[The] warnings whispered in private among women in work spaces [or] spoken at the bar with other women [or that] appear in my email inbox or my Twitter [direct messages are] the whisper network that exists, informally, among women who want to protect themselves and other women from sexual harassment. 2, record 3, English, - whisper%20network

This news [of widespread sexual assault perpetrated by media men] has brought to the surface the private conversations women have been having — the warnings whispered to each other to avoid getting hurt.

The prevalence of sexual harassment in our workplaces constantly shocks me. However, the more women who are willing to share their experience, the bigger this 'whisper network' becomes. This can lead to a powerful, underground circle of empathy and safeguards. 3, record 3, English, - whisper%20network

On ne peut guère tenir compte de la nature de la dysphonie qui se rencontre dans la quasi-totalité des affections organiques ou fonctionnelles du larynx. La discussion porte sur l'immobilité d'une corde découverte lors de l'endoscopie. On éliminera ainsi facilement l'aphonie pithiatique. L'anamnèse permet de retrouver souvent un traumatisme émotionnel, un stress, un conflit affectif, une situation dépressive. L'abolition de la voix chuchotée et de la toux volontaire contraste avec la parfaite conservation de la mobilité laryngée lors de l'inspiration, alors que l'adduction est manifeste lors des efforts de toux. 1, record 9, French, - voix%20chuchot%C3%A9e
