Somehow, a journalistic investigation led me to one of the pre-trial detention centers. They promised to give me the opportunity to meet with a person involved in a high-profile criminal case. While waiting for a date, I sat in the corridor and witnessed a very strange scene. One of the prisoners walking along the corridor made a sign to the other with his hand, as if shaking dust off his shoulder. I wouldn’t attach any importance to this - maybe the person got dirty somewhere? - but the investigator sitting next to me commented: the number of fingers means how many correctional officers are standing in the corridor, and the left and right shoulders - on which side (Fig. 4, 5, 6). Being aware of everything and telling your prison comrades about it is the first rule in places of detention.
A little later, walking through the exercise yard, I noticed how, in a conversation with the teacher, the convict crossed his fingers (Fig. 2. section “Gestures”).
The investigator accompanying me explained that by doing so the prisoner was giving a signal to his “brothers” that there was a hidden meaning or deception in what was being said. I thought: this is a familiar gesture; children usually use it when they lie to their parents.
Later, my interlocutor showed several more common gestures in the criminal environment, which are widely used, for example, by pickpockets, and “bull” language is also used by counterfeiters, scammers and cheaters. Fingering is also used by “bulls” who steal in public places, trains, train stations, airports, and subways. In fact, every self-respecting authority should speak sign language. And here it is appropriate to note that some gestures familiar from childhood have their own criminal meaning and thus are fraught with danger.
For example, with the help of everyone’s favorite fig (Fig. 18), the criminal “tells” his accomplice that the person needs to be “killed,” or, more simply put, killed. Or “okay” (Fig. 15), meaning that everything is fine with us, “Americans,” in prison - a signal that a person should be “put down” (there is no point in explaining what this is).
A thumb, raised up (Fig. 13), in the zone is not a sign of approval at all, but an order from the boss to the “bulls” to check the newcomer, to perform the so-called “breaking”. Even an ordinary fist has its own criminal significance: if you suddenly see that a passer-by is showing his fist without good reason (Fig. 2), then somewhere nearby his partner is going to “put on the ears” of another victim, that is, he is ready to commit crime. And finally, the famous “fan fingers”, when the index finger and little finger are protruded, and the thumb lies along the palm. So this is nothing more than an insult meaning “goat” (Fig. 5), that is, how about softer? – accusing an opponent of unconventional behavior sexual orientation. But if the thumb is protruded and this figure is applied to the neck (Fig. 8), then the criminal thereby informs his “colleagues” about the danger.
However, let's return to the subjects who trade in theft. They have an open palm facing forward - this is an order to “stand on guard” (Fig. 10). Bent thumb and ring fingers - “clog the tanks,” that is, distract attention (Fig. 3). The bent little finger and thumb indicate that the thief has “burnt himself to death” and has been detained by law enforcement agencies (Fig. 17). The index and middle fingers lowered down - “two on the side”, inform that the police are “on the tail” (Fig. 21). But if one finger is down, and also the index finger, this is a signal that you need to pull it from the back pocket of your trousers (Fig. 22). By the way, counterfeiters and tweezers have signs to indicate the cash itself.
“Crunches” (money) – the thumb is raised up, the ring finger is bent (Fig. 11).
Large amount indicated by a raised thumb and a bent little and ring finger (Fig. 12).
For law-abiding citizens, knowing the “bull speech” at the top is useful, at least in order to avoid becoming a victim of criminals. That's what we wish for everyone!

1. Essays on the criminal subculture - Please
Since ancient times, communication has been carried out not only in the obvious verbal way. When people had not yet developed a speech apparatus, they mastered the method of communication using gestures and signs.
And even now nonverbal communication a lot of attention is paid. Albeit unconsciously, in a conversation people pay attention not only to what they were told, but also to how they were told.
The behavior of the interlocutor also does not go unnoticed. What can I say, many of us still emphasize certain phrases or sentences with certain signs to enhance attention.
For example, one common gesture is sticking out the thumb and little finger. Those who are lucky enough to visit the Hawaiian Islands can often observe this gesture in conjunction with the traditional word “shaka”.
Them representatives of Hawaiian culture greetings, surfers and skydivers. It is easy to do - except for the little finger and thumb, all the rest need to be bent. This gesture carries with it a simple call - relax and take your time, everything is fine and wonderful.
This is all clear, because in Hawaii no one is in a hurry, and there’s no reason to. Of course, this is a place of relaxation and unity with nature with the help of its culture and characteristics.
A reasonable question may arise - who has the right to use the gesture? Yes, everyone has. Young and old of any profession can take advantage of this gesture. Moreover, the situation in which it is appropriate is very diverse - greeting, gratitude, wishing you a good day.
Using the shaka gesture, you immediately feel in unity with nature islands and local culture.
No one knows where this gesture came from, and existing theories vary on this matter. Many are leaning towards the beach appearance and the participation of surfing in this. One of the first versions says that in the forties of the 20th century this gesture used by a factory worker.
He had an accident in which he lost several fingers. Therefore, when greeting, he waved the rest of his palm.
According to another version, he not only crippled his hand, but issued a warning. Waving a brush to children jumping from trains. They repeated what they saw. The gesture stuck between them, and then went further to the people, gaining popularity.
Another version says that the gesture is for the first time surfer used whose shark bit off several fingers. Or that it was the government's way of punishing those caught surfing. One finger - once. And the most avid surfers could get to know each other with the help of a shak.
It is possible that this gesture invented by the Spaniards who came to the island. By making the indicated symbol with their hands, they created their meaning. In their understanding this meant invitation to drink. This is how they approached the local population when they were thirsty and explained to them.
There are many versions of this, but they all have one thing in common – the message. It consists of a wish for love and goodness, a friendly symbol that unites everyone on the islands.
The word “shaka” itself, which gave the name to the gesture, appeared in the second half of the last century. When the news was broadcast, the journalist ended the broadcast with best wishes. True, some sources are sure that the name takes its roots in the name of Buddha, Shakyamuni.
When he prayed, he made shaka with his hands. And with each palm. It turns out that such a symbol speaks of following the religion of Buddha and his view of life. Some even say that this is a copy of the expression “shark eye, sharp eye.”
It was given most respected friends and family members. At the end of the seventies, the candidate for the post of local mayor used this symbol in his election political campaign, which led to an increase in the popularity and recognition of the symbol. They began to talk about it more often, use it and bring it to the masses.
Gesture serves in a simple way remind all people that it is worth taking care of others. The islanders profess their principle. It translates into a simple and understandable thesis that says that we must love and care for all people.
Even newcomers to the island can safely use this gesture. If the word “Aloha” was used for greeting, farewell and wishes for peace, then a symbol such as “Shaka” conveys all these meanings to us at once.
In Russia, the gesture is common, but with a slightly different meaning. It could be offer to drink, according to Spanish tradition. Promise contact by phone, or offer to smoke. And some world football players use it when celebrating a victory.
We observe a common phenomenon where a gesture originated in one area and then spread throughout the world. Moreover, its interpretation varies from country to country. There is only one thing left - good intention.
Incredible facts
For the first time in history, geneticists have defeated Down syndrome. Scientists have succeeded in switching off an extra chromosome early in pregnancy.
Thanks to this laboratory experiment, which ended so successfully, there is hope for a possible cure for a genetic disease that is characterized by cognitive impairment.
The experiment, which ended in one of the laboratories of an American university, is a breakthrough in the field of genetics.
Scientists boldly say that in vitro experiments open up new possibilities for future chromosome therapy.
Researchers from the University of Massachusetts have shown by example that the extra chromosome that causes Down syndrome can be “turned off”, after which the fetus will develop normally.
This discovery provides important evidence that the underlying genetic defect (extra chromosome) can be eliminated even at the stage of cell development.
The experiment, carried out by American scientists, will improve scientists' understanding of the fundamental biology underlying Down syndrome, and will also help in the future to develop medicine and improve therapy for the treatment of genetic disorders that today cause fear to most of us.
Down syndrome: causes
Most people are born with 23 pairs of chromosomes, including two sex chromosomes (for a total of 46). Patients with Down syndrome are born with an extra chromosome, which is formed during the embryonic stage. Typically, the extra copy is observed on chromosome 21.
Researchers are confident that so-called "trisomy 21" causes cognitive disability, Alzheimer's disease leads to a high risk of developing leukemia in children, heart disease, and also causes dysfunction of the endocrine system.
Unlike genetic disorders caused by a single gene, genetic correction of an entire chromosome in a trisomic cell was, until recently, beyond the realm of possibility.
That is why any genetic disease was considered incurable. However, geneticists from the University of Massachusetts managed to perform a real miracle.
Now we can say with confidence that the experiment, during which scientists managed to suppress the extra chromosome, was more than successful. Thanks to stem cells, the extra copy of the chromosome that causes Down syndrome is simply “turned off.”
The experiment was a real breakthrough in medicine, as well as hope for all humanity that in the future it will be possible to cure not only Down syndrome, but also other genetic diseases, the names of which alone fill us with fear.
Down syndrome on ultrasound
The so-called screening test to detect Down syndrome in the fetus is carried out between 11 and 14 weeks of pregnancy. The ultrasound specialist determines the thickness of the collar space.
An ultrasound examination, which measures the subcutaneous fluid in the cervical region of a child, makes it possible to talk about the likelihood of developing the disease with almost one hundred percent accuracy.
Down syndrome test
There is another sure-fire option - a blood test, which can reveal a genetic disorder. A special blood test determines the level of beta-hCG, as well as the PAPP-A protein.
Using a blood test, doctors accurately determine the degree of risk of developing a disorder. In women carrying a fetus with Down syndrome, the concentration of beta-hCG and PAPP-A protein is noticeably different from the prescribed norm.
Both tests are accurate, however, if there is some doubt about the child's normal development, the doctor may order both tests at the same time, thereby increasing the accuracy of the results.
Screening test
The benefits of a screening test in the first trimester of pregnancy are clear. First of all, this is high accuracy and almost error-free determination of the development of deviation.
An important fact is that this analysis is carried out in the early stages of pregnancy, which allows, if a disease is detected, to conduct additional research and also decide what to do with the fetus next: terminate the pregnancy or still give birth to a baby.
In any case, the earlier the disease is detected, the less traumatic consequences threaten expectant mother if she decides to have an abortion.
The main disadvantage of carrying out a screening test is that it is not carried out in every clinic or in every city. Many are also put off by the high cost of such analysis. As a rule, a screening test to detect Down syndrome in a fetus can be done in metropolitan clinics.
Down syndrome: signs
At birth, just by looking at the child, doctors can accurately determine whether the child has a genetic disease.
People with Down syndrome tend to certain features in appearance, which make them similar to each other, and also distinguish them from others.
Typically, children with Down syndrome:
- flat face,
Slanted eyes with raised corners,
One transverse fold on the palm,
A far apart big toe,
Excessively developed skin folds on the foot.
To continue the analysis of the thumb, the hand should be placed calmly, evenly, without tension, on a smooth horizontal surface. The normal angle between the thumb and index finger (the axis of the palm) is 60°. In this case, the owner of the hand is open. Such a person is hospitable, not greedy by nature, but not a spendthrift either, has many friends, easily contacts new people, and gathers company at home. If he has a sense of humor,

subtly, bringing those around him to complete despair with his logical calculations. He can prove to you that you are mediocrity and nonentity, thereby proving to himself that he is smart and talented. And vice versa, if someone tries to make comments to him himself, he will most likely run into a sharp rebuke on the topic: “I decide everything myself and don’t need any advice.”
If in a calm state of the hand the angle between the axis of the palm and the thumb is small, less than 60°, this is a bad sign.
A pressed thumb indicates to the palmist that a person is limited and dependent on the environment. Such people suffer severely if they fail to find like-minded people, but they are also lack of initiative in communicating with allies. A person with this symptom tries never to change jobs. This is a real treasure for the autocratic and decisive boss, who is able to give precise instructions and demands unconditional obedience, without assigning any creative work. It’s great if such an efficient person is sincerely passionate about his work. Outside of work, he also needs a leader - in hobbies, in marriage. This is a gentle man, unable to raise his voice. If a husband with this sign has an energetic wife, then one-sided family scandals are often possible: “Fix the stool! Can’t you see, it’s broken!” He nods and begins to fix it. “And in general, this leg has been dangling for a month now! Didn’t you notice?!” He turns his head vaguely. “The drain in the bathroom is leaking, the lock is broken, it’s a punishment, not a husband, why don’t you see anything?!” Sighs, but peacefully to himself

thinks: “Why didn’t you say? I would fix it...” - “Why are you sighing? A?! Everyone’s husbands are like husbands, but for me... It’s some kind of horror, my woe!”
If a person with a small angle between a large and index finger prone to mental disorders, neuroses, it is very dangerous when he does not find normal communication and support. He does not have the strength to solve problems himself, and he cannot always ask for outside help. However, he is a loyal and efficient person, worthy of having more energetic friends.
Big the finger “can be kept pressed to the side of the hand in any state - this is an indicator of the caution and prudence of the owner of the hand.
When the hand lies freely on a flat surface, and the tip of the thumb is hidden under the palm, this indicates the presence of very strong egoistic tendencies in the owner of the hand.
When in the same free position the thumb lies “on the edge”, with the pad turned towards the hand, this should be considered as a favorable sign. Most likely, the instincts of a person with this position of the thumb are not vacuous, they bear the imprint of sophistication. The owner of the hand with the sign in question has good contact with people, is gentle and tolerant. Many positive traits of nature, assumed by the type of corresponding brush, are enhanced by this characteristic.
But if the thumb lies in the same plane with the palm, pressed against it with a pad, this indicates the predominance of base instincts. Thanks to atavistic phenomena of the psyche
this sign contributes to the strengthening and development of evil inclinations.
It happens that the pad of the thumb is pressed against the edge of the palm, and its nail is turned forward. This is almost certainly a sign of greed; for such a person, money plays the most important role in life. If money remains inaccessible, there is not enough energy to acquire it, he becomes envious, unkind and unhappy. Every time he fails to buy something with money, he is shocked to the core.
Palmists traditionally view greed as a sign of low vital energy. Greed can be accompanied by karmic diseases.
A very favorable sign is if the thumb, lying calmly on the surface, does not touch this surface with the tip (Fig. 20).
The owner of this trait is distinguished by a calm temperament, he is not gnawed by morbid ambitions, he is not greedy, not too ambitious, and not cruel. This is a rather strong, but “homely” person. He has a good attitude towards everyday affairs, they do not make him angry, he loves to tinker,

dig, grow flowers, improve and rationalize your home. He is generous and benevolent. Usually the sign under consideration indicates the genuine cordiality of a pleasant, affectionate person.
As can be seen from the above examples, the thumb is a carrier of many possible characteristics. But not only him general shape and location matter, the joints and the nature of the bends also carry special information.
So, the thumb has two bends (Fig. 21). The first bend considered in chirology (A) is called the “angle of rhythm”, the second (B) is called the “angle of harmony”.
If both angles are well expressed, they indicate an excellent development of feelings of rhythm and harmony, which manifest themselves in all areas of human life. Rhythm, cyclicality, clarity of repetitions are the basis human body, the importance of a sense of rhythm is difficult to overestimate. Rhythm disturbances in the field of physiology or psychology can lead to serious disturbances in the corresponding area.
With a sufficient level of human development and intelligence, well-defined angles of the thumb allow one to draw conclusions about the creative abilities and talents of the individual, which find a way out in some area of art.
The size of the thumb often depends on the type of hand to which it belongs. The elemental or energetic hand has a large, thick and strong thumb. In practical -

long, beautiful, agile, working. In a spiritual or artistic hand, it is often thin, super flexible, and in a spade-shaped hand, the thumb plays a special role in the interpretation of human nature, since it can indicate a leveling or, conversely, aggravation of the shortcomings of the corresponding human type,
To determine the length of the thumb, it is convenient to use the figure (Fig. 22).
A finger that ends at the end is considered short. at the base of the index finger. A normal thumb ends at the center of the lower phalanx of the index finger, and a long finger ends at the lower joint of the index finger.
You should always take into account other features and characteristics of the hand, not considering the length of the thumb as a key feature. But if we are dealing with an uncharacteristic hand with unclear or other contradictory indicators, we must use the information contained in the length of the thumb, in which case it turns out to be key.
A normal thumb, like all indicators of normal structure, is a favorable sign. It will indicate the balance of natural forces, and the balance of man in physical psychologically always good. Such a person knows his own worth, is not ambitious, does not impose his company, but communicates calmly and evenly, does not suffer in case of refusal, but also does not rejoice excessively if he is invited somewhere. These qualities are accompanied by the ability to introspect.

But, on the other hand, the opportunist can also become a sycophant, too easily taking the required form. Toadies are often used as a tool, sometimes in a less than clean game.
A very mobile thumb, capable of taking unnatural positions (deviated

moving far back, etc.) is most often found on the spiritual hands of nervous, unstable people. Their impulsive and changeable nature urgently needs a smooth and calm environment, understanding from close people. To stabilize, such a person (usually a woman) can use types of meditation and auto-training, art, especially music, and communication with nature.
If the joints of the hand are weak and limp, the thumb may look as if it is dislocated. This is a sign of mental and physical lethargy and apathy. Such weak-willed people do not know what they want and do not know what to want. They easily succumb to the influence of others, but not so much as to be even led, to become interested in someone else’s sphere of application of strength. In a company, these are almost always silent observers.
Moderate mobility of the thumb, which is characterized by strong muscles, the ability to perform precise small movements, and also to hold the finger still if necessary, is rated as a positive quality. It is assumed that this sign means harmony between a person’s internal balance and the nature of his environment.
A rigid, motionless thumb indicates limitations and closedness to new ideas. Most often, such a finger is found on elementary and spade-shaped hands. But a person with this sign, although narrow-minded, often shows balance and independence, and does not waste himself. A hard thumb is often found in people who work manually, especially in rural areas.
PALM AND HOOP
When this symptom reaches a certain critical level, narrowness and limitations degenerate into dullness. Completely motionless, “numb” thumbs are found in the weak-minded.
General characteristics of fingers
If the fingers of the hand are thick, but taper towards the base and are noticeably thinner at the “root” than in the middle, then such a person willingly pays tribute to his own sensuality. Nevertheless, this is a strong person, with well-developed self-control, who still does not allow passions to take over him.
Thin fingers with a thin base are a sign of a conscientious person, capable of precise research, scrupulous scientific work. As examples, we can name history, law, higher mathematics and computer technology.
The bases of the index, middle and ring fingers are usually located on one straight line, and the base of the little finger is slightly lower than the mentioned straight line, deeper in the palm. This arrangement of the bases of the fingers indicates the balanced nature of the owner of the hand. The activities of such a person in everyday life and in the service are ordered and subordinated to the system.
If the line passing through the bases of the fingers is uneven, then this allows us to conclude about a certain uneven character. People with this trait tend to get scattered and find it very difficult to concentrate on one thing. A lack of stability and consistency can create communication problems for them. But
in the presence of compensating favorable signs, this lack of composure may not be fatal.
The root (lower) phalanges of the fingers are in relationship with the system of endocrine glands. The middle phalanx can carry important information about the state of human health. The upper, nail phalanx, as mentioned earlier, is an organ of touch. Certain information, on the reading of which an entire science is based, is recorded on the fingers in the form of papillary lines (fingerprint). All this proves the importance of the structure of the upper phalanx of the fingers.
Long upper phalanges of the fingers indicate a high level of sensitivity and intelligence. As a rule, they occur on hands of the appropriate type - elongated, graceful. The nails on such fingers have a beautiful oblong shape. Short phalanges indicate the opposite properties: primitiveness of nature, poverty of language, lack of aesthetic sense. And their nails are usually wide and short, unattractive.
If the hand lies calmly, the nail phalanges are slightly bent towards the palm - this indicates the selfishness of the owner of the hand. Such a sign can mean greed, poverty of feelings, but at the same time - a high ability to concentrate, to realize the “ego”, to achieve what is desired. In palmistry, slightly bent upper joints of the fingers are called the “sign of a cat”: the muscles are calm, the limbs are slightly bent, and suddenly - a lightning-fast jump! The mouse is caught!

PALMISTRY________ "________________________________________
Strong, focused people have nail phalanges that are hard to the touch and have little mobility. These people are decisive, self-confident, assertive. They live by reason, rarely trusting intuitive knowledge or their own emotions. Thinking, clarity - this is their ideal; these are brilliant managers and administrators. On the contrary, movable nail phalanges of the fingers almost always indicate cunning, good adaptability and intelligence. If the last phalanx bends back, the owner is cunning, although a little absent-minded. Indecisiveness, inattentiveness, lack of composure and inconsistency are the most likely traits of such a person, which usually prevent him from truly “succeeding.”
There are several basic forms of the yogtal phalanx of the finger. In their pure form, like mud of hands, they are rare, and, as a rule, even on one hand, all the fingers are of different shapes. The index finger is usually conical in shape (see Fig. 24.1), like the little finger. But the ring and middle fingers demonstrate individual human differences. Only with a pure aristocratic hand shape, all fingers are the same - with a conical nail phalanx.
The fingertips are conical in shape, tapering towards the apex, usually found on long nail phalanges on generally elongated hands. This ending of the finger is considered beautiful. Conical fingers characterize their owner as a sensitive, responsive nature, with developed imagination and intuition. On a woman's hands, the conical tips of the fingers emphasize

psychological characteristics: flexibility, graceful. quality, vulnerability. On men's hands this sign means gentleness, the ability to love, to create. This form is often found in creative people - actors, dancers - and indicates a developed ability for psychological experiences. But if all the fingers on a man’s hand are conical, this is an alarming sign that indicates increased vulnerability, susceptibility to someone else’s will, and a weakening of the “male contour.” Such traits do not reduce creativity, but complicate the life of the owner, making him vulnerable and defenseless. Sports can be recommended as a medicine. Physical strength will give confidence and create a feeling of security.
When developed to its “logical conclusion”, the conical fingers become pointed (Fig. 24.4). To the characteristics of a person with conical nail phalanges are added such qualities as selfishness, a penchant for sensual pleasures, and sometimes even cruelty. Pointed fingers are typical for representatives of free creative professions. A person with this sign has a stable psyche and is not prone to depression and melancholy. And in general he is more viable than the owner of conical fingers. It’s bad if such a strong and extraordinary person is overly proud.
Quadrangular nail phalanges (Fig. 24.2) are a sign of vital activity. The only case when analysis cannot be based on this sign is if the shape of the finger contradicts the general type of hand, if the hand is infantile, has degenerative signs, or indicates weakness.
weakness, lethargy and low activity of a person. In other cases, the owner of quadrangular nail phalanges is a critical and objective person. Self-discipline is important to him, and in those around him he does not like looseness, vagueness in thoughts and actions. Usually, if this sign dominates, the owner of the hand has a good idea of his life path and moves straight and confidently along it. The quadrangular shape of the tip of the index finger is especially beneficial.
The nail phalanx may have slight extensions in the middle of the nail and a conical tailbone. This shape of the top of the finger is called triangular (Fig. 24.3) and is often formed as a result of some type of work. If this form is congenital, then this indicates an unstable psyche. Most often, the owner of this sign is an extravagant person who often experiences depression and neuroses. In everyday life they say about such people that they are “out of character.” If triangular fingertips are a dominant feature that is not compensated by others, the person constantly fluctuates between mental health and mental disorder.
Manner of holding fingers
If, in any position of the hand, the fingers remain closely pressed to each other, the owner of such a hand tries not to open under any life circumstances. Restraint and self-control allow him to constantly control himself and not leave a state of balance.
Supreme life principle such a person - caution. But caution does not prevent him from being brave when necessary. For the sake of - h "> disgrace, excellent concentration of thoughts poses - V will allow such a person to make a good career. True, this is, as a rule, an egoist, and in close communication - a “fireproof cabinet”, preoccupied with not giving a friend or acquaintance a weapon against himself. He does not like open expressions of feelings.
Splayed fingers and loose hands are the opposite sign. Such fingers belong to an impulsive, lively and impressionable person. The developed sphere of sensory perception determines talent in art. With equal development of logical data, this is an extraordinary, pleasant person, capable of sympathy and generous deeds.
An open hand like a fan is a sign of extravagance, a penchant for extravagance and life’s pleasures. Such people are subject to unexpected impulses and commit risky and thoughtless actions.
Gaps between fingers
If you place your hand loosely on a smooth surface, differences in the spaces between your fingers will become noticeable. These intervals will give the palmist an idea of the cultural development of a person, of his. moral and ethical principles. It is due to the difference in size that these gaps have diagnostic value.
