LONDON, ENGLAND, March 14, 2011 (Press-News.org) Secret Compass is a unique expeditionary company that pioneers exploratory journeys to some of the most remote and wild places on earth. Each one-off expedition has a cultural, historical or geographical focus. This year's expeditions include following in the footsteps of the great explorers to the source of the Oxus in Afghanistan, a diving exploration of the ancient underground water systems in Mexico and a pioneering safari into the world's newest country, South Sudan, to see a previously unknown game migration.
The Secret Compass team are highly experienced ex-military leaders competent in some of the harshest environments on earth including tropical jungles, barren deserts and high altitude mountains.
Lev Wood, Managing Partner, said: "We have used our experience to bring otherwise off limits places to the consciousness of the public. We can get to remote and challenging regions that others only dream of".
The first Secret Compass expedition is in July, 2011 to the majestic Wakhan corridor. This expedition will tread in the footsteps of the first pioneering adventurers in the region. Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan and traders on the Silk Road all passed through before it became the front line for intrepid Great Game explorers from Britain and Russia. Eye watering vistas, hospitable locals and a real sense of going back in time will be the highlights of this expedition.
"Secret Compass is proud to offer our expeditions to anyone with a sense of adventure and desire to see the the most remote landscapes of the world. We are also proud to announce the appointment of Wardour And Oxford as our global business development agency and point towards their international expertise to guide our commercial aspirations and pursuits," said Tom Bodkin, a former Captain in the elite Parachute Regiment.
Wempy Dyocta Koto, CEO of Wardour And Oxford said: "Secret Compass is an extraordinary company, led by extraordinary leaders with an extraordinary vision. The company's expeditions to Afghanistan, Mexico and South Sudan are for adventurers who may live in urban centres like New York, London and Hong Kong, but are now in search of life-changing experiences that teach them about the world's true geographic charms, within a context of history, cultural development and politics".

2011-03-14
Tamoxifen, taken by certain women as a preventive measure against breast cancer, saves lives and reduces medical costs. That is the conclusion of a new study published early online in CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society.

Research has shown that tamoxifen can protect against breast cancer for years after treatment ends, ...
