Varusmies - Conscript is an educational film for Finnish nationals, who are about to carry out their military service. More information: http://bit.ly/FDF_conscript Military service includes conscript service, refresher training, extra service and service during mobilisation as well as participation in call-ups and the examination of fitness for service. Call-ups form the first concrete step into military service. The civic duty of military service is defined in the second chapter of the law on conscription (called Conscription Act). This duty affects all Finnish men and begins when a man turns 18. It continues till he reaches the age of 60. This means a man is liable for military service and that he is either in service, in the reserve or in the auxiliary reserve.

The Draft Dilemma - Europe

For downloads and more information visit: http://www.journeyman.tv/?lid=64450 Two decades on from the cold war, European military forces are still coming to terms with reduced peacetime roles. As EU nations abandon military conscription, they face a tough new challenge: recruitment. "We are analysing our target groups, trying to understand what attracts them and get that into our commercials". Sweden suspended conscription in 2010. Since then, as in many other European countries, their military has had to fight for recruits. In Denmark continued conscription is justified by its "leadership training" and "very good salary". The British army argues it offers the same, on a voluntary basis. Yet for those with no previous training, life after service can be very tough. Veteran Gerry explains, "I couldn't find a job because of my damaged legs - so I turned to crime". ORF

WWI 100th Anniversary: From Volunteering to Conscription

Order: Reorder
Duration: 6:15
Updated: 01 Aug 2014

At the beginning of World War I, millions of men across Britain and the Empire volunteered to fight as many feared what might happen if Germany won. The government churned out 12.5 million recruiting posters, in over 160 designs, to reel in volunteers, leading to armies being forged across the world to help Britain in its war effort. Nearly one million Indian men of all religions and castes enlisted to fight Britain's war, while more than one-tenth of Australia's population - 416,000 - enlisted to fight. Furthermore, when Lord Horatio Kitchener, the British military leader given the task of raising an army, called for 100,000 men more men to enlist, nearly 750,000 men volunteered 8 weeks later. However the nature of the war led to huge casualties, on all sides. Of the seven million men who marched off to war in August 1914, one million of them lay dead within a year. In November 1915, Prime Minister Herbert Asquith revealed that conscription would be introduced if more men did not enlist and later, compulsory enlistment came into force. As part of IBTimes TV's special series of videos, looking at the First World War, we spoke to experts at the Imperial War Museum over the evolution in how wars were fought from the frontline and how recruitment in WWI changed the way personnel were drummed up for other wars to come.

Second and third generations of cloud cameras installed on roof of IBM labs used in IBM's solar forecasting technology. The camera designs have come a long way since IBM built the first one. The camera is almost 10x smaller now, and to avoid saturation it uses electronics rather than a mechanical shutter. Because of their compact size, the new cameras can be readily deployed at a solar power plant, where can measure the height of the clouds using triangulation techniques. This in turn helps to improve the forecasts further.
