EEOICPA Covered Facilities: Speedring Systems, Inc.
The EEOICPA was passed in 2000. It provides compensation to workers who became ill as a result of their employment manufacturing nuclear weapons in the USA, as well as their spouses, children, and grandchildren. Speedring Systems, Inc. EEOICPA coverage is available for qualified former Workers and their families.
Are you eligible for compensation? If you or a family member worked at this or another BE facility and became ill, you may be entitled to compensation of up to $150K plus medical benefits. Call EEOICPA Counsel Hugh Stephens at 1-855-548-4494 or fill out our free claim evaluation, We can help even if you've already filed, even if your claim was denied!
Speedring Systems, Inc.
Also Known As: Axsys Technologies
Time Period: 1963; 1968; 1973-1975; 1992
Facility Type: Beryllium Vendor
Facility Description: Speedring machined beryllium-containing parts for Rocky Flats and Y-12. The Detroit Speedring office designation covers both of the locations to which the Detroit forwarding office sent work, including their locations in Warren, MI and Rochester Hills, MI. There is a separate Speedring facility in Culman, Alabama.
*DISCUSSION:
Nothing of significance was found in the Beryllium Vendor files. There was a brief mention of the 1968 AEC work in the AWE files; however, nothing was found about the 1963 date. There was no DOE elimination report and no documentation of decontamination activities or where in the facility the beryllium work for the AEC was conducted.
Telephone contact with current company (Axsys Technologies) officials and a former employee provided the following information: Warren facility–(1) the facility still exists– Axsys sold the facility in 1975 and the owner has leased it to two different occupants since then; (2) there is no information about beryllium decontamination between 1964 and 1968 and between 1969 and 1973; (3) there was cleanup performed when the facility was sold in 1975; and (4) AEC/DOE beryllium work was conducted in the same area as work for other clients.
Rochester Hills facility–(1) the facility still exists; and (2) the work (1992) probably involved polishing activities and would have been conducted in a well controlled area, where similar work was/is done for other clients.
The documentation reviewed and information provided by current company officials and a former worker indicate that no record of beryllium decontamination could be found for all of the non-covered time periods. Therefore it is assumed that the potential for residual contamination continues to exist.
Speedring Systems, Inc. is listed as a Beryllium Vendor (BE) under the EEOICPA.
As of 05/17/2015, the total compensation paid under Part B of the EEOICPA, including medical compensation, for workers suffering from the effects of having worked at Speedring Systems, Inc. is $172,679.

How Is Payback Period Calculated
Posted on January 21, 2021 By John In Uncategorized
When choosing between various investments, it is necessary to compare them. Whether it is investors or companies, they will face such decisions. There are several aspects of each project they must consider. Similarly, they can use different tools to consider those aspects. One such tool that is prevalent in investing decisions is the payback period.
What is the Payback Period?
How is the Payback Period calculated?
The payback period of an investment refers to how long it takes to recover the initial investment. It is a part of the capital budgeting process of most companies. Unlike most other techniques, the payback period focuses on the timing of cash flows rather than the profitability. Based on this tool, companies select projects with the shortest payback period.
Companies can use the payback period on its own or comparatively. For single projects, companies choose projects having a payback period shorter than a predetermined period. On the other hand, for comparative decision-making, they choose a project with the lowest payback period. Therefore, it allows for straightforward decision-making.

How to Calculate Net Present Value
Formula for Profitability Index
Using the payback period to evaluate a project has several benefits. It is relatively simple and straightforward to understand. Similarly, it favours quick returns. For companies that prefer earlier cash flows, the payback period may be the primary tool for evaluating projects.
The calculation of a project's payback period depends on its cash flows. For projects with constant cash flows throughout their lifetime, companies can use the following payback period formula.
Payback Period = Initial Investment / Periodic Cash Flow
The above formula will return the number of periods it will take for companies to recover their cash flows from a project. Usually, companies use the annual cash flows for a project. Therefore, it will return the number of years it will take for a project to recover its value.
For projects that don't have a constant periodic cash flow, the calculation becomes more complicated. In that case, companies must deduct the periodic cash flows from the initial investment one by one. The payback period becomes the period when the cumulative cash flows from a project turn positive.
A company, Green Co., wants to invest in a project. The initial investment requirement is $100,000. The company expects the project to continue for five years. During these years, Green Co. expects the following cash flows.
The project's cash flows are not constant over the years. Therefore, Green Co. must calculate when the cumulative cash flows turn positive. The calculation is as follows.
Cumulative Cash flows
Since the cash flows turn positive in the 4th year of the project, the project's payback period will be 3-4 years. More accurately, the project will take 3.5 years (3 years + [$10,000 / $20,000]) or 3 years and 6 months to recover. Therefore, that will be its payback period.
The payback period is a technique used to evaluate projects. A project's payback period represents the time it takes to recover its initial investment. It favours the timing of cash flows rather than profitability, which is crucial for several companies or businesses.

The reasons for one to sell their house varies from one person to another. However, the main aim is usually to get quick cash. Experts will advise you to sell your house to a real estate firm. Here are the advantages of settling for a real estate company to sell your house to.
You will not have to undertake any repairs if you choose to sell your house to a real estate firm. Repairs will make you part with a lot of cash. In the process, you will not be in a position to sell your house as you wanted in the past. This will make you take long before even getting a potential client. On the other hand, a real estate firm does not mind if the house has been repaired or not. You will get good money for the house. As a result, you will actually realize that this is a good offer.
You will get the whole sum of money for the house immediately after sealing the deal. It will be hard for you to get a client that will give you the whole sum of money for the house. This will make them ask if they can pay in installments. In the process, if you wanted to use the money for a certain project, you will have to postpone. On the other hand, a real estate firm has money to buy the house for cash. This will ensure that you can now easily go on with your project.
A real estate firm will make sure that you do not spend a lot of money in order to seal the deal. In order to seal the house selling deal, you will need to hire some professionals. These professionals are quite costly. The hiring of these experts will be your obligation. You will not have to worry about paying professionals if you opt to sell the premise to a real estate company. You will realize that real estate firms have all these professionals. In the process, you will not have to sue this money.
When you choose to sell the house to a real estate company, you will get to avoid court cases. This is because sole clients are likely going to fail to make the payment. This will make you want to get the payment. You will be greatly inconvenienced. In the process, such matters will not affect you if you settle for a real estate firm. You will have already got the entire money for the house.


Friends, let's catch up for a hot second. Life for the last month has been happening just about everywhere except for my kitchen. I released my first book! You can get your copy of Meal Prep Workbook on the site's shop tab. The tools inside have been coming in clutch with my lifestyle as of late. Having functional foods prepared and ready to roll throughout the week as I run between classrooms, work, and the mountains has been a huge help.
So, my MNT program is in full swing, meaning my brain is locked into biochemistry and anatomy & physiology most hours of the day. I'm thriving studying what I'm passionate about. I adore my job downtown at non-toxic store too. When not thinking about the structure and function of the human body or rattling off facts about endocrine disruptors to customers, I've been outdoors. A lot of wonderful new people have come into my life since moving to Colorado and both my brother and best friend visited me this past month. Spending time with these people out in the sunshine and up in the mountains has offered a restorative type of wellness that truly can't be mimicked.
As I figure out the balance of this new chapter in my life, we're also on the cusp on seasons. The first day of spring just passed and I'm looking to start a garden on the porch of my apartment. Produce has been slim pickings and nothing has been local for the last few weeks. In the winter I don't eat much raw food as our bodies need that energy for warmth and restoration. As it gets warmer, bring on the lettuce and seasonal fruit. Citrus and lettuces like romaine and butter have been March staples. This recipe shares how to make these ingredients into a meal with the addition of homemade coconut yogurt.
I make coconut yogurt year-round and it has been one of the most popular recipes on this site. It serves as the base for this salad's dressing. The fermented food offers a bit of tang and a lot of creaminess that is cut perfectly with the juice of fresh lime.
Use a medium bowl to mix the ingredients for the lime coconut dressing. Wash, dry, and chop romaine lettuce before adding to this same bowl.
Add roasted vegetables of choice and chicken from your weekly meal prep provisions, toss with lettuce and dressing. Peel and chop blood orange, sprinkle with sprouted nuts and seeds.

Saint Laurent has announced their Fall 2020 collection with a bold new film. The David Sims-directed campaign, which showcases designs from creative director Anthony Vaccarello, uses a monochrome colour palette and impressionistic lighting to provide a sleek and stylish platform for the new season.
We licensed the track 'Shut Me Down' by Rowland S. Howard for the film. The Australian artist made his name as the guitarist of the Nick Cave-fronted post-punk band The Birthday Party, and his brooding Americana piece lends a powerful gravitas to the black-and-white edit. As model and singer Rosé's silhouette comes into full view at the climax, swirling strings and Howard's booming voice provide a dynamic crescendo.

The Coyotes were conservative shoppers when NHL free agency opened Saturday.
The Coyotes were conservative shoppers when NHL free agency opened Saturday, sticking to a script that had them wanting to figure out what the price tag for doing business during the summer signing period would be before cashing out.
This approach didn't leave them empty-handed, as Arizona signed a defenseman in Adam Clendening, who could be a top-six possibility on the right side, and also brought in a handful of depth options. But it did seem to affect the team's ability to re-sign winger Radim Vrbata, whose decision to join the Panthers adds more uncertainty to a position that was already thin.
Vrbata led the Coyotes in goals (20), assists (35) and points (55) in 2016-17, his third stint with the organization after signing a one-year, bonus-laden contract to return last summer. Chayka said the team had interest in keeping the 36-year-old, and Vrbata was open to staying even amid an overhaul that currently has the team without a head coach. But Vrbata said the Coyotes never tabled an offer and didn't get into details.
Once the season ended, Vrbata thought "100 percent" he'd be back with the team. When goalie Mike Smith was traded and the team cut ties with former captain Shane Doan and coach Dave Tippett, however, he realized he might not return.
Eight teams inquired about Vrbata, his agent Rich Evans said, with Florida expressing the most interest from the get-go, and Vrbata felt he had to sign quickly rather than wait until August like he did last year. He ended up signing a one-year, $2.5 million contract that includes up to an additional $1.25 million in bonuses.
Although he's excited to become a Panther, Vrbata feels "mixed emotions." He plans to assess his career year-by-year but acknowledged his playing days with the Coyotes are probably over.
Arizona would still like to improve the right wing but feels there's opportunity to bolster the position via the trade market, free agency and internally. Only one player who has regularly played that position for the Coyotes before (Tobias Rieder) is under contract for next season.
Nick Cousins, a restricted free agent whom the Coyotes signed to a two-year, $2 million contract Saturday after acquiring him in a trade with the Flyers last month, could play right wing but is also a center. Talks are also ongoing with the team's other RFAs – forwards Anthony Duclair, Jordan Martinook and Tyler Gaudet and goalie Marek Langhamer.
The Coyotes did add another right shot to their defense in Clendening, a 24-year-old Chayka hyped as a possession driver who can transition the puck to the offensive zone. He signed a one-year, $650,000 deal.
Clendening has bounced around, with this the sixth organization he's represented; most recently, he logged 31 games for the Rangers last season, chipping in two goals and 11 points.
It'll be up to Clendening to determine where he plays, Chayka said, but his arrival gives the team flexibility, as it has enough players now slotted on the right that it wouldn't need to slide lefty Alex Goligoski over, although that remains a possibility.
"It's a chance for me to maybe get an opportunity every night and kind of really get my foot in the door in the league," Clendening said.
Arizona also signed forwards Zac Rinaldo and Michael Sislo and defenseman Joel Hanley to one-year, two-way contracts, while defenseman Andrew Campbell received a two-year, two-way deal.
Elsewhere around the league, former Coyotes center Martin Hanzal accepted a three-year, $14.25 million contract from the Stars.
Chayka said he had "good communication" with Kevin Shattenkirk's reps, but the defenseman landed with the Rangers on a four-year, $26.6 million deal. And Doan did not sign anywhere, which wasn't surprising since his camp expected to take its time in free agency.
The Coyotes also don't seem to be in a rush to make any more moves, even though it looks like they still could use some help up top after Vrbata's departure.
