Morris Schinasi(Turkish:Moris Sinasi; bornMusa Eskenazi;April 27, 1855 – September 10, 1928) was anOttoman-born wealthy American businessman in thetobacco industry.

He was born in 1855 inManisa,Ottoman Empireto relatively poorSephardic Jewparents. At the age of nine, he contracteddiphtheria. He was treated by aMuslimphysician namedSinasi(Shinasi or Schinasi in European languages) and regained his health. His parents named him henceforthMoris Sinasias a gesture of gratitude.He had two brothers Solomon (also known as Shlomo) and Yaakov, and a sister, Sultana.

He was forced to leave the school and worked in a Jewish cemetery as a guard. At the age of fifteen, he leftTurkeyforAlexandria,Egypt, where he lived until he was nearly thirty. It was then that Garaffolo, a successful Greek tobacco merchant, who informally adopted Schinasi in Alexandria, determined that Schinasi should seek his fortune in America. In 1890, he immigrated to theUnited States.

In 1893, Morris Schinasi exhibited the cigarette made with his patentedcigarette-rolling machineat the1893 Chicago World\'s Fair. Schinasi then returned toNew York Cityto found Schinasi Brothers with his brother, Solomon, who had also came to the United States. Together, the Schinasis produced ready-made cigarettes under the brand name \"Natural\" at their factory on120th StreetandBroadwayusing importedTurkish tobaccorather thanVirginia-grown leaves. They became highly successful. In solidarity with their roots, the brothers invited about 200 Turkish Jews from their homeland to work in the factory.By 1907, both brothers became millionaires.

In 1916, the brothers sold the cigarette factory, worth $2million, and all commercial rights for the business, to theAmerican Tobacco Companyfor $3.5million, and retired from active business life. Morris Schinasi died on September 10, 1928, at the age of 74.A large portion of his wealth, well over $5million, was designated to charity. A one-million dollar fund was entrusted to theChemical Bank and Trust Companyof New York for founding a hospital in Manisa, the town of his birth.

His success was acknowledged byAbdul Hamid II, the Sultan of theOttoman Empireat the time, who gave him theMedjidie Medalof fourth degree \"for his excellent efforts in promoting this industry, which won for him His Majesty\'s commendation.\"[6]The presentation took place in July 1908.

At a press conference held inAthens,Greece, he passed a note to a person sitting next to him asking him to read it because of his illiteracy. He was then asked \"You became so wealthy as an illiterate. What would you have become if you were literate?\". He replied, \"A good cemetery guard.\" referring to his job at age fifteen when he was fired because he could not take a family to their relative\'s grave.This might have inspired the short story \"The Verger\" in the book \"Trio\" byW. Somerset Maugham.

During a business trip toSalonica, then in the Ottoman Empire, he met his future wife, Laurette Schinasi née Ben Rubi, the granddaughter of his business associate Joseph Ben Rubi. He married the 16-year-old girl in 1903. The couple had three daughters, Victoria, Juliette, and Altina.

His daughterAltina Schinasi(1907–1999) was an American sculptor, filmmaker, entrepreneur, window dresser, designer, and inventor, best known for designing the Harlequin eyeglass frame.

Upon Morris Schinasi\'s death, his widow Laurette Schinasi traveled in April 1930 to Manisa, Turkey to establish Moris Sinasi Çocuk Hastahanesi, or Moris Sinasi Children\'s Hospital in the city of her late husband\'s birth. The construction of the institution was financed by 80% of the $1million inheritance.The Turkish government exempted the customs duty from all imported construction materials and hospital equipment by a special act.With the remaining sum, bonds were acquired, of which interests are regularly transferred to the hospital needed for health-care costs. Opened on August 15, 1933, the hospital is still operational.

An international association for children\'s health based in Turkey, \"Morris Sinasi Milletlerarasi Çocuk Sagligi Dernegi\", bears his name.

His family mansion built in 1907 at West 107th Street & 351 Riverside inManhattan, New York City and called theSchinasi Housetoday, is designated as aNew York City Landmarkand is listed in theNational Register of Historic Places. Many of the rooms in the marble building, architecturally inspired by theFrench Renaissance, were decorated in Turkish style.

Hathor(Ancient Egyptian: was a majorgoddessinancient Egyptian religionwho played a wide variety of roles. As asky deity, she was the mother or consort of the sky godHorusand thesun godRa, both of whom were connected with kingship, and thus she was thesymbolic motherof their earthly representatives, thepharaohs. She was one of several goddesses who acted as theEye of Ra, Ra\'s feminine counterpart, and in this form, she had a vengefulaspectthat protected him from his enemies. Her beneficent side represented music, dance, joy, love, sexuality, and maternal care, and she acted as the consort of several male deities and the mother of their sons. These two aspects of the goddess exemplified theEgyptian conceptionoffemininity. Hathor crossed boundaries between worlds, helping deceasedsoulsin the transition to theafterlife.

Hathor was often depicted as acow, symbolizing her maternal and celestial aspect, although her most common form was a woman wearing a headdress of cow horns and a sun disk. She could also be represented as alioness, acobra, or asycamore tree.

Cattle goddesses similar to Hathor were portrayed inEgyptian artin the fourth millennium BC, but she may not have appeared until theOld Kingdom(c.?2686–2181 BC). With the patronage of Old Kingdom rulers, she became one of Egypt\'s most important deities. Moretempleswere dedicated to her than to any other goddess; her most prominent temple wasDenderainUpper Egypt. She was also worshipped in the temples of her male consorts. The Egyptians connected her with foreign lands, such asNubiaandCanaan, and their valuable goods, such asincenseandsemipreciousstones, and some of the peoples in those lands adopted her worship. InEgypt, she was one of the deities commonly invoked in private prayers andvotive offerings, particularly by women desiring children.

During theNew Kingdom(c.?1550–1070 BC), goddesses such asMutandIsisencroached on Hathor\'s position in royal ideology, but she remained one of the most widely worshipped deities. After the end of the New Kingdom, Hathor was increasingly overshadowed by Isis, but she continued to be venerated until theextinction of ancient Egyptian religionin the early centuries AD.

Drawing of theNarmer Palette,c.31st century BC. The face of a woman with the horns and ears of a cow, representing Hathor orBat, appears twice at the top of the palette and in a row below the belt of the king.

Images ofcattleappear frequently in theartworkofPredynastic Egypt(beforec.?3100 BC), as do images of women with upraised, curved arms, reminiscent of the shape of bovine horns. Both types of imagery may representgoddessesconnected withcattle.Cows arevenerated in many cultures, including ancient Egypt, as symbols of motherhood and nourishment, because they care for their calves and provide humans with milk. TheGerzeh Palette, astone palettefrom theNaqadaIIperiod of prehistory (c.?3500–3200 BC), shows the silhouette of a cow\'s head with inward-curving horns surrounded by stars. The palette suggests that this cow was also linked with the sky, as were several goddesses from later times who were represented in this form: Hathor,Mehet-Weret, andNut.

Despite these early precedents, Hathor is not unambiguously mentioned or depicted until theFourth Dynasty(c.?2613–2494 BC) of theOld Kingdom,[4]although several artifacts that refer to her may date to theEarly Dynastic Period(c.?3100–2686 BC).[5]When Hathor does clearly appear, her horns curve outward, rather than inward like those in Predynastic art.

A bovine deity with inward-curving horns appears on theNarmer Palettefrom near the start of Egyptian history, both atop the palette and on the belt or apron of the king,Narmer. The Egyptologist Henry George Fischer suggested this deity may beBat, a goddess who was later depicted with a woman\'s face and inward-curling horns, seemingly reflecting the curve of the cow horns.The Egyptologist Lana Troy, however, identifies a passage in thePyramid Textsfrom the late Old Kingdom that connects Hathor with the \"apron\" of the king, reminiscent of the goddess on Narmer\'s garments, and suggests the goddess on the Narmer Palette is Hathor rather than Bat.

In the Fourth Dynasty, Hathor rose rapidly to prominence.She supplanted an early crocodile god who was worshipped atDenderainUpper Egyptto become Dendera\'spatron deity, and she increasingly absorbed the cult of Bat in the neighboring region ofHu, so that in theMiddle Kingdom(c.?2055–1650 BC) the two deities fused into one.The theology surrounding thepharaohin the Old Kingdom, unlike that of earlier times, focused heavily on the sun godRaasking of the godsand father and patron of the earthly king. Hathor ascended with Ra and became his mythological wife, and thus divine mother of the pharaoh.

Hathor took many forms and appeared in a wide variety of roles.[The Egyptologist Robyn Gillam suggests that these diverse forms emerged when the royal goddess promoted by the Old Kingdom court subsumed many local goddesses worshipped by the general populace, who were then treated as manifestations of her.Egyptian texts often speak of the manifestations of the goddess as \"Seven Hathors\"or, less commonly, of many more Hathors—as many as 362.For these reasons, Gillam calls her \"a type of deity rather than a single entity\".Hathor\'s diversity reflects the range of traits that the Egyptians associated with goddesses. More than any other deity, she exemplifies theEgyptian perceptionoffemininity.
