What is the definition of firmament?
The vault of the sky.
To the ancients, the firmament was a solid dome that held up the primeval waters, while the sun and moon were in the sky below the firmament. Stars were thought to be holes in the firmament, allowing the light of the heavens to shine through.
Amongst Talmudic scholars the firmament is generally accepted to mean outer space or the earth's atmosphere. The Talmud actually teaches that there are seven firmaments, the one we see (the sky) being the first. It is also taught that the firmament is made up of fire and water, basically describing the Earth's atmosphere.
The firmament was a layer of water vapor that at one time covered the entire earth. We see the remnants of that layer today in the form of clouds.
Answer The Jewish Encyclopedia describes the Firmament as follows: "The Hebrews regarded the earth as a plain or a hill figured like a hemisphere, swimming on water. Over this is arched the solid vault of heaven. To this vault are fastened the lights, the stars. So slight is this elevation that birds may rise to it and fly along its expanse."
The book of Genesis goes on to mention lights being placed in the firmament (Genesis 1:14-17):
And God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth": and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: the stars also.
According to traditional commentary, the word Rakia (firmament), like certain other words, may indicate more than one thing. In Genesis 1:20 concerning the birds, it refers to the vault of the sky, against which we see the birds fly. In 1:14 concerning the sun, moon and stars, it refers to what we call outer space. And in the Talmud, Hagigah ch.2 concerning the upper worlds, it refers to the limit between each two of the upper worlds.

What are differences between olden days cooking and modern days cooking?
The biggest difference that comes to mind would be in technology/equipment. Going back only 1000 years or so, most cooking was done either directly over a fire or in an earthenware or iron cooking vessel (think of a dutch oven) that was placed close to the fire or directly on the coals. Today many homes have several different types of cooking vessels such as pots, pans, baking dishes, sheet pans, roasting pans, etc. Many homes have only one stove top and one oven but they could be electric coil, electric induction, natural gas, propane, etc. Many homes today also have microwave ovens as well as specialty cooking appliances such as crockpots, rice cookers, steamers, toasters, etc.
A specific recipe can be altered in numerous (if not infinite) ways, but for the most part, the dishes you encounter every day have been around for a long time or are derived from dishes that have been around for a long time.

It's a form of hair straightener. People of African descent tend to have "kinkier" hair1. In the 1940s, it was common for some African Americans to emulate the straighter style as seen on European or "white" people.
In order to do this, some African Americans used congolene - a gel-like substance that contained lye - to "cook" their hair until it was limp. This style was known as the "conk2". Congolene could be made at home from potatoes, eggs and lye3 and was applied to the hair like shampoo. Since lye is a very corrosive substance, it was washed off very quickly after being applied and the hairdresser would wear protective gloves. The resulting hairstyle would be limp, straight hair which could then be styled further.
Congolene and Conk hairstyling started to die out in the 1960s/70s with the advent of "natural" Afro hairstyles being embraced by African Americans, as well as the mainstream cultural acceptance of these styles. Hair straightening products for less-extreme "straight" styles such as the Jheri curl4 were also a lot more safer.

What is the difference between social cohesion and human development?
Whilst social cohesion is about the sharing of culture and living together of a certain group, human development is about advancing in whatever it is man needs. It is certainly not mandatory to develop only in a group, human development may be very individual and can therefore not be compared to social cohesion, for the latter one is never individual.
