFENSIVE LINE: B+
Saturday was a bit of a milestone for these guys, as Michigan played a game without allowing a sack for the first time since Nov. 17, 2012 -- basically two years. On top of that, Michigan's offensive line controlled the line of scrimmage basically from bell to bell Saturday night, as the running game was pretty much the only thing that worked given Gardner's struggles. Was it perfect? Not really. But this group played well Saturday, and bit by bit, is improving. The pass protection is much better right now than it was a year ago. They're still nowhere near where they should be given Michigan's refusal to do anything but rely on power football. But some strides are being made. And, keep in mind, every player and every reserve (save for Joey Burzynski) up front is back next season.
DEFENSIVE LINE: A
Frank Clark was fantastic Saturday afternoon, and Northwestern didn't have any combination on its offensive line that could handle him. Three pass deflections in the first half, a sack, 8 tackles, 2 1/2 for a loss. This has been Clark's best season at Michigan from a TFL standpoint, and he's the team's third-leading tackler as a defensive end. Also, Brennen Beyer continues to be steady as can be. He's up to 5 1/2 sacks on the season, as the Wolverines have now eclipsed 2013's sack total as a team. Stellar day again from the big men. When Mario Ojemudia's two-sack day is overshadowed by other guys up front, you know you're doing something right.
LINEBACKERS: A
Jake Ryan might not win the Butkus Award, but he deserves to be among the semifinalists -- which he is. His interception was obviously terrific, but his plays in the backfield and against the run are what's setting him apart. At one point in the second half, Ryan shot an A-gap, held the center back with his left arm and wrapped up the running back with his right for a zero rush. Give him 90 tackles (13 for a loss), 2 sacks, 2 forced fumbles and an interception. And there's still two games to play. Also underrated a bit here was James Ross III. He played a lot more Saturday early, as Michigan went with its base on third down more than its nickel. So, in a way, Ross was forced to play nickel. All things considered, he held up pretty well.
SECONDARY: C+
Northwestern didn't hit any big plays, but then again, they rarely do. At the same time, Blake Countess had a terrible time keeping up with underneath receivers all game long, as he was victimized on the same plays seemingly over and over, especially late in the game. Michigan played softer coverage against Northwestern, and since the Wildcats only scored one touchdown, you can say that worked. Teams really aren't throwing much at Jourdan Lewis these days, which means Countess and Ray Taylor have to be better on their own side of the field. Michigan's safeties are also hit and miss at times, far too inconsistent.
SPECIAL TEAMS: A
On a day where you needed your punter to be terrific, Will Hagerup was just that. He dropped two punts inside the Northwestern 5, one of which was caught by Delonte Hollowell basically on the goal line. A terrific kick. His average will go down, actually, but it doesn't matter -- he was asked to punt in short space, and he excelled in that. He also had a long of 57 in there for good measure. Amara Darboh also looked extremely comfortable in punt return duty for an injured Dennis Norfleet.
COACHING: (Offense: F, Defense: A, Overall: ... Pass)
Greg Mattison and Mark Smith have done a terrific job developing the front seven on this defense, and give Brady Hoke credit there, too. The defensive linemen get better every week, and so do the linebackers. Michigan is not an easy team to run the ball on. The secondary? It's better than it was. Everything on that side of the ball appears to be improving week after week. Also credit Hoke and his defensive staff for sniffing out what the Wildcats were going to do on that two-point play. A nice job of advance scouting, and a better job of reacting in the moment. But the offense is just horrendous. You're getting nothing from Gardner, nothing from Funchess, nothing in terms of anything creative from Doug Nussmeier and just constant looks of confusion across the board. Your defense holds the opponent to negative rushing yardage and you nearly lose the football game because you can't move the ball. Heck, your offensive line actually played one of the cleanest games its had in more than a year, and you still find ways to sabotage yourself. In the end, though, it's a win. And that this point, grading these guys on a "pass/fail" scale is about all that's left to do. So, it's a win. Pass.

Kelowna tops B.C. poll as place to open a small business
By Doyle Potenteau	Online Journalist	Global News
Kelowna is the top place in British Columbia to open a small business, according to a new report that will be released next week.
The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) says it decided to gauge how easy or hard it was to open a business in 20 municipalities across the province. Using a secret shopper technique, CFIB states that it posed as a member of the local community in order to gauge the helpfulness of municipalities' responses to small business queries.
Small businesses should be compensated for transit construction: CFIB
'Incomes of $50,000 or greater could be impacted': CFIB Director on small business tax proposal
Sask. small business optimism falls for third straight month: CFIB report
Kelowna placed first with a score of 86 out of 100, with Delta placing second at 81 and Langley third at 78. Coquitlam (76) was fourth with Prince George (75) in fifth.

Rounding out the top 10 were Langley (74), Surrey (73), Richmond (72), Victoria (72) and Vancouver (70). Placing last out of the 20 communities, with 17 of them being in Metro Vancouver, was Port Moody (42). The CFIB said grades were based on three components: access to information, quality of information and regulatory framework.
It added that these three categories "get to the heart of how red tape affects business owners every day. Hassles like duplication of process, needless regulations, paperwork and poor customer service are just some of the types of red tape businesses can face. The presence of these factors increases the cost of doing business in a municipality and puts further pressures on small business owners."
READ MORE: Small business payroll tax report
Two areas where Kelowna excelled were cost of retail business licence and regulatory framework. Kelowna's cost for a retail business licence was listed as $140.94, with the average of all 20 being $210.72. The lowest costs went to Delta ($110), Maple Ridge ($110), Langley ($127.50) and Richmond ($139), with the most expensive licences going to Surrey ($274.25), White Rock ($275), Prince George ($280) and Burnaby ($600).
Regarding regulatory framework, Kelowna scored 40 out of 40 in six categories. Delta (34) and Langley (31) were second and third in regulatory framework.
Notably, Kelowna's score could have been higher, but it dropped the ball in one area: online and/or downloadable business licence application. According to the CFIB, Kelowna was the only city not to have one.

Album Review: California Hearse by California Hearse
Mere days after reviewing Gentlemen Prefer Blood's final release Weathered (which you can read here), I received an email from a PR company telling me about some of the band members' new project California Hearse. Featuring Gentlemen Prefer Blood's former rhythm section, the duo put out a new six song self-titled EP in December – they really didn't hang around!
The first track on the EP is named Welcome Home. Straight away you can tell that this would be a much poppier outing compared to the duo's former band. As soon as the vocals come in, there's this great bouncy energy that gets me very engaged in the song. Welcome Home is packed full of hooks and, after a few times listening to the song, I keep finding something else that grabs my attention. The way that the band ramp up the energy on the final verse is outstanding, it really had me smiling whilst trying to sing along. The second song on the EP is titled Used To Be. It's a sad song about missing a departed loved one and remembering the insignificant things like how they'd always sit in the same place. Despite the sad message in the song, it's a catchy song that does a great job in grabbing the listener's attention. Of course, the line that stands out the most is "where you used to be" which is sung with a great amount of sadness.
Best Worst is my favourite type of pop punk – fast paced guitars, rapid fire vocals and superb harmonies. After the solemn Used To Be, Best Worst gives the EP a real adrenaline boost. The energy in this song is overflowing as the band race through the first couple of verses and choruses leaving you breathless. This makes the moment when the song does slow down feel even more important as it builds towards that big ending with some glorious harmonies. The track is about wasting too much of your time on things you later realise are bad for you. Seriously, the harmonies at the end of the song – wow! After this massive energy boost the next song, Dissection, begins with the lyrics "so I get that you're dead more inside than me." This is a slower tempo track that has more than a hint of new MXPX about it. The short, sharp way that the lyrics in the verse are delivered is a great contrast to the chorus that cries out to be sung along with. All together now "let's dissect our broken hearts, let's make maps of all our scars!"
The penultimate track is named Half Death. Opening with some buzzsaw guitars that bring the energy back up, the song is about being in the middle portion of your life and still living the same way that you did when you were younger. The saying "age is just a number" comes to mind when I think about this song. The fast paced vocals along with the simple drum beat give the song a fresh sound compared to the rest of the EP which is welcome. I'm really impressed with how California Hearse's lead singer can stick to this melody without the aid of a guitar to back him up. A great track, full of energy – lovely. The final song on the EP is named No Seoul. The track starts in a really slow and downbeat fashion as the band sing about living with depression and feeling beat up emotionally. There's a real dark and moody tone to the opening of the song as the band go through two verses before it builds towards the big ending with a superb chorus. It's a real solemn way to end what is a great debut EP.
The best way for me to describe this EP is by saying it's a modern take on Lookout records pop punk. I'm seriously impressed by the quality of the songwriting on the EP. It's pop punk but manages to feel varied and no two songs sound alike. To be able to release two excellent EP's in the same year shows some serious talent. I'm glad these guys are continuing to make music together following the end of their former band.

The residential buildings are oriented to both to the gardens and to the streets, but this paradigm is changed through this created space for activities, work, services and exchanges. The office building is part of an effort to bring functional diversity while responding to entrepreneurial issues: companies being attracted by tax-free areas to settle their headquarters for a certain time, they will be changing and the building will have to be flexible to meet these variables.
It offers them greater flexibility in planning and organization, free space with minimal bearing points. However behind its neutrality, the facade has a dynamic urban aspect: undulating through streams, its white shell seems to lead a movement in the neighborhood.
Construction system : concrete structure on 6 floors. Raft foundation. Prefabricated concrete elements for the facade.
MATERIALS : Exterior skin made of prefab concrete elements. Aluminium frames and double glazed windows.
Concrete floors on typical floor, oak wood flooring on the 6th floor. Acacia wood terrace.
Energy consumption : dual purpose air-air heat-pump; French energy regulation (RT2005).
Based in Paris and Bordeaux, Martin Duplantier is a young architect and urban designer, also graduated from HEC Business School. After a start in different international offices (GMP in Berlin and then David Chipperfield in London, who co-designed the HEC campus extension with Martin in 2012) , Martin develops various scales of work, including innovative sustainable approaches at urban scale and a proper design process enriched by his multicultural influences and his personal background.
- New densities in urbanity: multiple current projects give opportunities to develop not only new housing typologies but also innovative urban fabrics through mix-used programs in suburbia.
- Urban regeneration: 1950-70s urbanity has left entire city chunks that need to be transformed and recycled (Arago project is currently on site).
Martin Duplantier Architectes gathers about 15 to 20 architects. He achieves elegant projects and tackles bigger scale through diverse programs.


When it comes to dealing with infidelity, it can be a heartbreaking and emotional experience, regardless of gender. As much as men may try to put on a front of being strong and tough, dealing with infidelity can be an emotional venture. The woman doing the cheating does not have the fortitude to be honest and upfront. It is a matter of a person's character when they cheat on a spouse or significant other. A cheater's heart is torn in different direction, and they try to hang on to person they have been with while at the same time finding comfort in the arms of another man or woman.
It is a deceitful and selfish act to cheat on someone behind their back because the cheater is not committing to either partner. The cheater lies somewhere in the middle, either intending to decide to leave the previous man or is on the fence about which man to choose. Many men do not expect to be cheated on, but when it happens many men do not know how to react.
If a man finds out his wife or girlfriend is cheating then allow her to dig a deeper hole for herself by remaining silent as she tells more lies. If she is upfront and honest from the beginning then there is a smidge of character left within. If she is stubborn and refuses to acknowledge the truth then it is not only a matter of infidelity, but it speaks to the character of a person who will constantly tell lies to get out of trouble.
Men react differently when dealing with infidelity, but the sensible thing to do would be to end the relationship with no questions asked. Mending a relationship after infidelity is not impossible, but there will be a lingering feeling mistrust if the woman ever steps outside alone. There is no easy way to go about dealing with infidelity, but if a man chooses to accept a woman after she has cheated then a long and deep-rooted talk is necessary to clear any problems or hidden issues. Everything needs to be brought to the surface so any issue does not rear its ugly head later in the relationship.
Men should always be firm, regardless if he accepts the cheating woman again or not. Being a doormat will not only shred any ounce of self-respect or manhood, but the woman will not respect a man who backs down easily when such a monumental event occurs in a relationship. If going to keep a woman who has cheated then men should let the woman know that if she cheats again the relationship is over with no questions asked. Men should always make this statement final and concrete with no wiggle room.
For men who want to move on, this may be the best step. It is a way of setting standards while refusing to associate with people who betray and lie. No matter how emotional she may get, remaining calm and stern will place the man on a higher pedestal, and he will always come out the winner by choosing to end a relationship that is plagued with lies and treachery.


This year, Selby High School made its first entry into the 'Youth Speaks' public speaking contest. Representing the school were Joe Johnson, Euan Forsyth, and Sam Ramsay, with Alysha Mather acting as reserve. The contest is open to anyone between the ages of 11-18; those who enter are required to speak in front of a panel of judges for six minutes on any topic that interests them. Our team's speech was entitled 'What makes a hero?' and was an exploration of the ideas of heroism and the qualities required in a role model. Sadly, we did not win, but the team did extremely well nonetheless – especially so given that it was our first ever attempt, and some of our opponents have been competing for many years now. The team had a great night, and hopefully, when we re-enter next year, we will be better prepared by this year's experiences.


Miniature overhead cardioid condenser mics for speech, vocal and choral pickup. May be used for installation over choirs, in courtrooms, conferencing and in meeting rooms. 30' of cable is permanently attached to the flex gooseneck for easy positioning and adjustments when suspended.

NFL Week 8 Playoff Implications: If The Seahawks Lose, The NFC Gains
Oct. 22, 2014 , at 1:05 PM
By Mike Beuoy and Reuben Fischer-Baum
Filed under Football
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton throws during the second half against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday in Indianapolis.
Michael Conroy / AP
NFL Playoff Implications, our weekly guide to what games matter, and whom they matter to, returns for Week 8 of the NFL season. For an explanation of the methodology, see here. The rankings behind these probabilities can be found here, at the co-author's blog.
UPDATE (Oct. 24, 2:44 p.m.): The interactive tables above have been updated to include Thursday night's game, which now shows no playoff implications because its result is included in the playoff chances (the text of the article has not been updated).
Playoff spots are a finite resource in NFL. Like squeezing a balloon, if one team's playoff chances decline, other teams' chances expand.
Take, for example, Sunday's game between the New Orleans Saints and the Detroit Lions. In last week's column, we highlighted this as the most consequential game — 12 of the 16 NFC teams had a rooting interest in what took place at Ford Field that afternoon. And, with the exception of the Saints' NFC South rivals, they all wanted the Lions to lose. To understand why is to understand the interconnected nature of NFL playoff probabilities. Going into Week 7, the Lions were 4-2 and an above-average team. But they also have a superior division rival in the Green Bay Packers. With Green Bay crowding out the Lions' division title hopes, the Lions' playoff hopes lay in a wild card spot, which, in turn, crowds out its other NFC rivals.
A Lions loss would have opened the door for the rest of the NFC in the wild card competition.
The Saints, on the other hand, play in the NFC South, where mediocrity reigns. Someone has to come out on top of that mess and make the playoffs, but it is unlikely that a wild card team will as well. As a result, the rest of the NFC becomes largely indifferent to the goings on in the NFC South. To torture our balloon analogy: The NFC South is its own self-contained balloon, with playoff probabilities traded only among those four teams.
Last week's top game featured 12 teams with a statistically valid interest in the result. This week's top game1, the Seattle Seahawks visiting the Carolina Panthers, features 14 interested teams. None of the NFC South teams won last Sunday, making it even less likely that a wild card team will emerge from that division. So, with the exception of the Saints, Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the other 11 NFC teams should be hoping for a Seahawks loss on Sunday.
The Panthers' tie game against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6 has interesting implications. It magnifies the impact of each game by making projections of playoff seeding more certain. With only 16 regular-season games, teams competing for playoff berths often finish with identical records, requiring the use of tiebreakers (e.g. head-to-head record, division record, conference record, "strength of victory," etc.). Those tiebreakers add a layer of uncertainty in our simulations. But now that the Panthers have a tie in their record, tiebreakers become largely moot.2 Barring another tie game, Carolina is in a game of leapfrog with its competitors in the NFC South — half a game out of sync with everyone else.
The magnifying effect of a tie can also be seen in this week's top AFC matchup: the Bengals hosting the Baltimore Ravens. In contrast to the top NFC game, this game only affects six teams, but the swings are significant, particularly for the two participants. A loss by the Bengals would drop their playoff chances to 40 percent. A victory would put them at 67 percent — a 27 percentage-point swing (the largest swing for any NFL team this week). A Ravens victory would give them the inside track on the AFC North title and an overall playoff probability of 92 percent. The other four teams with rooting interest are the Pittsburgh Steelers, San Diego Chargers, Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills, and all four would prefer a Ravens victory because the Bengals are a bigger threat to wild card position.
In general, NFC games create bigger swings this week than the AFC games. The NFC's playoff picture is more open than the AFC's. In the AFC, the Broncos and Colts both have a greater than 90 percent chance of making the playoffs, and the Raiders and Jaguars have flatlined at 0 percent. But in the NFC, even the lowly Buccaneers and Vikings have a non-zero chance of making the postseason in our simulations.
In last week's column, we called swing "leverage." We'll be using "swing" from now on. For more background on the concept, whatever you call it, this 2006 article by Tom Tango is an excellent introduction.)
Being a relatively rare occurrence in the NFL, we do not forecast ties in our simulations of the remainder of the season.

Clarence-Rockland (offiziell City of Clarence-Rockland) ist eine Flächengemeinde im Südosten der kanadischen Provinz Ontario. Die Stadt liegt in den Prescott and Russell United Counties und hat den Status einer Lower Tier (untergeordneten Gemeinde).

Die Stadt hat ihren Verwaltungssitz im Ortsteil Rockland. Sie entstand im Jahr 1998 durch die Zusammenlegung vorher eigenständiger Gemeinden, der "Town of Rockland" und dem "Township of Clarence". In der Gemeinde lebt eine große Anzahl von Franko-Ontarier. Bei offiziellen Befragungen gaben rund 65 % der Bewohner an französisch als Muttersprache oder Umgangssprache zu verwenden. Etwa 35 % der Bewohner gaben an englisch als Muttersprache oder Umgangssprache zu sprechen. In Clarence-Rockland gilt der "French Language Services Act". Obwohl Ontario offiziell nicht zweisprachig ist, sind nach diesem Sprachgesetz die Provinzbehörden verpflichtet ihre Dienstleistungen auch in französischer Sprache anzubieten. Die Gemeinde gehört auch der Association française des municipalités d'Ontario (AFMO) an und fördert die französische Sprachnutzung auch auf Gemeindeebene.

Lage
Die Gemeinde liegt am südlichen Ufer des Flusses Ottawa und setzt sich aus zahlreichen Ortsteilen zusammen. Die wichtigsten sind Bourget, Cheney, Clarence, Clarence Creek, Hammond, Rockland und Saint-Pascal-Baylon. Clarence-Rockland grenzt nach Westen unmittelbar an Ottawa, hier den Stadtbezirk Cumberland bzw. liegt etwa 130 Kilometer Luftlinie westlich von Montreal.

Demografie
Der Zensus im Jahr 2016 ergab für die Gemeinde eine Bevölkerungszahl von 24.512 Einwohnern, nachdem der Zensus im Jahr 2011 für die Gemeinde noch eine Bevölkerungszahl von nur 23.185 Einwohnern ergeben hatte. Die Bevölkerung hat damit im Vergleich zum letzten Zensus im Jahr 2011 leicht über dem Trend in der Provinz um 5,7 % zugenommen, während der Provinzdurchschnitt bei einer Bevölkerungszunahme von 4,6 % lag. Bereits im Zensuszeitraum von 2006 bis 2011 hatte die Einwohnerzahl in der Gemeinde, damals deutlich stärker als der Trend, um 11,5 % zugenommen, während sie im Provinzdurchschnitt um 5,7 % zunahm.

Verkehr
Durch die Clarence-Rockland Transpo werden verschiedene Busverbindungen, unter anderem mit Ottawa und Gatineau, angeboten.

'Dragon Ball FighterZ' Trailer Gives First Look At Super Saiyan Blue Goku And Vegeta
By Tanner Dedmon - September 5, 2017 01:59 pm EDT
Bandai Namco revealed a new trailer showcasing two of Dragon Ball FighterZ's most anticipated characters, the Super Saiyan Blue forms of both Goku and Vegeta.
The trailer for the two fighters was revealed on Friday during Gamescom. While the appearance of the two Dragon Ball fighters isn't totally unexpected after they were previewed earlier in the month, this is the first time that players have been able to see them in action in-game as they take on other popular fighters.
Earlier this month, the two were previewed after some images of the Super Saiyan Blue variations showed up in an issue of Weekly Jump. The still images of the two high-powered fighters were enough to get Dragon Ball fans excited about the game, but the trailer for the two makes them look even more impressive than you'd expect them to be.
Each of them brings some of their signature moves to fights, Goku having his 10x God Kamehameha and Vegeta equipped with his iconic Final Flash Attack. Some images seen in the Weekly Jump preview also indicated that Goku might be able to sue his Kaio-Ken while he's in his Super Saiyan Blue form, and the trailer seems to corroborate that theory.
Another question surrounding the initial reveal of the two fighters was whether or not Goku and Vegeta would be able to transform into their Super Saiyan Blue forms in-game or if the Super Saiyan versions would be entirely separate characters. Addressing that question, Bandai Namco did confirm recently that the two fighters will be separate characters that'll both be unlockable in-game. Those that pre-order the physical version of the game will be able to play as them right away.
Dragon Ball FighterZ is scheduled to release in February of 2018 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC with a closed beta beginning on September 16th.

This year's "Color of the Year" is tangerine orange. Orange has often been on my "do not wear" list, but the sweet and bright tangerine has definitely changed that opinion. One thing I love about it as well is the seamless transition from spring to summer.
If you are feeling timid, pair one of the bright accessories with a more neutral top. Even better, use it as an awesome shade of nail polish!
It feels like blue is everywhere this season, and taking a note from nature, so are waves and whimsical watercolors of blue.
Here are some of the best and budget-friendly. Some are a little over my $100 limit, but I couldn't resist!
I was beyond excited when I found this dress at BR and it fit like a dream. I haven't had an Easter dress since I can remember! I opted out of having a hat and gloves though like I used to.
Do you buy new dresses for holidays?
I love fashion week. It brings so much excitement to the fashion world, and such a fun blend of new and retro fashion. My particular favorites are one's which combine the two in new ways (for example floral print combined with skinny jeans).
Often times it feels a little inaccessible for us normal people, but over the months you can see the designer's inspiration and concepts making their way into regular clothing.


While I think shopping's fun, I've never cared much for a mall. I love flea markets! Tag sales and antique/thrift stores are fun, too. Items that have withstood time or have a past history are interesting. Like many Farmgirls, I'm passionate about vintage items, and love anything glass! When glass is colorful, it's even more tempting!
My childhood kitchen was red, colorful and inviting. Sure, there were gold appliances popular in the 70's, but there were also red-and-white-checked cafe curtains mom had sewn herself, and a big strawberry McCoy cookie jar that was always filled. It was a big eat-in kitchen, but on holidays we sat in the dining room using tableware reserved for special occasions. Mom's ruby-colored crystal water glasses graced the table on those occasions, and then stored in the credenza for safekeeping. The goblets would make the sweetest twinkling sound as we'd tiptoe by the credenza. I remember how I loved the way water looked in those iridescent cranberry glasses! I knew I was a "big girl" when I drank water from one on a special holiday. As an adult, Mom gave them to me as a housewarming present. How they survived shipping is a miracle! Mom bought her water goblets in 1964 from Foley's Department store. Today, they're stored in my china cabinet, but I don't often use them, and my daughter's never sipped water from one! They're so delicate with thin rims – I'm afraid I'll break one! (They still make that familiar "tinkling" sound when my footsteps vibrate the cabinet).
Last fall, I was in a thrift store with one of my friends when she spied a set of glasses and a pitcher. She exclaimed, "Nicole, that just screams "you"! Not knowing what the set was, I could tell it was old, probably from the 1950's. Clear at the top, the bottom half of each piece is a pretty cranberry red. It was love at first sight, and I was thrilled with the price tag: $4.00 for the whole set! Bringing my new treasure home, research revealed it was a "Blendo" set.
"Blendo" glass, made by the West Virginia Specialty Glass company, was most popular during the 1950's and 1960's, when colorful dresses wore worn with colorful aprons and cocktail parties were a popular past time. Blendo glass came in a variety of shapes and colors, and featured pitchers, glasses, cocktail shakers and serve ware such as salad sets and cruets. Today, Blendo's popularity is increasing again. Collectors can find really reasonable prices on pieces at thrift stores, tag sales, and online through Facebook, Etsy, and Ebay.
This tall Blendo pitcher is a "frosted" example.
It's recognizable by the clear glass that "blends" into a rainbow of colors such as blue, orange, yellow, pink and more. The "frosted" pieces have a cool, refreshing look that begs to hold cold lemonade or iced tea to be served on a hot day. I love my cranberry red set, as it blends (pardon the pun) with spring, summer, or fall decor, as well as served me well (no pun intended again) at the holidays. Just use care to always wash by hand, and do not use harsh detergents, because the color can fade and flake off if handled improperly.
That same friend found another piece of the same color for me at Christmas. This piece is a small footed pitcher with a glass stirrer, shaped like a very large brandy snifter. This was used in the cocktail era to serve large batches of martinis. I think it's adorable!
I love tin trays, too. The vintage one this Blendo piece is on is vintage from Denmark (like my husband, hee-hee).
Another friend and I have a tradition at Christmas, the "Vintage Gift Challenge". Our gifts to each other must be vintage and under $10. This year, she gave me a chip and dip set in the same cranberry color as the pitchers and glasses! Oddly, she found it in a store and put it away before I ever found that first pitcher and glass set! I'm so lucky to have friends that really know me! The shape of the bowls are unique, and if you turn the little bowl around on the stand, it becomes a salad set… genius design!
My particular set came in the original box, made by Indiana Glass, but similar pieces are listed on eBay under "Blendo". Can't you just imagine ladies of a bygone time, in pearls and heels, getting together for a game of bridge and serving munchies in colorful glass? If you spy a beautiful, old glass pitcher or serving piece by West Virginia or Indiana glass, snap it up. The pieces recall another era, but are still beautiful today. Try a colorful Blendo pitcher filled with flowers as a vase, or use a bowl as a centerpiece.
Tell me, are you are a Blendo or vintage glassware fan, too? What's your favorite color of glass?
Happy New Year! I'm not much of a "resolution maker". Instead of looking at what needs "fixing", I reflect on what was great or what was accomplished. I do keep a "bucket list" – adding and crossing off as I go through this adventure called life. 2015 was wonderful, and I'm thrilled I completed something I wanted to for a very long time: becoming a Certified Master Gardener!
I began gardening at age seven, when my dad and I planted our first veggie garden in Houston, Texas. In the early 70's, I was also my dad's "helper" when we planted pine tree seedlings along the fence line of my dad's ranch in the Texas hill country. Those trees are still there, sky-high and thriving. From then on, I was hooked on all things gardening!
I am always so happy in my garden and flower beds.
Relocating to Connecticut over twenty years ago, I had to learn planting in a completely different zone with a totally different climate, adapting my gardening and choice of plantings to suit the area. (Master Gardeners have a great mantra: "Right plant, right place" – best garden advice ever)! For years I've admired a nearby home with its beautiful yard and garden, belonging to a Master Gardener, and my father and I long talked about how wonderful it'd be to have Master Gardener training. I decided finally not to talk about it anymore, but to do it.
Started in 1972, Master Gardener programs are offered throughout the country at county Cooperative Extension Centers through land grant universities. Interns in the program are trained in the science of gardening and horticulture; in return, they become volunteers – passing what is learned to the public. Programs emphasize doing the "right thing", and the education is research proven. The amount of time to complete the course varies, but Connecticut requires one of the longest amount of hours, and is very environmentally focused. According to Julia Cencebaugh, Master Gardener Program Coordinator, Fairfield County Extension, there are around 100 Connecticut Master Gardener Interns each year. The course is offered through the University of Connecticut County Extension near me every two years. I excitedly filled out the application and in December 2014, learned I'd been accepted to the program. I couldn't wait for January!
Once a week for four months, January to April, the 2015 Master Gardener Interns would take an all-day class. Each week's class was a different subject: topics like botany, plant pathology, entomology, IPM and more. I'd go home at the end of the day, tired but exhilarated by what we learned – joking after each class that my brain had a new wrinkle! I couldn't wait for planting season to put what I learned to use! It was a long, cold winter; those gardening classes made the cold season fly by.
We interns were all different ages and backgrounds, but shared a common interest and goal. In addition to classes, we took a written midterm exam, and a diagnostic final, where we had to identify the plant and/or the problem. I was so nervous – I hadn't taken a test in decades!
We also had to complete a "TSV" – tree, shrub, vine project, and were given a list of plant specimens to find and research. For nine months, I snipped, dried and stayed up past my family's bedtime pasting specimens, researching and typing. At first I was intimidated by the project, but soon enjoyed it. I learned more than I could've imagined!
My TSV binder is thick! It's now a helpful reference and a treasured souvenir of my year.
A page from my project showing forsythia.
It wasn't easy because I had other commitments, as well. I blog, I'm a Scout leader, I teach classes; I have a husband and daughter, we've pets and chickens to care for and a home to maintain. I have my own garden, as well. But this was something I wanted to do; I was determined to see it through.
I was amazed how much I didn't know, learning universal Latin plant names, and noticing details like leaf galls or insect damage. A new world was opening up as I spied plants, leaves and bugs everywhere. It was fascinating. I relished learning about my areas' trees, something I didn't have much knowledge of. (Before, all evergreens were "Christmas trees"). Now I know what different trees are, how to care for them, and to watch for signs of disease. This serves me well, since our property is partially wooded.
Before graduation, each intern must complete sixty hours of service, thirty volunteering in the office and thirty volunteering for an outreach project. I enjoyed the office hours. My mentors were amazing teachers! It was exciting being able to answer questions on plant issues for clients, or acting as a sleuth – identifying a "mystery" plant brought in.
Proud to wear that apron! I logged in about 75 hours this year, but there are MG's who have hundreds (even 1000!) of hours of service under their belts!
For my other hours, I chose to work in the Master Gardener Demonstration Garden (http://www.fairfieldcountydemonstrationgarden.com/) right on the Extension property. Designed in 2013 by a dedicated group of Master Gardeners, the garden is the crown jewel of the extension center. We learned so much from each other; the garden is beautiful and inspiring to everyone who sees it. All food harvested goes to local food banks. I look forward to volunteering there again.

One day's harvest to be donated. A real sense of community is felt in the Demonstration Garden, growing all-organic produce. The garden is the result of many volunteers putting in a lot of hard work!
In late October, we graduated. I'm proud of the hard work, cherishing the camaraderie I found in my fellow Master Gardeners.
Master Gardeners have varied garden interests, and are trained to help others with things plant-related. With gardening one can never know everything – there's always something new to learn and share. I might not know the answer immediately, but I know how to find the correct one. In 2009, there were 95,000 active Master Gardeners nationwide. Got a plant-related question? Call your local Extension and speak to a Master Gardener. They've worked hard to be able to help!
Wishing you a Happy New Year (and happy seed-catalog browsing – 'tis the season to find them in our mailboxes)!

Q: Router, switch configuration in linux Can someone suggest a good book for router and switch configuration in linux. I also want to configure dhcp, dns and other stuff.
Regards
Bala

A: firewall distribution solutions (very recomended, if you do not have much experience...):
http://www.endian.com and IPCOP firewall (http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/ipcop/wiki)

A: Do you mean you are looking for firewall software for Linux?
Vuurmuur is my favourite for that:
https://www.vuurmuur.org/trac/
It has a easy to use curses interface and a bunch of features that would be needed for a firewall. But that's it, it does not do DNS/DHCP, etc... that you need to do the regular way.
I ran it for years on a few of my servers before switching to PFSense.

A children's hospital in Northeast D.C. is being impacted by an outbreak of norovirus, the hospital announced.
The HSC Pediatric Center alerted D.C. health officials that three patients tested positive for the contagious virus this week. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says an outbreak of norovirus is defined as an occurrence of two or more similar instances resulting from a common exposure.
The D.C. Department of Health is running their own lab reports to confirm the outbreak.
"The hospital has implemented protocols to manage the spread of infection based on Centers for Disease Control guidelines," an HSC Health Care System spokeswoman said. Visitor restrictions are in effect at the hospital.
HSC Pediatric Center is a children's specialty hosptial that serves children from infancy to age 21.
Editor's note: This article has been updated with the hospital's information.

The 2021 Physician Fee Schedule is Finalized - Here are the Highlights
December 09, 2020 By: Quadax
New rule decreases payment conversion factor; increases telehealth expansion, E/M services
Before we dive into the finalized fee schedule, it's important to understand how Medicare pays for physician services and how the relative values of medical services are translated into fee schedule payment amounts.
Basically, the relative value of a procedure multiplied by the number of dollars per Relative Value Unit (RVU) is the fee paid by Medicare for the procedure. The Conversion Factor (CF) is the number of dollars assigned to an RVU. It is calculated using a complex formula that takes into account the overall state of the economy of the United States, the number of Medicare beneficiaries, the amount of money spent in prior years, and changes in the regulations governing covered services.
A decrease in the conversion factor in 2021
In the 2021 rule, CMS finalized a conversion factor of $32.41, which is a decrease of $3.68 compared to the previous year's conversion factor.
The decrease stems from the statutory requirement that the Physician Fee Schedule remains budget neutral in the event revisions to the relative value units (RVUs) that determine physician reimbursement result in changes of more than $20 million.
In 2021, the Physician Fee Schedule is slated to experience expenditures changes of this magnitude because of revisions to the RVUs for evaluation and management (E/M) services, CMS explained.
Increases for common office/outpatient E/M services
The agency finalized increases in RVUs for common office/outpatient E/M services, including maternity care bundles, emergency department visits, end-stage renal disease capitated payment bundles, and physical and occupational therapy evaluation services.
These increases are meant to support primary care clinicians who are facing a growing number of Medicare beneficiaries, including many with one or more chronic conditions. CMS also believes the final rule will aid other clinicians by reducing the E/M documentation burden through a more streamlined reporting process for E/M levels.
Increases for telehealth benefits
The agency also finalized a new category of telehealth benefits under the Physician Fee Schedule. The new Category 3 list will include telehealth services covered by Medicare during the public health emergency and through the calendar year in which the emergency declaration expires.
So far, the Category 3 list includes services like home visits for established patients, emergency department visits levels one through five, hospital discharge day management, critical care services, and nursing facility discharge day management.
However, CMS walked back the proposed frequency limitation for subsequent nursing facility visits furnished via telehealth from one visit every three days to one visit every 14 days.
The agency also clarified in the final rule that licensed clinical social workers, clinical psychologists, physical therapists (PTs), occupational therapists (OTs), and speech-language pathologists (SLPs) can deliver brief online assessment and management services, as well as virtual check-ins and remote evaluation services. The final rule includes two new codes to support billing for telehealth services delivered by the providers.
Additionally, CMS created a new code for audio-only telephone services based on support from industry stakeholders who have leveraged telephonic care during the pandemic. The code accounts for 11 to 20 minutes of medical discussion to determine the necessity of an in-person visit.
Providers are criticizing new RVUs for certain E/M services
"Unfortunately, the newly adopted office visit payment rates, and other payment increases finalized in today's rule, are required by statute to be offset by payment reductions to other medical services covered by Medicare," Susan R. Bailey, MD, President of the American Medical Association (AMA) said in a statement.
"This will result in a shocking reduction of 10.2% [percent] to Medicare payment rates in the midst of the worsening COVID-19 pandemic while physicians are continuing to care for record numbers of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and trying to keep the lights on in their practices. These cuts will hurt all Medicare patients, particularly those seeking care for COVID-19 critical care and hospital visits that will be reduced dramatically," Bailey stated.
The cuts are especially troubling for providers fighting COVID-19, according to Anders Gilberg, senior vice president of government affairs at the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA).
"While MGMA is appreciative of streamlined documentation policies and payment increases to physicians that primarily deliver office/outpatient E/M services, the 10% decrease to the conversion factor and resulting reimbursement cuts to many specialties is deeply troubling during a time when COVID-19 cases are skyrocketing and practices are scrambling to stay financially viable," Gilberg said in an emailed statement. "We are disappointed that CMS decided to not provide the stability that physician practices require to meet patient needs during this unprecedented public health emergency."
Some providers, including the AMA, are now requesting Congress to intervene by postponing or preventing payment reductions stemming from E/M payment changes in the final rule.

Biografia
Era figlio di William Paget, uno dei dignitari della city of London. Studiò alla St. Paul's School quando era preside William Lily per passare poi alla Trinity Hall di Cambridge perfezionandosi poi all'Università di Parigi. Alla scuola di St. Paul's fece amicizia con il futuro antiquario John Leland e poi fu uno dei suoi benefattori.

Fu membro del Parlamento britannico per Lichfield nel 1529 e per Middlesex nel 1545.

Probabilmente attraverso l'influenza di Stephen Gardiner, che aveva presto fatto amicizia con Paget, fu inviato, da re Enrico VIII in diverse importanti missioni diplomatiche; nel 1532 fu nominato Clerk of the Signet e subito dopo componente del Consiglio privato della Corona. Divenne segretario di Anna di Clèves nel 1539 e nel 1543 nominato segretario di Stato, posizione sulla quale Enrico VIII, nei suoi ultimi anni di regno, contava molto per le decisioni da prendere, nominandolo uno dei consiglieri della Corona durante la minore età del futuro re Edoardo VI.

Paget in un primo momento sostenne con vigore il Lord protettore Somerset, consigliandogli una moderazione che Somerset non sempre osservava. Nel 1547 fu nominato sovrintendente della casa del re, Cancelliere del Ducato di Lancaster, eletto cavaliere della Contea per lo Staffordshire e insignito dell'Ordine della Giarrettiera. Nel 1549 fu chiamato alla House of Lords come Baron Paget de Beaudesert. All'incirca nello stesso periodo ottenne ampie concessioni di terre, tra cui Cannock Chase e l'Abbazia di Burton nello Staffordshire, e a Londra la residenza dei Vescovo di Exeter, conosciuta successivamente come Lincoln House e Essex House, sul luogo ora occupato dall'Outer Temple nello Strand. Ottenne anche Beaudesert House nello Staffordshire, che rimase la sede principale della famiglia Paget.

Paget condivise la caduta in disgrazia di Somerset, fu imprigionato nella Torre di Londra nel 1551 e degradato da cavaliere dell'Ordine della Giarrettiera l'anno successivo, oltre a subire una pesante multa da parte della Star Chamber per aver fatto pagare alla Corona le spese di amministrazione del ducato di Lancaster. Rientrò poi nelle grazie del re nel 1553, e fu uno dei ventisei Pari che firmarono per l'insediamento, al posto di Edoardo, di Lady Jane Grey nel giugno dello stesso anno. Si riappacificò con la regina Maria I, che lo reintegrò come cavaliere dell'Ordine della Giarrettiera e nel Privy Council nel 1553, e lo nominò Lord del sigillo privato nel 1556. Con la salita al trono della regina Elisabetta I nel 1558, Paget si ritirò dalla vita pubblica.

Discendenti
Da sua moglie Anne Preston, Paget ebbe quattro figli, Henry, Thomas, Charles e Edward (morto da giovane), e sei figlie, Etheldreda, che sposò Sir Christopher Allen; Eleanor, che sposò prima, Jerome Palmer, scudiero, e poi, Sir Rowland Clarke; Grisold, che sposò prima Sir Thomas Rivett, e poi Sir William Waldegrave; Joan (o Jane), che sposò Sir Thomas Kitson; Dorothy, che sposò Sir Thomas Willoughby (m.1559); e Anne (m.1590), che sposò Sir Henry Lee.

I due figli maggiori, Henry e Thomas, gli succedettero nel titolo. Il figlio giovane, Charles Paget, fu un noto cospiratore cattolico durante il regno di Elisabetta I.
