Lewis's spokesman said the singer had been signing autographs for around 90 minutes when &quot;a guy came up and punched her to the side of the head&quot;.



The spokesman added that Lewis was &quot;understandably badly shaken&quot;.

But on closer inspection an eerie face is depicted in the melting ice wall that appears to be crying a river of tears.



The forlorn-looking 'Mother Nature' figure appeared to locals during a thaw, with the melting ice and snow falling towards the sea below.

A new bra boosts women's cleavage when they are aroused.



Slovenia-based Lisca lingerie's Smart Memory Bra alters its shape when the wearer's body temperature changes, pushing breasts closer together when a woman gets flushed after seeing someone attractive.



Designer Suzana Gorisek said: &quot;As a woman's body changes, so the size of the bra changes. That's the advantage of this bra.&quot;



As soon as the wearer's temperature decreases the bra deflates.

    Culp, an Ohio mother of two, lost the mid-portion of her face after a gunshot wound in September 2004.



    Without her nose, she could not smell. She breathed through a tracheostomy -- a surgical opening in her neck. Without lips, she could barely speak.
