Who was Vardis Vardinogiannis?
Vardis Vardinogiannis was born on December 4, 1933 in the Diocese of Rethymno and was the son of Ioannis Vardinogiannis and Chrysis Theodoroulakis. He was the fifth of eight children in the family.
He graduated in 1955 from the Naval Cadet School and followed a career as an officer in the Navy (then the Royal Navy), like his brother, Nikos. He was forcibly demobilized in July 1967 by the dictatorial regime of April 21 with the rank of admiral, due to his resistance action, and was exiled to Amorgos.
He was initiated into the anti-dictatorship movement of the Navy and helped to ensure the supply of ships in the event of a movement. He dealt with his brother’s businesses and from 1972 took over their management after his untimely death. Since 1989 he has been involved in the Mass Media, founding the television stations Mega (which he owned until 2019) and Star.
Since 2018, it has also owned the Alpha broadcaster. He was married to Marianna Vardinogianni (née Bournakis) from 1961 until her death in 2023, and they had five children: Giannis (1962), Christianna (1964), George (1967), Nikos (1974) and Vardianna (1976). He and his wife had developed important philanthropic actions.

Katerina Sakellaropoulou’s statement on the death of Vardis Vardinogiannis
“An acute entrepreneurial spirit, democratic consciousness, social sensitivity were the characteristics of Vardis Vardinogiannis, whom we say goodbye to today with sadness and respect.
Multifaceted and unstable, he contributed the most to the strengthening and extroversion of the Greek economy. As a Navy officer he was actively involved in the resistance against the dictatorship of the colonels and after his demobilization he supported his former colleagues in the resistance with all his might.
Keeping his ties with his birthplace, Crete, intact, he created a solid family and a second one, consisting of the workers in his businesses, while wholeheartedly supporting and strengthening the charity work of his beloved Marianna.
With his dynamism, foresight, and his commitment to the goal, he left an indelible mark on the economic and social life of our country. My heartfelt condolences to his family.”
Mitsotakis for Vardinogiannis: He leaves a great example of a successful Greek
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said his own goodbye to Vardis Vardinogiannis.
He wrote in detail:
I say goodbye with sadness to Vardis Vardinogiannis. The patriarch of a family that sealed with its action the economic and social reality of the place, all in the last decades. And the man who behind his always serious look hid a lot: from business audacity and dynamism in economic competitions, to his countless charitable initiatives, many of which he wanted to remain unknown.
Our family relationships, as well as Vardis’s interest in public life, allowed me to get to know him up close. He was, after all, an anti-dictatorship fighter and a firm follower of moderation, regardless of his dominant role in the Greek and international economy. A role that also made him seem unattainable. While in reality he was a simple man. Who was in love with his wife and adored his children and Crete.
He will now meet his beloved Marianna, certain of the fulfillment of his visions by his worthy successors. He leaves a great example of a successful Greek, who believed in team effort: “Be careful and be interested in your neighbor”, he had advised his colleagues in one of his last meetings. While his words about the debt of every powerful factor will always resonate: “Above everything and everyone we must have the homeland”.

#Vardis #Vardinogiannis #family #wishes #wreaths #donations #ELPIDA #Association #Friends #Children #Cancer #Association
It looks like you’ve posted a chunk of JavaScript code that is used to load and manage various ad scripts and integration modules for a website. Let’s break down the different sections and what they seem to be doing:
1. **Remove AdSense Slots on Mobile**:
“`javascript
if (screen.width <= 768) {
document.querySelectorAll(‘.adsbygoogle’).forEach(function(e) {
e.querySelector(‘.adsbygoogle’).remove();
});
}
“`
This code checks if the screen width is less than or equal to 768 pixels (typically mobile devices) and removes AdSense elements from the page.
2. **Load AdSense Scripts**:
The code then initializes AdSense slots if any exist:
“`javascript
const adSenseSlots = document.querySelectorAll(‘.adsbygoogle’);
const adSenseSlotCount = adSenseSlots.length;
if (adSenseSlotCount > 0) {
adSenseSlots.forEach(function(e){
// Additional logic to load AdSense scripts would go here
});
}
“`
3. **Phaistos Adman**:
It appears to prepare a queue for Phaistos Adman ad units:
“`javascript
window.AdmanQueue=window.AdmanQueue||[];
AdmanQueue.push(function(){Adman.adunit({id:338,h:’…’});
“`
4. **OneSignal for Push Notifications**:
The script initializes OneSignal for web push notifications with the specified app ID:
“`javascript
window.OneSignalDeferred = window.OneSignalDeferred || [];
OneSignalDeferred.push(function(OneSignal) {
OneSignal.init({
appId: “487cc53b-3b66-4f84-8803-3a3a133043ab”,
});
});
“`
5. **Disqus Comments**:
This section sets up Disqus comments for the page, specifying the page’s URL and identifier:
“`javascript
var disqus_config = function() {
this.page.url = “…”; // URL should be set
this.page.identifier = 1564570;
};
“`
6. **Dynamic Script Loading**:
The code contains multiple placeholders for dynamically loading other scripts. There appears to be a function (`asyncLoadScript`) indicated for this purpose, although the actual script URLs are not provided:
“`javascript
asyncLoadScript(‘…’); // Script URL to load would go here
“`
7. **Various Ad Network Integrations**:
The code comments indicate sections for integrating with ad networks like CleverCore, Taboola, and Vidoomy, among others:
“`javascript
// CleverCore
// Vidoomy
“`
8. **Glomex Integration**:
There’s a section to set a timeout for an integration with Glomex if elements related to it exist:
“`javascript
if (document.querySelectorAll(‘glomex-integration’).length) {
setTimeout(function(){
asyncLoadModule(‘…’); // Module URL to load would go here
}, 2000);
}
“`
9. **General Structure**:
The script appears to have several incomplete sections where the actual URLs and functionality for async script loading are omitted or cut off.
### Recommendations:
– **Completeness**: Complete the missing URLs and parameters needed for the ad network scripts.
– **Performance**: Consider using `async` or `defer` attributes when loading scripts to improve performance and prevent blocking the rendering of the page.
– **Error Handling**: Ideally, include error handling for script loading to manage failed requests gracefully.
– **Code Comments**: Keep or expand the comments to explain what each part is intended to do for clarity in future maintenance.
