We are pleased to inform you of more significant progress towards scientific understanding and awareness of Post-Finasteride Syndrome.
Upcoming scientific research: Opening a new line of scientific investigation
As you may have already heard, our first scientific study at The University of Kiel is already underway. The objective of these efforts is to uncover more pathomechanistic clues about the disease - a necessary step to gain a better understanding of why the findings of significant and widespread gene deregulation demonstrated by Baylor might be occurring.
To gain a complete understanding of this disease, however, we are now going to be looking into possible predisposition(s) to PFS. Today, we are announcing new research to support this objective, provisionally titled Investigating genetic factors involved in the development and onset of Post-Finasteride Syndrome.
Tampere University in Finland will begin investigating possible genetic factors involved in developing Post-Finasteride Syndrome. This research will continue building upon the important results from Baylor College of Medicine. These landmark findings demonstrated significant deregulation of gene expression in PFS patient tissue which correlated to observed biological differences in patients and their self-reported symptoms. While Baylor’s results indicate a what, we need to continue expanding into the why with more modern investigative techniques.
These efforts, combined with those already underway at The Institute for Human Genetics in Germany, hope to provide a more complete understanding of PFS, and why some patients experience persistent and severe health problems after discontinuing finasteride.
In this study, researchers will use a technique known as Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) to analyse a cohort of PFS patients, looking for potential genetic factors that may predispose patients to developing the disease. This type of study has been clearly recommended as an appropriate next step by multiple publications, including Baylor College of Medicine. The aims of investigating possible genetic factors involved in PFS are:

• to understand the genetic predisposition to develop PFS
• to understand why some individuals are affected and some are not
• to prioritise genes implicated in the onset of the most common phenotypes

Understanding possible genetic factors involved in Post-Finasteride Syndrome could provide another path to accurate disease modelling in animals. Insights uncovered through research into patient genetics, along with potential insights from our existing line of scientific investigation, can contribute to establishing a disease model, with the objective of understanding the core pathomechanism and hopefully, an eventual target for precision medicine treatment of PFS. An understanding of the predisposition will also:

• clearly establish which consumers are at risk of developing PFS
• help clinicians diagnose PFS faster and more accurately

Specifically, this study will use WGS to analyse the entire genome of 150 PFS patients compared to a group of healthy controls. WGS in principle allows the detection of disease relevant genomic variants beyond the exome such as DNA structural alterations, deep intronic variants, variants in non-coding regions, or repeat expansions and may improve variant calling in homologous sequences. It represents a novel, distinct diagnostic tool that targets genes and goes beyond the coding region and allows elucidation of established and novel non-coding genomic diseases.
The researchers involved in this project are accomplished in their fields and have a genuine interest in the disease. After extensive consultation and collaboration on our previous project, they are also aware of the multisystemic nature of PFS and other key peculiarities involved. The supervising lead, Professor Alfonso Urbanucci, has previously published in Cell reports evidence that overexpression of the AR is able to drive genome-wide chromatin relaxation and gene expression alteration in refractory prostate cancer. Collaborative input will be provided by Professor Johanna Schleutker, an accomplished geneticist.
We again appreciate any support that patients, loved ones and supporters can provide. We understand the scarcity of resources available in our community and do not take any decision about the allocation of those resources lightly. This is a path that has been recommended by almost every researcher we’ve consulted with, including preeminent researchers operating some of the largest facilities in the world.
Generously, researchers involved have again offered their support at a heavily discounted rate. We will not be required to pay salary cost for the researchers involved, which makes what would usually be quite-costly far more palatable.
As such, we are setting a fundraising target of €200,000. This has again been supplemented by the generous donations that supporters have continued to make even after the Kiel study was funded. While €200,000 is the “breakeven” figure for the study, we must again remind patients that research is largely a chicken-and-egg scenario. The more funds available, the easier it is to begin new research when insights become available.
You can donate here: pfsnetwork.org/donate
PFS Network now a registered 501(c)(3) organisation
After many months of waiting, we are pleased to announce we have received 501c3 status in the United States. This means that all donations made from US tax residents are now tax-deductible. We believe this also means patients can retroactively make tax-deductible claims for donations over the previous years, but please check with a tax expert.
Patient recruitment
We will be prioritising patients who completed the patient survey on Propeciahelp for this study, in order of those most severely affected. If you participated in the survey, you will be receiving an email in the coming days with an invitation to participate. If you receive this email, please follow the link to the form provided. Once we have exhausted this list, we will also be asking newer patients to come forward. When you apply, you will be asked to provide a link to your propeciahelp member story or Reddit profile so we can verify your post history and when you entered the community.
Please do not email or reach out until we have asked for more volunteers. We do not have the manpower to manually sort through applications.
As this study will be conducted remotely, it is vital we validate each participant is in fact a patient. It will also add weight to the study scientifically. For this reason, we are prioritising patients who completed our patient survey. This does not mean that you will not have a chance to participate if you didn’t complete the survey - it is highly likely we will not have 150 responses from survey participants. This study requires 150 patient samples to go ahead. Control data will be provided by a data bank containing healthy controls that is frequently used for genetics studies. The material required will be a blood sample.
Collection can be done remotely, and will be managed by our partner Dante Labs, a highly-respected third-party company that provides sequencing services for large laboratories, hospitals and institutions. If you are interested, Dante will send you a blood collection kit via mail, which you will send back to their lab once complete. You do not need to leave your house to collect the sample and the kit is very straightforward to use. It will not cost you anything to participate.
Faces of the disease: New awareness campaign
After two decades, it finally feels like this disease is emerging from the shadows. While public accounts were sporadic in decades prior, in recent years we’ve seen a surge in patients speaking openly about the devastating effects of PFS. It is immensely encouraging that this is happening beyond our own efforts.
After much delay, we have begun releasing the second season of our patient interview series on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQXyXbJNqxzjEhPp5RVI88A
We will be releasing one episode a month and we encourage you to share them widely, like and comment. These simple actions will help these accounts rank higher in search results on what is an important platform for awareness. Again, we are indebted to our five guests for their bravery.
Our group has consistently maintained that research is only one - albeit very important - path towards understanding and acceptance of this disease. Anonymous usernames on a forum can be easily dismissed, but real humans cannot. We encourage anyone interested in speaking out to come forward as we begin recording more episodes shortly.
This opportunity represents another significant step in bringing this disease out of the shadows. We hope you are able to support where possible.
Thank you again for your continued courage, PFS Network team

Cryptocurrency investment is increasingly being seen as an unmissable asset class and gaining legitimacy. With this increased popularity comes the need to report gains and losses for tax purposes. One crucial aspect of reporting these gains and losses is the IRS Form 8949. This form is specifically designed for investors who must report capital gains or losses from selling or exchanging property, a group that now includes cryptocurrency. If you're a crypto investor, this post will walk you through completing Form 8949.

Requirements for Filing Form 8949

To file Form 8949 for cryptocurrency transactions, investors must report any sales, exchanges, or dispositions of cryptocurrency, including instances where cryptocurrency is used to purchase goods or services. Transactions of less than $200 are exempt, and no reporting is required. However, transactions exceeding this amount must be reported.
Please note that the information provided is for educational purposes only. You should always consult a qualified tax professional for accurate and up-to-date guidance on how to fill out Form 8949. This will ensure misunderstandings and errors will not arise, especially from laws specific for your area of residence.

How to Fill Out Form 8949

Once you've determined that you must report your crypto transactions on Form 8949, the next step is filling out the form accurately and completely. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the process:
​

1. Start by downloading a blank copy of 8949 tax form from the IRS website.
2. Enter your personal information, including your name, social security number, or taxpayer identification number, and the tax year you are filing for.
3. Identify the asset being sold or exchanged by filling columns (a) and (b). In column (a), you'll list the name of the asset, such as "Bitcoin" or "Ethereum." In column (b), you'll list the date you acquired the asset.
4. In column (c), list the date you sold or exchanged the asset.
5. In column (d), enter the proceeds from the sale or exchange. This includes any cash or cryptocurrency you received due to the transaction.
6. In column (e), enter the cost basis of the asset. This is the asset's original purchase price plus any additional costs associated with acquiring or holding the asset, such as fees or commissions. If you acquired the asset through mining or staking, your cost basis is the asset's fair market value on the date you received it.
7. In column (f), calculate the gain or loss from the transaction by subtracting the cost basis from the proceeds. If the result is a positive number, you have a capital gain. If the results are in negative figures, you have a capital loss.
8. Repeat this process for each transaction you need to report on Form 8949, and make sure the total gains and losses are accurately calculated and reported on your tax return.

It's important to take your time and fill out 8949 tax form carefully to avoid errors or discrepancies that could trigger an internal revenue service audit or result in an incorrect tax bill.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

While filling out Form 8949, it's crucial to avoid common mistakes that can lead to internal revenue service penalties. Common mistakes include incorrect reporting, missing information, and failure to attach Form 8949 to your tax return. It's also important to double-check all entries to ensure accuracy.

How to Descrypt Crypto Transactions on IRS Form 8949

The IRS requires taxpayers to report all cryptocurrency transactions. However, tallying these transactions can take time and effort, and the manual data entry processes are prone to error. Descrypt is an essential platform that can help investors improve their reporting accuracy.
By automatically tracking all crypto transactions, traders can rest easy knowing they have accurately provided the relevant information to file their taxes accurately. Connect your wallet or exchange accounts directly to Descrypt, and the platform will generate a comprehensive report that includes all the necessary details for filing Form 8949.

Wrapping Up

Hi legends
I am a freshly qualified chippy desperate for a ute as my old faithful doesn't cut it anymore. I need it mainly for work and maybe once in a while 4wding. Budget is about 15-18k.
I have options -
2006 Hilux 200,000km automatic $20k Pretty much standard stock. Bit of a lift. Looks decent overall. Petrol V6 N70 Hilux. Rego and rwc. Clear title
2011 Mitsubishi Triton 81,500km Automatic $13k Pretty much standard stock. Looks a bit dodgy but the guy insists it's a clear title (I'll check the VIN if I go with this for clear ppsr). No rego rwc yes clear title.
2010 Nissan Navara 165,000km $15.7k D22 Manual Heavily modded with sus lifts, muddies, bunch of bells and whistles which I don't really care about but it looks like a decent car overall. Rego yes rwc yes clear title.
I have to sort it out by this weekend.
Needs - pretty much haul my tools in the canopy I'll put on it and maybe a trailer but that's a few years away atleast.
If someone more experienced could help me out with picking the right car, please do. I could stretch my budget a bit but I'll have to ask the missus for a little which she is happy to help out with but I would rather not.
I will roughly get 13-14k for my old hatchback car so that'll offset everything for me.
EDIT - The Triton was rust central. Looked like it was flooded big time so I just said no and came home.
Help a fella out. Thanks kings

Hey all,
I am located in Alberta, Canada and am looking to purchase a vehicle in the Edmonton area. Currently what's caught my eye is a 2019 Mitsubishi RVR, but it has 163,000 km on it which seems very high for a car that new. Is this a concern? Are there any known problems with this model to look out for? I move around a lot for work so I like the storage space an SUV provides, but I'm weary of getting something that won't last long (my current car turned out to be a shitter, that's why I'm in the market for something newer). I've never drove a manual but am willing to learn if it gets me a better vehicle for my money. The only issue with that is I'll be leaving the day after I get the vehicle for a rather long road trip.
I would be financing on a 60 month or lower term, would like to keep my biweekly payments to around 200 give or take. Anyone seeing anything I'm not?
Thank you all.

Hello piping folks, I don't know if anyone shared this on here in the past two years, since this sub is mainly SGHB-based, but I think that many of you may be interested. I hope this is a welcome suggestion for all the pipers here.
Éric Montbel, who's an absolute authority on the bagpipes of the Centre of France (essentially meaning the chabrette, but all of its repertoire is easily played on the musette - and on the border pipes as well), has reprinted in 2021 his book Carnet de notes - Cahier de répertoire pour la chabrette, which had been sold out for quite some time despite being an essential learning tool for that repertoire. Along with this, he made the recordings of all of the tunes contained in the book (around 200, sorted by type of tune and type of fingering - by the way, does anyone know what the English equivalent of entremain and plein-jeu is, if there is one?) freely available online at this link. [Edit: here you can also hear the recordings AND the original field recordings of old players and singers in the '70s and so on).
Also, if you don't know who he is, what the repertoire or this kind of bagpipes are like, this album is a great introduction to them.
Enjoy!
