Issues Running Experiment in Open Sesame
Hi there,
I am looking for some help with an issue running an experiment that was built on Open Sesame(3.2.5) on a newer version of Open Sesame (3.2.8).
We are using a Mac Mini running OS El Capitan and an EyeLink eye tracker. Open Sesame is the most up to date version (3.2.8). I am trying to run an open sesame experiment that was created in version 3.2.5. The experiment will run the instruction section, but after this the experiment crashes and ends itself before reaching the practice and testing stages and prints out this error:
Imageio: 'ffmpeg-osx-v3.2.4' was not found on your computer; downloading it now.
Error while fetching file: <urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:726)>.
The program also tells me, in a later message, that it:
Failed to read .xlsx file: /var/folders/cb/nj7_6t9x7lb6tx5d9l_tl_cm0000gn/T/tmpP2xOHx.opensesame_pool/practice_list.xlsx
I was wondering if anyone could help clear this up for me! Thanks!
Hi Cayley,
The first message, about ffmpeg, reflects that OpenSesame fails to download the software that is necessary for running video files. That's probably harmless in your case.
The second message, about not being able to read the
.xlsxfile, probably reflects that the
openpyxllibrary is not installed, due to a packaging issue on Mac OS. You can see how to fix that in this discussion:

A 1001 Midnights Review: HORACE McCOY – Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye.Posted by Steve under 1001 Midnights , Reviews
[3] Comments
by Max Allan Collins
HORACE McCOY – Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye. Random House, hardcover, 1948. Paperback reprints include: Signet 754, 1949; Avon, 1965. Film: Warner Brothers, 1950 (with James Cagney, Barbara Payton & Helena Carter).
Although a veteran of Black Mask, Horace McCoy resented his "hardboiled" classification, considering himself mainstream, and wrote only one genuine crime novel. Set in the Thirties during the Dillinger days, Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye is one of the finest gangster novels ever written.
Young hoodlum Ralph Cotter (an alias) escapes from a prison farm, killing one of his own confederates in thee process, a characteristically misanthropic move for this self-described possessor of a "psychopathic superego." Helping in the jailbreak is the murdered confederate's sister, Holiday, with whom Cotter immediately shacks up.
Now in a medium-size, nameless city, Cotter pulls a petty robbery, again killing a man in the process. He and his aptly named associate, Jinx, are thereafter shaken down by local corrupt police. This is an opportunity the shrewd, college-educated Cotter seizes upon, launching a scheme to blackmail the police into aiding and abetting his future crimes.
His rocky relationship with Holiday — a jealous girl who nonetheless sleeps around indiscriminately on Cotter — alternates with an even stranger relationship with a spoiled society girl who has suicidal tendencies and an interest in the occult. Cotter links up with Cherokee Mandon, a slick shyster with underworld connections, and soon Cotter and his various cronies (including Mandon and the corrupt cops) are planning a reckless robbery that will require taking four lives.
The fascination of Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye is its stream-of-consciousness first-person narration, and its exceptionally well-realized psychotic narrator. Unlike the simplified Cotter of the James Cagney screen version (1950), McCoy's protagonist is a complex, not exactly sympathetic character, but certainly an engaging one. (Cotter prefigures similarly psychotic — and posturing — narrators in the work of Jim Thompson.)
A violent deed in his past, tied to his adolescent sexual awakening, has sent Cotter into a world of crime where he feels at home. Nonetheless, it is contact with the respectable world, not the criminal one, that leads to his downfall, This is the central irony of a book that McCoy clearly intended to be his masterpiece.
Critics have seldom agreed with McCoy's estimation of Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye, but the critics have underestimated this work. Cotter is a deeply flawed, pretentious narrator — which has led to the writer being dismissed as deeply flawed and pretentious. Taking Cotter at face value, at his word, is dangerous; critics have tended to assume that McCoy agrees with Cotter, who says archly, "Use me not as a preachment in your literature or movies. This I have wrought, I and I alone."
McCoy, of course, does not believe that Cotter is a man in control of his destiny: Cotter is a pitiful, guilt-ridden soul misshapen by childhood trauma. Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye is a long book, but it is fast moving, deftly plotted and vividly written.

Editorial Comment: Following my review of Never Say No to a Killer, by Jonathan Gant (Clifton Adams), Dan Stumpf left a comment pointing out some similarity between that book and this one, which came earlier. I'd have to agree that Gant's book may easily have been inspired by this one — no more than that — but you may go back and read that review, then come back and read this one, and decide for yourself.

I would agree that McCoy is almost too successful here that many critics confused the authorial voice and the protagonists voice. I'm not sure they were quite ready for a narrator as unreliable as Cotter is.
I'm not sure if it is his best novel, but it is certainly an exceptional one. I don't recall putting it down often when I was reading it.
The film is good too, but Cagney's age and the relative simplicity of screen storytelling make it impossible to really recreate the book, and finding a young actor with the chops to carry the role off might have proved challenging in itself.
The film is quite good though, but in some ways more a companion to WHITE HEAT than an adaptation of the novel. It's a tribute to Cagney and the filmmakers though that his Cotter is, in his own way, nearly as compelling as the figure in the book if nowhere near as complex.

I think I mentioned the similarity of the Gant novel to this one in my column, too. It's the opening that suggests it, mainly. Anyway, I agree with Collins about the book. I still remember picking up the Avon paperback back around 1966 and being blown away by it.

You're quite right, Bill. You were there first, and I quote:
" [Gant's book] seems to have been influenced by Horace McCoy's Kiss Tomorrow Good-Bye, as it's narrated by an intellectual killer and begins with an escape from a prison work gang. Roy Surratt deludes himself in much the same way that Joe Hooper and Roy Foley do, though he's well aware that he's far from the innocent they think themselves to be before they begin their crime sprees."

Concentrations of selected chemical elements in organs and tissues of polar bears (Ursus maritimus) from East Greenland
Master thesis

- Institutt for biologi [1591]
Polar bears from Greenland are exposed to various chemical contaminants e.g. POPs and chemical elements, which are ingested by feeding on contaminated marine mammals, e.g. ringed seals. This study analyses the concentration of selenium, cadmium, mercury, lead, zinc and arsenic in muscles, kidney, liver and other tissues in both polar bears and ringed seals from East Greenland sampled in 2011 and 2012. Also, significant correlations between elements are in all tissues is reported, as well as the degree of exposure of the native Inuit people to these elements through the consumption of liver and meat from both the bears and seals.
