PART 1
If someone asked me about historical places in Yogyakarta, Borobudur and Prambanan are certainly the first thing that would come to mind. I never knew there is actually an endless list of places to go until my recent visit.
My actual plan was to see nearby attractions the first day I arrived. So, I thought Prambanan had to be a great choice as it only took me 25 mins to get there. When I was trying to get a ticket, they offered me a combo which allowed me to see Ratu Boko (King Boko Palace). The ticket included a free shuttle between the two attractions.
That was the first time I set foot at Ratu Boko. The place is located only 3 kilometers from Prambanan and is in the hills. To my admiration, the place is magnificent. A firm and sturdy gate made of stacked stone was my first sight of the palace as I entered from palace gateway. The gate looks very majestic on a sunny day, with the bright skies adorning the landscape.

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.
