What does it cost for US mother to give birth in UK?

Is the US mother legally entitled to live in the UK? If so, it is free (though the term 'free' is used loosely as any resident of the UK who is actually working pays into the health system, kind of like insurance). If she is not legally entitled to live in the UK, there should be a charge and rightly so as it costs the system on average of £41,000 for a normal full term birth (2006 figures). Longer stays, premature births etc obviously cost much more so someone who comes to the UK solely to have a baby on the NHS and doesn't have a right to its health care system should be charged 'something', whether it be through their US health insurance or from own pocket. Someone's entitlement to free NHS treatment depends on the length and purpose of your residence in the UK, not your nationality. Staff at the hospital should ask for your National Insurance number and you may be asked to provide documents, for example a passport, to show that you are in the UK legally. If it is not clear whether you are entitled to free treatment, you will be interviewed more fully. Documentation and a medical opinion may be required. (Source: http://www.adviceguide.org.uk)

Is graffiti defined as vandalism in Scottish law?

Graffiti is considered Vandalism or destruction to property. Prime Minister Blair has put it into the deviate behavior law.

Graffiti is illegal art and it's everywhere in 21st Century Britain - on park benches and street signs, bus shelters and phone boxes, in car parks and train stations. Councils spend millions of pounds cleaning up after graffiti vandals and Tony Blair has lumped graffiti with drugs and mindless violence as "bad symptoms" of modern society. In a hard hitting speech at last week's Urban Summit, Mr Blair announced plans to ban the sale of spray paints to under-18s.

Paint becomes "Art" when it is commissioned or purchased. Paint when used to make a statement is nothing more than "Paint". The real issues at hand is how the paint affects our environment. Graffiti, when it is in line of site from our homes, reduces our property value by as much as 20%. There is an 80% chance customers will not return our places of business because of the Graffiti. Painting over Graffiti with an attempted paint match, actually does as much damage as the original graffiti. The Ghetto Quit Effect comes into play. The Ghetto Quilt Effect is created using the poorly matched colors to hide the graffiti. The fear of gang activity is still felt. We all make our judgments and conclusions based on our gathered knowledge and personal experiences. I think it is fair to say we all have watched the news in fear, as the death toll rises in school altercations. The fear factor of gun wielding, angry youths is a fact in our lives. Graffiti may have been innocently used to rebuke those in power long ago. Today gangs are putting hidden codes in their graffiti, telling what they are selling and where to go to get it. We as a community need to be aware of which gangs are in our communities and where our children are buying their goods. Mind blowing detail, and breathtaking use of color, is still judged by the intent of the "Painter". Knowledge of the painter and the intent of the work, are what can help determine if it is Art, or Vandalism!

Is Nessie a boy or a girl?

Nessie is neither a boy or a girl because there is no scientific evidence that Nessie even exists. Most believers in Nessie seem to think that it is some form of prehistoric aquatic dinosaur. However Loch Ness was buried under a mile of ice during the last Ice Age, which only ended ten thousand years ago, and there have been several other Ice Ages since the extinction of the dinosaurs so this seems incredibly unlikely.

The name "nessie" signifies that it is female.
