WHAT IS IT? The 2014 Yamaha YZ250F's water pump had a weak link in its design. The shaft that held the impeller and water-pump gear located itself via a drift pin that was inserted through a hole in the shaft.
Unfortunately, the shaft would often break at the hole.
Netherlands-based Splitstream experienced this problem often because of the high-load sand tracks of Holland. So, Splitstream made a special YZ250F water-pump shaft and impeller from high-grade steel, and it doesn't have a hole in it. Best of all, you can order it with the stock impeller or with an oversized impeller to flow more water.
$259.95 (Hi-Flow impeller and spacer plate), $148.95 (KTM, Yamaha, Kawasaki Hi-Flow impellers and spacers).
CONTACT? www.motostuff.com or (503) 830-6433.
WHAT STANDS OUT? Here's a list of things that stand out with Splitstream's Hi-Flow YZ250F water pump kit.
(1) Problem. Once the stock impeller shaft breaks, it is too late to do anything about it. You might hear some clatter, but most likely you won't know what happened until your YZ250F seizes from lack of water. To Yamaha's credit, it sent out replacement parts as part of a recall earlier this summer. Did you get one?
( 2) Stepping up. Splitstream makes a billet-steel impeller shaft with an alloy impeller that is vastly superior to Yamaha's plastic impeller. Plus, you can get Splitstream's oversized impeller in a Hi-Flow version.
( 3) Hi-Flow kit. The Hi-Flow kit includes the billet shaft, upsized impeller, spare gaskets, spacer plate (to increase the water-pump cover size) and longer bolts. The Hi-Flow kit reduces average water temperatures by 15 degrees to allow for harder and longer riding times. This product was developed in Holland because of the high-temperature loads associated with sand tracks.
( 4) Installation. The hardest part of installing the Splitstream kit is removing the stock Yamaha impeller, which requires removing the right side case. Unlike the Splitstream kit, where the impeller threads onto the billet shaft, the stock impeller is bonded to the shaft and can't be removed until you take the system apart. The most important step is removing the drift pin and the wire spring clip that hold the shaft in place. Once you get the old impeller and shaft out of the cases, the Splitstream shaft and gear can be installed and the oversized impeller threaded on (with a dab of low-threshold Loc-Tite). Reuse the original water pump cover gasket with the supplied gasket to move the water-pump cover over enough to clear the larger impeller.
WHAT'S THE SQUAWK? Removing the stocker is hard.
What's not to like? It eliminates a potential failure and keeps the engine cooler.

Croatia // South Dalmatia // South-Dalmatia islands (Lastovo)
Lastovo's old town is located under high peaks which form the base of the amphitheatrically shaped settlement. The town consists of medieval family houses full of character dating from the 15th and 16th centuries. Each house is featured with Lastovo's famous trademark chimneys known as Fumari . The chimney tops are each distinct in appearance and are decorated with cone tops, animal horns or portrait busts of a neighbor's head meant to mock them which (as some may consider) could be reflecting on the "thick skin" or good humor of the islanders still present today. Some houses also feature terraces called Sulari which give a beautiful view of each side of the town. Stone steps or Skalinade branch through the houses and lead to the main church and centre.
What to do / What to see? (22)
Private accommodation (3)
Lastovo was first mentioned in written sources by the lexicographer Stephen the Byzantine. Theopompus (4th century B.C.) referred to it as Ladesta and Ladeston while the '-est' suffix – typically used in names of Illyrian places on the Adriatic coast – suggests that it may have been named by the ancient Illyrians.
Early in history, Greek sailors sailing with their products to Illyria named the island Ladesta, Ladeston or Ladoston, because of its similarities to the island Lado in the Ionic sea. A Greek variant of the name of its inhabitants Ladestanos, reveals that the Dorians also inhabited the island in the past. The name was then Latinized by the Romans who named it Augusta Insula translating to 'The Emperor's Island'. In the Middle Ages it was known as Augusta Lagusta and Lagosta. The modern term incorporates the Roman form 'Lasta', coupled with the Slavic suffix '-ovo'.
The earliest traces of life were found in the Rača Cave which are thought to be from the Bronze Age. The island was inhabited by the Slavs and Narentines who were such a strong force that they proved to be a major impediment to the safety of navigation for the Venetian fleet between the 7th and 8th centuries. For this reason, Doge Peter Orseolo II conquered the island in 998 A.D. and completely destroyed its settlements. The survivors either left the island or moved to the current location of the main town, Lastovo.
Lastovo's turbulent history is further evident from its frequent change of rulers and governing power. In the 11th and 12th centuries Lastovo was controlled by the medieval state of Zahumlje. In the late 12th century, the Hungarian-Croatian kings declared themselves the island's rulers. In 1252, Lastovo was annexed by the Republic of Dubrovnik and in 1310, the city was granted autonomy and their own Statute.
In the 13th century, Lastovo voluntarily joined to the Dubrovnik Republic after the Republic promised that it would honor Lastovo's internal autonomy and traditions. Lastovo's Statute provides evidence that Lastovo gained autonomy in 1310 and only partially lost it in 1486. The continuous limitation of the island's autonomy and higher taxes led to a rebellion in 1602. Venice occupied the island the following year and held on to it until 1606 when it was returned to Ragusa (Dubrovnik Republic). The next attempt at rebellion was in 1652 which resulted in a complete loss of the island's autonomy.
In 1806 the French abolished the Republic of Ragusa and Lastovo became a part of the French Empire.
The British took over in 1813 and occupied the island until 1815 when it became a part of the Habsburg Empire.
Austria brought progress. New lighthouses, census, assets inventory, safe administration and tax management mark the new, better era.
Political changes in Europe followed by WWI and WWII left Lastovo dependent on the will of temporary governments.
The Italian occupation of Lastovo began in November of 1918 and lasted until September of 1943.
In 1945, Lastovo became part of the Federal Peoples' Republic of Yugoslavia and in 1952, part of the new Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Republic Croatia declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1991. However, Peoples' Army of Yugoslavia didn't leave their military bases on Lastovo until July 1992 which brought the end to any foreign governance over Lastovo and Croatia.

The day you say, "I do" will undoubtedly be overflowing with love, tears, nerves, emotions, and happiness. It's a big day that'll also be filled with excitement and activities, and for that reason, it can become very easy to forget to take care of something or leave an important item behind as you head to the ceremony.
After months of planning, you don't want your wedding day to come crashing down because of something you forgot. So here are five things to make sure you have with you and five things to remember to do the morning you tie the knot.
Unless you're rocking a velvet suit—and in that case, all the more power to you—you'll probably need some choice accessories to punch up your attire and get it to reflect your personality. When choosing what tie and pocket square to wear for the big day, make sure they coordinate without directly matching. For instance, they can have a similar color palette, but should never be the exact same color or pattern. Your pocket square can be a fun motif like Rare Fold's The Fine Apples or a bold hue to match the color scheme of your wedding—really, it's up to you. Just be sure it's folded in a way that is neat and sophisticated, so the square doesn't end up looking like an afterthought rather than a star.
Many brides and grooms choose to give each other a small gift and note the morning of the wedding before they see each other. Trust us, this will go a long way in building a future of having a happy wife and happy life. Think about a perfume or piece of jewelry she can wear as she walks down the aisle; it'll be something she treasures for years to come. If you choose to do this, just make sure to bring it with you or have someone in her party ready to deliver it. While she'll still appreciate the gesture a day or two late, it'll save yourself the disappointment if you leave it on the kitchen counter, and she won't get it until after the honeymoon.
Last, but definitely not least, don't forget the wedding rings! You can usually entrust the best man to take care of these, but if he doesn't already have them, make sure you do. If he does have them, check in with him in the morning before your vows to make sure he has the rings safe, secure, and en route to the ceremony.
You're about to take a huge—and totally rewarding—step with your bride-to-be, so it makes sense that there will be some nerves. Take a couple hours to do something for yourself and relax those nerves. That can mean getting a couple extra winks of sleep, playing a round of golf with your groomsmen, watching a morning football game, getting in a last-minute haircut and shave at the barber, or even hitting the morning swells alone. You want to be your best, happiest, most relaxed self when you say, "I do." Just make sure you're back and done with whatever it is you decide to do with plenty of time to get ready.
Speaking of getting ready, today is not a day you'll be able to get away with rolling out of bed and down the aisle. Plan for enough time in the morning to fully shower, shave if necessary, style your hair, and get dressed. If any part of your ceremony or reception is going to be outside, don't forget to slap on some sunscreen. It's an important moment for you, and you should look your best.
It's going to be a big day, and by big, we mean busy. There's a very high chance you'll be so caught up in the magic and excitement of what's to come that you'll forget to actually sit down and eat. A hearty breakfast or brunch will keep you from becoming hangry later in the day, so make time to have something smart to eat before the ceremony. Just stay away from onions, garlic, fish, or anything else that may be a bit odoriferous—remember, the ceremony ends with a kiss, and you don't want your bride to end up queasy.
Along the same line of eating, make sure you're hydrating. And we don't mean with beer or liquor. Drink water as often as you can. Most of the day will involve toasts (with alcohol, likely), and you don't want to be dealing with a hangover the first day of your honeymoon.
There's probably a well-thought-out itinerary floating around your house or hotel room—take a second to look it over. You don't want to end up walking into the wrong entrance (and risk running into the bride), mix up venue locations, or give anyone a scare because you're running late. You also don't want to be constantly asking your new wife what's happening next. This would be the time to read through and recite your vows out loud as well; it'll calm your nerves a bit and help you get it together when it counts.
As you're planning your wedding day and pulling your look together, don't forget to visit Rare Fold online to purchase a pocket square for your big day.

The 360fly is a 360-degree effect camera that is shockproof and waterproof (up to 35 Meters) when the microphone is locked. It also has a protection rating of IP67 which means it's also dustproof. As for executing angles, the 360fly offers 360 degrees horizontally and 240 degrees vertically, plus videos can be scaled down to standard 16:9 style or to a still image. The camera doesn't capture 4K but there is a 4K version available, should you prefer, which is priced at £479.
Three Nikon Corporation (株式会社ニコン, Kabushiki-gaisha Nikon) (UK: or US: ; listen [ɲikoɴ]), also known just as Nikon, is a Japanese multinational KeyMission performance cameras also have considerable amounts of cash knocked off their RRPs over on Amazon UK but they are all currently out of stock. However, it's value keeping an eye on the listings to see if they do become available again as there are at least £100 savings to be had on the Nikon KeyMisson 360, Nikon KeyMisson 170 and Nikon KeyMisson 80.

The Barbara Walters Campus Center: A Work In Progress
November 12, 2017 / Micaela Eckett
The projected view of the campus center from glen washington. take from sarahlawrence.edu
At the end of October, President Cristle Collins Judd held information sessions to update the Sarah Lawrence Community on the status of the Barbara Walters Campus Center. In the sessions, President Judd shared details on the design of the new building while also addressing what's next in the construction process.
The new $35 million building, to which Barbara Walters donated a generous $15 million, is set to be the biggest addition to Sarah Lawrence since the college purchased Hill House. With an innovative design, a focus on sustainability, and more student space, plans for the Campus Center are bound to impress.
The new Campus Center has one main function: to serve as a utility for the students. More student space, better dining accommodations and an innovative, modern look to match Heimbold are all features included in the design of the new building. The blueprints also detail a "Green roof", covered in grass, benches and a terrace. The project is focused a lot around sustainability. Builders plan to use locally sourced and recycled material for both the center and its furnishings. Some of the eco-friendly features include LED lighting and natural gas for heating and cooling.
And when the center isn't being used for student purposes, the cities of Yonkers and Bronxville are free to organize events to be held in it, typically ones that require larger venues, since the Campus Center will be the biggest facility of its kind in either town.
The new dining accommodations will replace the Pub, leaving that space completely empty. At this point, future plans for the Pub space are undeveloped. The same goes for certain spaces in Bates. As some of the student spaces from that building will be moved to the Campus Center areas left vacant will eventually be repurposed.
One important detail is that Yonkers is still refusing to allow SLC to create non-gendered bathrooms in the new Campus Center. However, our new president has ensured that she is still fighting for Yonkers to lift that law and let Sarah Lawrence continue to try and accommodate our large LGBTQ community. In Ms. Collins Judd's words, Yonkers just "wasn't ready to wrap their brains around that" yet.
While the battle for non-gendered bathrooms continues, the battle for the old cherry tree on the construction sight has come to an end, and it will be torn down. To appease those students who were fighting to save the tree, parts of the tree were taken in order for the campus to replant more cherry trees. The wood from the tree itself will be re-used.
One other concern some students have is the possible increase in smoking congregation outside of the new Campus Center. When asked about the issue, Ms. Collins Judd replied that Yonkers, not SLC, owns Glenn Washington, therefore smoking on the sidewalks and in the streets can't be regulated by the campus.
Another potential concern arises in designated parking areas. The new Campus Center will take over at least half of the space in Andrew's lot. Losing this parking space is concerning enough, but given that the new campus center will be available for public events, it is likely more parking will be required than Andrew's Lot even housed originally. Neighboring residents even have signs on their lawns in protest of "turning their yards into parking lots."Some residents have even come up to Sarah Lawrence students during peaceful walks through the neighborhood and angrily confronted them about letting the Campus Center be built.Despite these concerns, the college seems confident in their ability to adequately address them, as they are moving forward with construction.
The ceremonial groundbreaking is set for January 18th, and construction will begin immediately after. During construction, the campus will be notified of the loudest workdays, which will be Mondays through Fridays, with occasional weekends.
By Fall 2018, all of the external construction is scheduled to be finished, and the interior work should be done by Spring 2019. If all goes according to plan, the new Campus Center is will officially open in August of 2019.

Ocean biodiversity changing
Two articles published in Nature today and reviewed by The Scientist (http://www.the-scientist.com/?articles.view/articleNo/29161/title/Ocean-life-support-dwindling/) point to climate-induced (most probably) changes in marine biodiversity, including reduced numbers of phytoplankton, which are the basis of all marine ecosystems.

Introducing Behran Asanbar
With a deep focus on processes including the turning and repairing of elevator parts, Behran Asanbar started its business operation in 1989 in a small 40-meter workshop in Tehran. Just four years later, in 1993, the company moved to a larger workshop with an area of 100 square meters in Tehran's Hashemi neighborhood. With an increase in their knowledge and experience, the company's founders developed their business scope in 1997 and this time they moved to a new workshop with an area of 250 square meters in Shad Abad Street in Tehran.
In yet another development, the small company of Behran Asanbar moved to a larger workshop (1200 square meter) located in the former Tehran-Karaj main highway. Here in this new workshop, the company's founders got down to the idea of implementation of their old notion of manufacturing elevator gearbox motor drive. This comes as they, step by step, also developed two more new ideas of production of gearless motor drive as well as the elevator parts and components, all carrying the band name Behran Asanabr.
And this is the exact place of change; a date from which on Behran Asanbar has doubled and even tripled its pace of change from a small company to a giant one in the elevator and escalator industrial section of Iran. An increase in the production lines of the elevator parts and components and consequently the need for a larger scale site for the company's business operation caused Behran Asanbar to establish a factory with an area of 11,000 square meters in Parand Industrial Estate with the aim of transferring all its manufacturing industrial undertakings to this new vast venue. Now today with more than 30 years of unremitting efforts, Behran Asanbar, as the prominent leader in the field of elevator and escalator industry in Iran, is operating in an area of about 110,000 square meters with more than 1,200 manpower inside.

The Inauguration of Gearbox Motor Drive Production Line
The Establishment of Behran Industrial Group
Why Behran Asanbar
With more than three decades of constant business operations, Behran Asanbar has the longest history of strong presence in fields of elevator and escalator and this comes as the company is the first and largest manufacturer of escalator parts and elevator components in Iran.
The company is the first and main choice of many major national projects (e.g., Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKA), Iran's Parliament, Tehran and Tabriz Urban & Suburban Railway Operation Companies, and still many other large commercial centers) all because of reasons including:
• Making use of high quality raw materials;
• Providing customers with advantages supported by Behran Golden Guarantee;
• Being responsive and adherent to all its business commitments;
• Being accessible countrywide via its branches and agencies;
• Being the largest national (Made In Iran) manufacturer;
• Providing customers (Up to 14,000 people) with permanent access to required parts and components;
• Enjoying high quality products with reasonable prices;
• Being representative to prominent European brands while being a serious competitor;
• Providing deep convincing replies to any received complaints and criticisms.
National Production (Made In Iran)
As the largest national manufacturer of escalator parts and elevator components and also as the biggest producer of complete packages for the elevator and escalator, Behran is proud to have the approval from the side of a majority of customers over the years. This honor was came up due to the unremitting efforts the company has devoted to shape its today's strong industrial appearance. Constant availability of its Made-In-Iran parts and components, their high quality and reasonable prices, proper after sales service support, and constant availability of responsive technical staff are among major points Behran focuses on to enhance its support of Made In Iran notion.
While being a manufacturer, Behran plays a leading role in importing escalator parts and elevator components to meet the needs in Iran's Market.
To meet the agenda, Behran, for the past three decades, has developed its ties and connections with a number of influential leaders of the world of elevator and escalator including ZIEHL-ABEGG SE (Germany), Alberto Sassi Spa (Italy), Alberto Sassi Espana SL (Spain), Henning GmbH & Co. KG Schwelm (Germany), P.F.B. Srl (Italy), GEM-General Elevator Machines S.r.l. (Italy), Wittur (Turkey), Nergiz Kablo (Turkey), Dätwyler (China), Gustav Wolf GmbH (Germany), Xizi Elevator Group Co., Ltd. (China,) Metroplast Asansör (Turkey), and still many more.
It is a matter of pride that Behran Industrial Group, as the largest national producer, has been approved by the best of the best national projects; including,
• Building of the Iranian Parliament (Tehran);
• Subway Station of Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKA)(Tehran);
• Shemiran Center (A well-known commercial center in the city of Tehran, Tehran Province);
• Merdas Center (A well-known commercial center in the city of Tehran, Tehran Province);
• Terminal No. 2 (Mehrabad International Airport, Tehran);

HIV testing of pregnant women—what is needed to protect positive women's needs and rights?
With increased availability of antiretroviral therapy, there is an escalating global trend to test all pregnant women for HIV in order to stop perinatal transmission. However, insufficient consideration is given to the impact this may have on the lives of these women and their families. Many women feel pressured into HIV testing during pregnancy, do not receive adequate pre-test counselling or do not give truly informed consent. Some women who test positive experience significantly more discrimination from their partners, families and community members than HIV-positive men do. As a consequence, large numbers of women diagnosed during pregnancy do not tell their husband their status because they fear blame, abandonment or abuse, including physical assault. Women who do disclose their HIV status may face dramatic negative repercussions on their own and their children's wellbeing. Consequently, it is unfair to test women during pregnancy solely or mainly to help prevent perinatal transmission if there are no available support services to protect the women's rights, enable them to live healthy after an HIV-positive diagnosis and engage them in the policies and programmes that affect women's lives. We need to create a climate that encourages HIV testing before pregnancy so that women can make informed reproductive choices. Men must be brought into the testing process through couple counselling before pregnancy and scaling up of voluntary counselling and testing programmes outside the antenatal care setting. In addition, people living with HIV have unique expertise and are very effective as peer counsellors. They have been under-utilised in the health care sector to provide support to newly-diagnosed people and to help eliminate AIDS-related shame and stigma.


More than 20,000 people had their say on controversial plans to shut libraries across Essex.
Essex County Council wants to close a third of its libraries, while it hopes volunteers will run others, in a bid to save £2million.
The plans show 19 libraries out if the 74 in Essex are earmarked to be run by community groups.
County Hall has now confirmed more than 21,000 people responded to its consultation held earlier this year.
There have also been 50 'expressions of interest' by groups wanting to take over the running of libraries.
The council said this included two proposals for brand new locations that have never had a library to call their own.
Interest has been received from pre-schools, parish councils, churches, businesses, charities, care companies, community groups, those interested in forming a community group as well as the University of the Third Age.
Susan Barker, councillor responsible for libraries, said work was underway to progress discussions with the groups.
She said: "We have been delighted with the number and broad range of groups that have come forward with expressions of interest and I am hopeful this number will continue to grow.
"We have now started to engage with these groups and local communities in these areas, however no decisions have been made.
"Detailed proposals and agreement with community groups and organisations is expected to take place following approval of the Final Libraries Strategy."
Campaigners are fighting to save libraries across the county, including at Prettygate, Wivenhoe and Brightlingsea.
The council has argued book loans are down by 52 per cent in the past 10 years and the demand for computers is down 34 per cent in 10 years.
A final decision is expected later this year.
Anyone wanting to make an expression of interest can do so at libraries.essex.gov.uk/libraries-consultation/community-library-services/.


Earlier this week, we told you about how both Acushnet Creamery and New Bedford's Dairy Maid were now carrying edible cookie dough for their customers.
Our first thought was, "Wait, so you mean all the times we've eaten cookie dough before, it wasn't edible?" And as it turns out, we really shouldn't have been eating it. Salmonella, for example, is a very real concern when ingesting raw egg.
But the edible cookie dough eliminates any worry and just gives you doughy, chocolate-y goodness.
Kate and Donna from Acushnet Creamery dropped off some edible cookie dough for us to sample, and gave us the "scoop" on what makes it edible compared to the stuff you may have purchased in the grocery store.
Then, we grabbed a few folks that were in our building (hey, it's not our fault that Abby, Gazelle and Michael Rock all had to be somewhere else) and put it to a taste test. Was it as amazing as we'd hoped it would be?
Let's just say there weren't any leftovers in the office fridge.

Share All sharing options for: New York Giants Training Camp, Week 2: Prince Amukamara Breaks Foot
Training camp has gotten off to a rough start for the New York Giants. Saturday night, things got even worse for Big Blue as first-round pick Prince Amukamara suffered a broken left foot that will require surgery and sideline him for an "undetermined" amount of time.
Amukamara, a cornerback selected 19th overall by the Giants in the 2011 NFL Draft, was participating in just his second practice after a contract holdout that saw him wind up as the final rookie to sign his NFL contract. Amukamara's injury is broken fifth metatarsal bone in his left foot. That same injury sidelined Giants' offensive tackle Will Beatty for seven weeks a season ago.
The Giants have suffered a number of setbacks throughout the early portion of training camp. There is, of course, the ongoing contract squabble with defensive end Osi Umenyiora which has resulted in Umenyiora doing no more than riding a stationary bike thus far during camp. There was Friday's news that Kevin Boss, the team's starting tight end the past three seasons, signed with Oakland as a free agent. There was Thursday night's season-ending Achilles Tendon injury to Bruce Johnson, who was competing for one of the reserve cornerback slots. There have also been the sudden retirements of offensive tackle Herman Johnson and tight end Ben Patrick. Both players were picked up and free agents shortly after training camp began, and shortly thereafter decided to leave.
On top of all of that, the Giants have watched the NFC East rival Philadelphia Eagles and the co-New Meadowlands Stadium inhabitant New York Jets make a several splashy moves.
The Eagles have added cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, defensive end Jason Babin, running back Ronnie Brown, defensive lineman Cullen Jenkins and backup quarterback Vince Young via free agency. The Jets added a pair of wide receivers, former Giant Plaxico Burress and former Baltimore Raven Derrick Mason.
The Giants were able to bring back running back Ahmad Bradshaw and defensive end/linebacker Mathias Kiwanuka . They have also made several small additions aimed at providing depth and competition. Still, this has likely not been the way the Giants hoped to begin the 2011 season.

Q: Twig Navigation macro I'm trying to create a nested navigation menu using a PHP array and outputting it using Twig. I'm using Yii2 as the PHP framework.
My goal to achieve two things:

*

*Add a .active automatically to the nested/children items (they should be able to be deeper than 2 levels).

*Automatically get the parent slug on the item.url, so you don't need to type it out on every child in the array.
Here's the PHP array:
return [
    [
        'label' => 'Home',
        'url' => '/',
    ],
    [
        'label' => 'About',
        'url' => 'about',
        'children' => [
            [
                'label' => 'Secondary 1',
                'url' => 'secondary-1',
            ],
            [
                'label' => 'Secondary 2',
                'url' => 'secondary-2',
            ],
        ],
    ],
    [
        'label' => 'Foo',
        'url' => 'foo',
        'children' => [
            [
                'label' => 'Bar',
                'url' => 'bar',
            ],
        ],
    ],
];

And here's the Twig template code so far:
{% macro nav(navigation) %}
    {% import _self as macros %}

    {% for item in navigation %}
        {% set active = app.request.getPathInfo starts with item.url or item.url == '/' and app.request.getPathInfo is empty %}

            {{ item.label }}
            {% if item.children is iterable %}

                    {{ macros.nav(item.children) }}

            {% endif %}

    {% endfor %}
{% endmacro %}

{% import _self as macros %}

            {{ macros.nav(navigation) }}

A: In order to get the full URL it is required that you pass your current URL down into the recursion.
{% macro nav(navigation, parent) %}
    {% import _self as macros %}

    {% for item in navigation %}
        {% set active = app.request.getPathInfo starts with item.url or item.url == '/' and app.request.getPathInfo is empty %}

            {{ item.label }}
            {% if not item.children|default([]) is empty %}

                    {{ macros.nav(item.children|default([]), (parent?:'')~item.url~'/') }}

            {% endif %}

    {% endfor %}
{% endmacro %}
