XORing different constants into the four s-boxes in such a cipher has exactly the same effect as XORing a single constant into each round function output.
There are weak keys in the sense that their use by foisting chosen plaintexts can be proved, which could be interesting for chip cards with a ‘burnt-in key’. First of all, however, these keys can be easily avoided—one only needs to XOR all subkeys with the hexadecimal number 0x0dae—and second, the probability that such a key can be caught is 2⁻⁹⁶; that is about one out of 10²⁹ randomly selected keys (this number even has a name: 100 quadrilliards).

2014, Robert E. Blankenship, Molecular Mechanisms of Photosynthesis, Wiley Blackwell, 2nd Edition, page 226,
Evidence is now overwhelming that several groups of eukaryotic algae originated from a secondary endosymbiosis, in which a eukaryotic alga was incorporated into a second host (Palmer and Delwiche, 1996; Delwiche and Palmer, 1997; Delwiche, 1999; Keeling, 2010, 2013; Curtis et al., 2012).
The second chapter (by David Smith) describes the primary endosymbiosis as an introduction for secondary endosymbioses. He illustrates the origin of primary endosymbiosis, plastid genome evolution, and loss of photosynthesis in some lineages of Archaeplastida.

Walkways and handrails were also upgraded during the work, to improve safety for maintenance staff.
The funding will allow state and city officials to devise a community-driven plan to cap parts of the 6.5-mile expressway with structures that could reduce traffic noise and contain green space, pedestrian walkways and air filtration systems.
For now, the walkway will remain bare, although there are plans for it to be used to exhibit art and relics.

So, strict hypothecation is only advisable when the tax pays entirely and only for that spending programme […]
Either way, effectively the government is simply using the hypothecated tax as part of general revenue, and the hypothecation is a sham.
Local authorities have linked the scheme to broader climate ambitions. Indeed, some of the funding for the stations has come from hypothecation of monies received through Birmingham's Clean Air Zone charges.
