In this podcast I examine a recent BBC article titled “What is the plan for digital IDs and will they be mandatory?”.  I  look at what “digital ID” means in a UK context, what the government is planning, whether it will be mandatory (and if so when), and what the implications are for privacy, personal freedom and everyday life.

土用（どよう）："土用（どよう）" strictly refers to the 18 days before the first days of spring, summer, fall, and winter (on the lunar calendar). Today, however, "土用（どよう）" generally refers only to the 18 days before the first day of fall.

丑（うし）の日（ひ）：The day called "丑（うし）の日（ひ）", which is translated literally as the day of the Ox, can be seen in the calendar that follows the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac. The twelve signs were introduced to Japan from ancient China. The twelve signs were allocated one by one to the days on the calendar. "丑（うし）の日（ひ）" is the day to which the second sign of the twelve signs is allocated. 

立春（りっしゅん）：the first day of spring
立夏（りっか）：the first day of summer
立秋（りっしゅう）：the first day of fall
立冬（りっとう）：the first day of winter

つまり：in other words
