Cement Prices Cement prices in Palu, Central Sulawesi, have increased to an unprecedented level. Rudi Zulkarnain, Head of Business and Trade support Department of Cooperatives and Micro, Small and Medium Industry and Trade (I don't know how to shorten this) of Central Sulawesi, said on Monday that the average cement price has increased by 5,000 Rupiahs per sack. Cement retailers such as Tonasa, previously sold a sack of cement for Rp60,000. Their price per sack has now increased to Rp65,000. Tiga Roda hiked up from Rp59,000 to 64,000. Meanwhile, Bossowa rose to Rp60,000 per sack. This increase in prices, according to the retailers, are a direct result of increased distributor selling prices following the increase in fuel prices on June 19th 2013.

author, principal Hello, I am reading a journal. I still don't understand how to distinguish 'author' and principal. Goffman introduced the footing concept in order to explore the nature of involvement and participation in social interaction. There are varying forms and degrees participation, and the roles of speaking and hearing can be broken down analytically into more specific interactional "footings." Speakers, for example, may take up various footings in relation to their own remarks. By employing specific "production formats" (1981:145) they may convey distinctions between the (a) animator, (b) author, (c) principal of what is said. The animator is the person who presently utters sequence of words. The one who originated the beliefs and sentiments, and perhaps also composed the words through which they are expressed, is the "author". Finally the "principal" is the person whose viewpoint or position is currently being expressed in and through utterance.
