Abstract: Color developing compositions for photoprocessing of color photographic materials are stabilized by stabilizing composition that consists essentially of a polyphosphonic acid such as a cyclicaminomethanediphosphonic acid (or salt thereof) and at least 0.01 ppm of manganese ions.

Abstract: Color developing compositions for photoprocessing of color photographic materials are stabilized by the presence of an organic antioxidant and a stabilizing compounds having the following Structure (I): [(R1)(R2)N]m-L-[SO3?M+]n ??(I) wherein R1 and R2 are independently hydrogen or a monovalent aliphatic, heterocyclic, or aromatic group, or R1 and R2 are taken together with the nitrogen to which they are attached to form a substituted or unsubstituted 5- to 6-membered heterocyclic ring, m is 0 or 1 such that when m is 0, L is an alkyl or aryl group and when m is 1, L is an alkylene or arylene linking group, M+ is a suitable cation to provide a salt, and n is 1, 2, or 3.

Abstract: Photographic processing of color photographic materials can be carried out using polyphosphonic acids or salts thereof in acidic “stop” solutions or wash solutions after color development. When used in acidic stop solutions, the polyphosphonic acid is preferably carried over into the bleaching solution to provide added stability of the bleaching agent. The acidic stop solutions can also include organic thiols that are used as bleaching accelerators when carried over into the bleaching solutions.

Abstract: An indoor golf hole having a canister adjustably supporting a golf cup. The canister is engageable by use of a collar for supporting it to a subflooring in a room. A thread engagement between the collar and canister can provide means for vertically adjusting the height of the canister to accommodate different carpeting thicknesses. Alternately, interior adjustment mechanism may be provided within the canister to independently adjust the golf cup elevation. In other forms of the invention, the canister may be provided to be inserted within a cored hole in a poured concrete floor and embedded in hydraulic cement. In the concrete floor installation modes, the golf cup is supported and adjustable by means of a movable disk thread-adjustably supported within the canister for adjusting the height of the golf cup relative thereto. The canister may have a thread-engageable double-walled construction, or alternatively a cap with a threaded boss for thread-engaging a machine-type screw carrying the disk.
