I hope that doesn't happen in reality because then it is enough to give you a heart attack.

So, football yesterday and pre-season kicked off with a fairly routine win over a Malaysia XI.
Two goals in each half gave us a 4-0 win. An early Aaron Ramsey penalty after Jack Wilshere had been taken down in the box opened the scoring. The second came from a lovely Ramsey pass over the top of the Malaysia defence, Theo Walcott timed his run and lobbed the onrushing keeper.
In the second Carlos Vela got his first chip of the season to make it 3-0 and right at the death Tomas Rosicky headed in from close range to seal the deal. After his goal against Leyton Orient that makes him a greater aerial threat than Chamakh and Bendtner put together.
The result wasn't important though. It was all about the physical preparation and the heat and humidity will have been a challenge. The pace of the game was fairly slow, as you would expect any game at this stage of pre-season, and it didn't tell us very much we didn't already know. Defensively we weren't really tested at all.
The most interesting part was seeing the newcomers, Miyachi and Jenkison, for the first time. Obviously it's way too early to cast any judgement on them but they both looked promising. The former has bags of pace but probably needs to know when to use his little tricks and flicks, while Jenkinson looked quite solid at right back, got up and down with plenty of energy and was strong in the tackle.
We'll see how they progress over the next few weeks – and, of course, we still have to get Miyachi's work permit sorted out. A quick trip to Mr Syl Vinho's One-Stop Passport and Immigration Emporium may be required for that one though. Also, before the hype machine gets out of control we have to remember how far this lad has come in a short space of time. As promising as he is, the best thing for his development might well be to spend another season out on loan.
We have no injuries and we had a good sweat. Overall what is important for us is to get slowly ready. I believe technically we were alright for our first game. Physically we suffered a little bit but what is important at this period of the season is to find our team play back and that was quite satisfying.
There was a 20 minute cameo from Samir Nasri, who came on at the same time as van Persie, Arshavin and Sagna, and the manager insisted the speculation over his future won't affect him when he's on the pitch. He also spoke about his decision to keep him for the season ahead and whether the board back that:
I think so, I believe that is no problem. It is a technical decision. What is important is that the club has a good team and is in a strong financial situation. The decisions are dictated by financial restrictions but not only by that. The most important thing is that the team is right and our financial situation is right as well.
Wenger was also asked about the latest comments from Barcelona regarding Cesc. As per usual Xavi has been bleating to the press about how Cesc is 'suffering', although for some reason he didn't mention anything about DNA, which prompted the manager to respond:
What is important is that Cesc Fabregas is contracted to Arsenal. That is a fact. Arsenal wants to keep him and all the rest is comment. If I found Barcelona in exactly the same position, I believe a mutual respect between the clubs should stop this kind of comment. If it is true then it is very disrespectful and it is not the first time that Xavi has been disrespectful to Arsenal.
That the comments were published on Barcelona's official website will have only added to the manager's anger, I suspect, and once again it's a demonstration that for all their on-pitch prowess they appear to be run by a pack of bumbling halfwits. It was stuff like this which added to Arsenal's resolve last summer and ultimately it's going to make any negotiation with Arsenal over a transfer more difficult. Whatever way you look at it they're playing their hand badly.
They still haven't come close to match Arsenal's valuation of him and perhaps, if the Barcelona players have to talk at all, they might give us their public thoughts on why their President won't pay what Cesc is worth? They all think he's a fantastic player, and they're right, so why do they think they should get a fantastic player on the cheap?
Isn't it an insult to Cesc to offer less than he's worth or to say you want him but then to spend a large percentage of your transfer kitty on someone else? I am tired of hearing Xavi talk but I'd listen to what he had to say about that. Anyway, bottom line is nothing has changed.
Back to us and the team head off to China now to play a game on Saturday against Hangzhou Greentown, before returning to continue the pre-season preparations in more familiar surroundings.
Not a lot else going on. There are some whispers about Nicklas Bendtner and Fulham, although nothing concrete there, and beyond that it's pretty quiet when it comes to transfer ins and outs. Well, relatively speaking, of course. The actual football seems to be the focus which, you have to say, is no bad thing at all.
Further reading can be found this morning with Tim Stillman's latest column.
And if you're a football team and you're a bit rubbish and would like to learn how to give away four goal leads, lose cup finals to twats, conceded goals from every corner you face and also beat Barcelona, then perhaps a training day at Arsenal would be just the thing for you. Simply go here and watch the video to find out how you can enter the competition.
Right, have at it, more tomorrow.

Hexion has set up a quality management system that complies with the requirements of DIN EN ISO 9001 and an environmental management system that complies with the requirements of DIN EN ISO 14001. Conformity with the standard and the effectiveness of the two management systems are under continuous supervision by an external inspection organisation and confirmed in certificates.
To ensure uniform product quality, all raw materials used are subject to qualified incoming control. In manufacturing, both the raw materials used and the process parameters are documented so that they can be traced back at any time. In a final control, various product properties (flow/hardness properties, materials parameters) are systematically compiled, documented and, if desired, enclosed with the delivery papers in the form of acceptance test certificates (DIN EN 10204).

Scale on Potted Palm
After treating potted palm for scale with a mixture of water, rubbing alcohol, and dishsoap, the insects appear to be dead. However, the leaves are dry and slowly browning. Was I too late? Will this have a chance of recovery, or shall I throw it away? Can a four-five foot tree grow back fronds if I cut them off at the stem? It was purchased at Home Depot, so it is a common variety, perhaps Majestic. Two others purchased at the same time are doing well inside for the winter (Chicago). They were outside for the summer months as well, but didn't pick up any pests.
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
The alcohol can dry out the leaves if used too much, which may be what's caused the drying leaves. A safer alternative for treating scale is neem oil. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/pesticides/neem-oil-uses.htm

Over the years, JIRA has grown from a simple bug tracking system designed for engineers to manage their projects to an all-purpose issue tracking solution. As it has matured over time, JIRA has become more than an application, it has transformed into a platform, with a suite of other products that are built on it, enabling it to adapt and deliver value to a wide variety of use cases.
JIRA 6 is the latest major release of JIRA and its product family. It comes with new features that include support for service desk applications and enhancements made to existing features such as providing flexible and robust workflow design and agile methodology support. In this book, we will cover all the basics of JIRA and its core capabilities as a feature-rich, issue-tracking system, as well as add-ons that add additional features to the JIRA platform.
Packed with real-life examples and step-by-step instructions, this book will help you become a JIRA expert.
This book is organized into eleven chapters. The first chapter starts with setting up your own JIRA, and the subsequent chapters will introduce key features and concepts. With each chapter, you will learn important concepts such as business processes, workflows, e-mails, and notifications. You will also have the opportunity to put your newly-acquired knowledge into practice by following a live JIRA sample implementation.
Chapter 1, Getting Started with JIRA, serves as the starting point of the book and aims to guide you to set up a local copy of a JIRA application that will be used throughout the book. For seasoned JIRA experts, this will both refresh your knowledge and also introduce you to the changes in JIRA 6. By the end of this chapter, you should have a running JIRA application.
Chapter 2, Project Management, covers how to set up projects and project-related administration tasks in JIRA. The concept of schemes is also introduced as it is the core concept of JIRA administration.
Chapter 3, Issue Management, covers everything related to issue creation and the operations that can be performed on an issue (excluding workflow transitions). Furthermore, this chapter touches on the various aspects of issues, as they are the focal point of JIRA. This chapter also serves as an opportunity to show and allow you to set up dummy data that will be used by the sample project.
Chapter 4, Field Management, covers how JIRA collects data through the use of fields and how to expand on this ability through the use of custom fields. This chapter then continues with the various behaviors that can be configured for fields.
Chapter 5, Screen Management, builds on the preceding chapter and explores the concept of screens and how users can create and manage their own screens. This chapter ties in all the previous chapters to show the power behind JIRA's screen design capabilities.
Chapter 6, Workflows and Business Processes, explores the most powerful feature offered by JIRA, workflows. The concept of issue life cycles is introduced, and various aspects of workflows explained. This chapter also explores the relationship between workflows and other various JIRA aspects that have been previously covered, such as screens. The concept of JIRA extensions is also briefly touched in the sample project, using some popular free extensions.
Chapter 7, E-mails and Notifications, focuses on how to get automatic e-mail notifications from JIRA and explores the different settings that can be applied. This is a very important and powerful feature of JIRA and also a critical part of the example project featured in this book. This chapter also ties in the workflow chapter and explains in detail how JIRA manages its notification mechanism.
Chapter 8, Securing JIRA, focuses on the different security control features offered by JIRA. As this topic affects all aspects of JIRA, all previous topics are touched on, explaining how security can be applied to each. It also covers LDAP integration, where you can hook up your JIRA with an existing LDAP system for user management.
Chapter 9, Searching, Reporting, and Analysis, focuses on how data captured in JIRA can be retrieved to provide various types of reporting features. It also covers the changes introduced in JIRA 6.
Chapter 10, JIRA Service Desk, covers the new JIRA Service Desk product, an add-on to transform JIRA into a fully-fledged service desk solution. It looks at installing add-ons, setting up service desks, and defining custom SLA metrics.
Chapter 11, Advanced Features, covers advanced features that can help to change your JIRA into more than just a traditional issue tracking system. It looks at how you can run agile projects with JIRA through the use of JIRA Agile and how you can turn JIRA into an effective feedback collection system.
The installation package used in this book will be the Windows Installer standalone distribution, which you can get directly from Atlassian at http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/download.
You will also need additional software, including Java SDK, which you can get from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html and MySQL, which you can get from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads.
If you want to get started with JIRA, and learn how to install, use, and manage your instance, then this is the perfect book for you.
You will need to be familiar with basic computer operations, specifically the system on which you will use JIRA, and software project management. Familiarity with agile methodologies such as Scrum will also be useful. For the first chapter, we will assume you are familiar with the operating system you are going to install JIRA on.
In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.
Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows:
open the server.xml file in a text editor from the JIRA_INSTALL/conf directory.
A block of code is set as follows:
Any command-line input or output is written as follows:
grant all on jiradb.* to 'jirauser'@'localhost' identified by 'jirauser';
New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this:
select the Simple Issue Tracking project template and click on the Next button.
Warnings or important notes appear in a box like this.
Tips and tricks appear like this.

In this chapter, we will start with a high-level view of JIRA, going through each of the components that make up the overall application. We will then examine the various deployment options, system requirements for JIRA 6, and platforms/software that are supported. Finally, we will get our hands dirty by installing our very own JIRA 6 from scratch, with the newly improved installation wizard. In the end, we will also cover some post-installation steps, such as setting up SSL to secure your new instance.
By the end of this chapter, you will have learned about the following:
The overall architecture of JIRA
The basic hardware and software requirements to deploy and run JIRA
Platforms and applications supported by JIRA
Installing JIRA and all of the required software
Post-installation configuration options to customize your JIRA
Installing JIRA is simple and straightforward. However, it is important for you to understand the components that make up the overall architecture of JIRA and the installation options available. This will help you make an informed decision and be better prepared for future maintenance and troubleshooting.
Atlassian provides a comprehensive overview of the JIRA architecture at https://developer.atlassian.com/display/JIRADEV/JIRA+Architectural+Overview. However, for day-to-day administration and usage of JIRA, we do not need to go into details; the information provided can be overwhelming at first glance. For this reason, we have summarized a high-level overview that highlights the most important components in the architecture, as shown in the following figure:
JIRA is a web application, so there is no need for users to install anything on their machines. All they need is a web browser that is compatible with JIRA. The following table summarizes the browser requirements for JIRA:
The application services layer contains all the functions and services provided by JIRA. These services include various business functions, such as workflow and notification, which will be discussed in depth in Chapter 6, Workflows and Business Processes and Chapter 7, E-mails and Notifications, respectively. Other services such as REST/Web Service provide integration points to other applications The OSGi service provides the base add-on framework to extend JIRA's functionalities.
The data storage layer stores persistent data in several places within JIRA. Most business data, such as projects and issues, are stored in a relational

Some Companies Get Customer Experience Right for Federal Workers Affected by the Government Shutdown
The government shutdown has lasted more than 30 days. In that time, federal workers have lived with job insecurity and uncertainty, no pay, and financial challenges as result.
We don't need to get into the politics of the shutdown for this discussion. The effects to 800,000 federal workers are real — working without pay, facing evictions, overdraft fees, bounced payments, downgraded credit, obstacles to health care and prescription access, cancelled utility service and food insecurity. And in response, some companies are saying: thanks for your business, but return when you can pay for services — despite the circumstances representing a national crisis to no fault of those workers.
Others are stepping up to the plate to offer unique exceptions to customers facing unique circumstances with national exposure. Aside from gaining potential lifetime loyalty from customers who have unusually positive experiences attached to negative experiences in their life, but they're also gaining national media attention for going above and beyond their explicit call of duty to provide goods and services in transactional fashion.
Kraft Heinz opened a free popup grocery store with essential food items for federal workers, requesting that workers "pay it forward" and give back when they receive their back pay. Some workers are using food banks to meet immediate needs and received critical support from Kraft in a trying time. What do you think their impression will be of the brand in the future?
Communications companies like AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile, for example, have all said they will waive late fees for workers impacted by the shutdown and work with them on payment plans to stay current.
Airbnb announced they will provide federal workers with "A Night on Us" — where federal workers who host a renter in their home for three nights to bring in extra income will receive an additional $110 (an extra night of rent) from the company. PayPal is offering $500 interest-free cash advances for federal workers, and Rosetta Stone offered federal workers a free 3-month subscription to broaden horizons and brush up on language skills while out of work.
These are just a few examples of how some companies are understanding the customer experience can go beyond meeting the exact terms of the transactions that drive the business.
If we put this challenge to business in the context of experience management (XM), here are a few thoughts:
Brand Experience (BX): In many ways, this is the epicenter of companies looking to create solutions for federal workers affected by the shutdown. Any company that does not do the right thing here can face serious impacts to long-term reputation. Sometimes experience memories can last the lifetime of the customer or the company — and companies going above and beyond are reaping positive brand association for finding altruistic solutions during national turmoil.
Customer Experience (CX): Does your business have a strategy for addressing the unique concerns of your customers that are federal workers? Not only should you have accommodations for these customers, but also you should make it easy for them. Make it clear that you were prepared. The best kind of customer experience goes above and beyond. Some ways that you can do this is by proactively reaching out to customers that are federal workers. Create processes to apply for payment deferrals. Find something you can give them in their time of need. This may be counterintuitive, but they will eventually be paid and so will you. This approach can create customers for life and counteract the negative publicity associated with doing nothing.
Employee Experience (EX): Many in the XM field have come to realize the critical importance of employee experience, including that their engagement, commitment and attitude towards you can have a significant impact on the experience they deliver to customers. How will employees feel if, due to rigid and inflexible policies, a coast guard officer went into default while she was on a deployment? How will employees feel when they have to be the messengers of those policies? Employees want to work for companies they believe in. Organizational policies and actions impact how employees feel about working for those organizations. The extra mile here isn't making accommodations for federal workers — that's the new bar. To go above and beyond, try to identify employees that have a spouse, sibling or child affected by the shutdown and help them out. Think about how that might impact your employees' perception of you.
Digital Experience (DX): Digital offers a huge opportunity to engage with those affected and communicate to the broader community what you are doing to help. For an example: The below page is currently the home screen for USAA. Whether prominently featured on your website, integrated into your chatbots, messaging on your intranet, or updating your digital reminders and communications — a lot can be done in the digital space to address the specific needs of federal workers.
In the case of USAA, the digital experience is just one aspect of experience management. The company is also donating $15 million dollars in interest-free loans to federal workers affected by the shutdown. The digital experience is one way of communicating the efforts to improve the experience affected workers have with USAA during this time.
It is heartbreaking to see stories about government workers impacted by this shutdown — and especially so when they face rigid and unaccommodating corporate practices that result in unnecessary hardships during already difficult times. Companies creating flexible solutions for customers facing unusually challenging circumstances are not only potentially gaining customers for life in those they're helping personally, but public goodwill that could last for years for observers and other customers with strong feelings about corporate responsibility.

- Leo Varadkar, the Irish Prime Minister, has said that President Donald J. Trump is welcome to visit Ireland.
- Alluding to Trump's plans to build a wall between Mexico and the U.S., Varadkar suggested he show Trump the border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
- There have been no recent discussions with the US administration regarding a visit.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said the invitation to US President Donald Trump still stands.
Last St Patrick's Day, his predecessor Enda Kenny extended the invitation to the newly elected president.
Following a meeting at the US Chamber of Commerce in Washington, Varadkar was asked if he stood over the invite.
"The invitation that Enda Kenny made to Donald Trump stands. Donald Trump has invited me to Washington DC and he is going to invite me to his house. I think it is absolutely appropriate, it's normal hospitality, that when somebody invites you to their front room in their house that you reciprocate with an invitation," he said.
If Trump does take up the offer, Varadkar said he would like to show him the border with Northern Ireland.
The comment about the border comes just a day after the president visited the site of eight prototypes for his planned wall along the border with Mexico.
'Invitation still stands'
"The invitation absolutely still stands. I'm not into golf, so I won't be playing a round at Doonbeg, but perhaps there will be an opportunity to potentially visit some of the Irish companies that invest in the US, and also as well perhaps to see the border between Northern Ireland and Ireland," said the Taoiseach, adding:
"I know that's something he expressed an interest in when we spoke on the phone some months ago. He was very interested in that."
Varadkar said there has been no discussions with the US administration about a visit.
"He has invited me as Taoiseach, Prime Minister of Ireland, to visit him in the White House and of course I intend to reciprocate," he concluded.
When asked about the Taoiseach's comments in Washington today, Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald said:
"Seeing the border at first hand certainly makes it very real for people in terms of Brexit."
"It is a 300 mile border with multiple crossings and I think anyone who has seen that border will understand that some of the fantastical ideas from the British government around frictionless trade are simply nonsense."
Reacting to the Taoiseach's invite, People Before Profit TD Richard Boyd Barrett said that he is appalled that Varadkar will extend an invitation to Donald Trump to come to Ireland.
He said: "For An Taoiseach to extend an invitation to Donald Trump to visit Ireland is appalling."
"Donald Trump is promoting racist, sexist and warmongering policies that represent a danger to the entire world," he said, adding that if Trump does come to Dublin he will be met with mass demonstrations.

Good game, but you should get more than one chance. It doesn't really matter how many upgrades you get, if you run out of time, you lose them all and you have to start over again.

Hi kids!
And yes, the fire alarm went off AGAIN this year. And yes, I barely saw ANYBODY leave the concert, everybody just waited around for them to turn the alarm off. I don't even think the band stopped playing. The lesson here is that if there ever really IS a fire at MAGFest, no one will even begin to leave the building until their very clothes start to burn. I won't tell the fire marshal if you won't.
...and no, I did NOT just stand around in the audience like everybody else. I was SITTING.

Hyperbuildings & ultra-/supertalls
In the past, the sky was absolutely the limit and many hyperbuildings and ultratalls were proposed. Tokyo was one of the leading cities of proposing mega structures which were never built, for example these buildings:
X-Seed 4000, 4 km(!) and 800 floors:
- This is the tallest building ever envisioned, at 4000 meters high with 800 floors.
TRY 2004, 2004 m:
Aeropolis, 2001 m and 500 floors:
M.O.T.H.E.R., 1321 m and 220 floors:
Hyper Building, 1000 m:
- With services to house up to 100,000 people, the Hyper Building is a city unto itself. Resources are recycled to reduce the impact on the environment.
Sky City 1000, 1000m and 196 floors:
- With a height of 1,000 meters and a total floor area of 800 hectares, SKY CITY 1000 is a superhigh-rise city comprising 14 concave dish-shaped, aerial bases called, "Space Plateaus" stacked one upon the other.
- Residences, offices, commercial facilities, schools, theaters and so forth are organically located in these spaces.
- 35,000 people will reside here, and 100,000 people will work here.
- Since the announcement of this concept in 1989, it has attracted attention throughout the world, and on the threshold of the next millennium, there are increasing expectations for its realization.
- Fire simulations are being examined to estimate the threat to the 35,000 residents.
- Triple decker high speed elevators, which will hold up to 70 people, are now being designed at experimental labs outside of Tokyo.
- Each Space Plateau will have its own train circumnavigating the plateau.
- Tokyo's only Fire Helicopter is now being used in exercise drills to test the ability to fight fires in such a tall structure.
The Spiral, 1000 m and 200 floors:
- One of many hyperproject proposals that Tokyo is considering as a solution to everlasting urban congestion.
- This building would recycle some 90% of its waste internally thus being a very clean and ecologically sustainable building in the long run.
picture: http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=103141
Seiren 21, 930 m and 180 floors:
Dynamic Intelligent Building, 800 m, 200 floors:
Millenium Tower, 840 m and 180 floors:
- Developed in response to the hurricane-strength wind forces and earthquakes for which the region is notorious, the tower's conical structure, with its helical steel cage, is inherently stable.
- Rising out of Tokyo Bay, two kilometres offshore, the tower is capable of housing a community of up to 60,000 people, generating its own energy and processing its own waste.
- With its own transportation system, this vertical city quarter would be self-sustaining and virtually self-sufficient.
- The lower levels accommodate offices, light manufacturing and 'clean' industries such as consumer electronics. Above are apartments, while the topmost section houses communications systems and wind and solar generators, interspersed with restaurants and viewing platforms to exploit the spectacular views.
Holonic Tower, 600 m and 120 floors:
- Holonic Tower is a supermultifacility building in which the concept of "holon" is used not only in design and construction, but is also carried through as far as the variety of systems for operation.
- Furthermore, this tower does not have all of its spaces filled up with facilities, but instead has a multilevel structure incorporating voids. Through these voids, air and light flow into the building in abundance, providing an attractive living space where people can enjoy a dramatic experience by looking at it or living in it.
Shimizu Super High Rise, 550 m:
- Designed to demonstrate the feasibility of building such a tall habitable structure in an area vulnerable to strong earthquakes and typhoons.
- The design called for a tower in 3 even parts, divided by sloped setbacks. The plan was an 8-pointed star with X-braces at the corners on the lower two-thirds.
- The crowning feature of the design was a large heliport, supported by a trussed structure at the tower's peak.
Most of the pictures here are coming from: http://www.hokuriku-shinbun.com/hokuriku/kensetu/mirai/
And the most of the information is coming from Emporis.
I saw a list on the internet showing much more buildings, visions and proposed, of unknown heights. This is the list, and many towers are unknown to me.

As you can see this list is not complete, Dubai, some visions for Bangkok or Istanbul are not on the list etc.
Some of them are well known, some of them not. Some of them are built in another height or form. But the most aren't well known, so:
Has anyone got pictures or more information about them?
This topic is for ultratalls and hyperbuildings, cities inside one buildings, megastructures and not for towers u/c. Thank you.

The problem with these two, if they where in Tokyo, would be that their bases take up too much land $$$$$$ That is alot of money and space.

To built X-Seed i see only one solution: artifical island. There is impossible to find so much unused land in Tokyo.
But where is Burj Dubai, Al-Burj, Freedom Tower, Guangzhou TV Tower, and Frondham Spire?

The X-Seed 4000 is very impressive and the design resembles a strato-volcano. But I prefer Sir Norman Foster's Millennium Tower in Tokyo.
There was even a plan that the Millennium Tower will be built in Hong Kong instead of Tokyo!
But the Bionic Tower is the actual visionary building planned for HK

Hexahedron City Scottsdale, USA, 2100 M 200 floors Paolo Soleri:
Hyperbuilding, Paolo Soleri. Height 1000 M:
Illinois Mile High Tower, Chicago, 1609 M 528 floors, Frank Lloyd Wright:
In 1956, the visionary architect Frank Lloyd Wright sketched out plans for The Illinois (right), a mile-high skyscraper that would accommodate 100,000 people, parking for 15,000 cars and enough office space to house the entire state government. Sheathed in aluminum and stainless steel, Wright's 528-story edifice could have been built, he believed, with available technology. But a significant barrier stood in the way: the required elevators would have taken up too much space. source

How big would be X-Seed base?
Sky City (1000m) would have 400 m wide base. Following that X-Seed which would be 4000m high would have 1600m wide base. But on these pictures it looks almost the same wide at base as high.
BTW: Is X-Seed some serius plan with dimensions, or just vision pictures?

I'm pretty sure X-Seed is just a vision/fantasy/concept. 800 floors is way too excessive and would never see a profit if constructed any time soon.
