Aside

With regard to the first image below, showing PM Netanyahu grinning. Among the hunting fraternity in my home state of Wyoming, the wall behind him is called "a head wall" for obvious reasons. Most WY heads are game animals, but the concept is identical - displaying hunting trophies.

When we built our present home 24 years ago, the project boss asked us if we wanted a wall in the living room reinforced with 3/4" plywood beneath the sheetrock. I asked why and was told for a head wall. 

After getting a definition, we declined with thanks. I don't suppose he was surprised, a couple of retired college profs aren't exactly the modal homeowners here or indeed most places.
