A former U.S. Green Beret who orchestrated a disastrous failed coup attempt against the authoritarian president Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela in 2020 was arrested Tuesday in New York on federal arms smuggling charges. The federal authorities accused Jordan G. Goudreau, 48, and a co-conspirator, Yacsy Alexandra Alvarez, of exporting military-style rifles, night vision devices, lasers, silencers and other military equipment without a license to Colombia beginning in November 2019 for use in carrying out “activities in Venezuela,” the Justice Department said in a news release on Wednesday. The charges appear to refer to the botched cross-border raid carried out in May 2020 by dozens of armed, self-declared freedom fighters, including former Venezuelan soldiers and former American Special Forces operators, who aimed to topple Mr. Maduro. Mr. Goudreau, of Melbourne, Fla., who did not participate in the raid, publicly took credit for the failed incursion known as Operation Gideon, which he said he had planned with disaffected Venezuelan officials. The audacious rebellion left observers around the world wondering why a decorated former U.S. Special Forces soldier who had served several tours in Iraq and Afghanistan was leading a foreign insurrection.

'Stay away from shorts'There has been a shift in recent years away from strict dress codes, Swann says. On the New York Stock Exchange trading floor, for example, jeans, shorts and other casual wear are still prohibited for personnel and guests. At every job I've had, though, (mainly in media and always based in New York), the dress codes have been way looser. My high school has even adopted a more casual dress code — abandoning the daily tie requirement and allowing sneakers — in recent years. Even if the shorts are dressier or have longer inseams, Swann says they may be perceived as unprofessional in many work environments.

My younger, more disciplined sister hates resolutions: "Why wait for a calendar date to do something that's good for you? Make the decision to be better now," she says, as I eat Christmas cookie dough and promise to give up sugar starting Jan. 1. We need to better understand how habits are formed. So, how do you implement healthier habits without thinking too hard? When it's hard to exercise or eat perfectly or if you just really, really crave takeout from a single-use plastic container, forgive yourself.
