Petanque is an international sport from France, with opposing teams rolling or throwing metal balls at a wooden target-ball. Related to Italian Bocce ball, Petanque has an ancient, fascinating history, provides many mental and physical benefits, and is quick and easy to learn. It is gentle on the body--requiring finesse, cooperative team strategizing, and brains-- not brawn. It is a game of concentration, coordination, camaraderie, and FUN. Come learn to play this quintessential part of French and world culture. A short video about Pétanque: https://youtu.be/YXUkofUi-ps

Colonel Saul will present a short history of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, which consisted of volunteers who formed the segregated Japanese-American army combat unit. Over 12,000 Nisei (second-generation Japanese American) volunteers answered the call. 2,686 from Hawaii and 1,500 from mainland U.S. internment camps assembled at Camp Shelby, Mississippi, in 1943 for a year of infantry training. Many soldiers from the continental U.S. had families in internment camps in the USA while they fought abroad. The 442nd fought in some of the fiercest battles of WW II and became the highest decorated unit in the war. The unit's motto was "Go for Broke."

We trust our visual systems to provide reliable information about the world around us (“seeing is believing”) and generally believe we are aware of what is going on around us. Despite that trust, there are numerous instances where there is a mismatch between what we perceive and what is out there (e.g., illusions). Some perception researchers and philosophers have gone as far as to argue that we live in a grand illusion. What do they mean? Why would they suggest this? We explore these, and other issues associated with the relationship between our visual system, attention, perception, and conscious awareness.
