Set
Current or eddies that are not flowing in the natural direction. An opposite current or eddy that tends to counteract the forward movement of a tow or vessel. (TNDOT1)

Set (Of Current)
Deviation from normal current flow, caused by some obstruction such as pier, wall, sandbar, etc. For example, current set above some lock approaches due to flow of water through dam gates. (TNDOT1)

Set (Tow)
A sideways movement of the tow caused by the current or wind. The set of the tow can be very important when the tow meets another tow in close quarters. (TNDOT1)

set
A collection of objects, known as the elements of the set, specified in such a way that we can tell in principle whether or not a given object belongs to it. E.g. the set of all prime numbers, the set of zeros of the cosine function.
For each set there is a predicate (or property) which is true for (posessed by) exectly those objects which are elements of the set. The predicate may be defined by the set or vice versa. Order and repetition of elements within the set are irrelevant so, for example, 1, 2, 3 = 3, 2, 1 = 1, 3, 1, 2, 2.
Some common set of numbers are given the following names:
N = the natural numbers 0, 1, 2, ...
Z = the integers ..., -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ...
Q = the rational numbers p/q where p, q are in Z and q /= 0.
R = the real numbers
C = the complex numbers.
The empty set is the set with no elements. The intersection of two sets X and Y is the set containing all the elements x such that x is in X and x is in Y. The union of two sets is the set containing all the elements x such that x is in X or x is in Y.
See also set complement.

Set
- interface java.util..Set 
public interface Set extends Collection 
public int size ()
A collection that contains no duplicate elements. More formally, sets contain no pair of elements e1 and e2 such that e1.equals(e2), and at most one null element. As implied by its name, this interface models the mathematical abstraction.

set(Object)
- Method in class java.lang.ThreadLocal 
public void set (Object  value)
Sets the calling thread's instance of this ThreadLocal variable to the given value. This is only used to change the value from the one assigned by the initialValue method, and many applications will have no need for this functionality.Parameters: value - the value to be stored in the calling threads' copy of this ThreadLocal.

set(Object) *2
- Method in interface java.util.ListIterator 
public void set (Object  o)
Replaces the last element returned by next or previous with the specified element (optional operation). This call can be made only if neither ListIterator.remove nor ListIterator.add have been called after the last call to next or previous.Throws: UnsupportedOperationException - if the set operation is not supported by this list iterator. - if the class of the specified element prevents it from being added to this list.ClassCastException - if the class of the specified element prevents it from being added to this list. - if some aspect of the specified element prevents it from being added to this list.IllegalArgumentException - if some aspect of the specified element prevents it from being added to this list. - if neither nor have been called, or or have been called after the last call to or .IllegalStateException - if neither next nor previous have been called, or remove or add have been called after the last call to next or previous.

set(Object, Object)
- Method in class java.lang.reflect.Field 
public void set (Object  obj, Object  value) throws IllegalArgumentException , IllegalAccessException 
Sets the field represented by this Field object on the specified object argument to the specified new value. The new value is automatically unwrapped if the underlying field has a primitive type. The operation proceeds as follows: If the underlying field is static, the obj argument is ignored; it may be null. Otherwise the underlying field is an instance field. If the specified object argument is null, the method throws a NullPointerException. If the specified object argument is not an instance of the class or interface declaring the underlying field, the method throws an IllegalArgumentException. If this Field object enforces Java language access control, and the underlying field is inaccessible, the method throws an IllegalAccessException. If the underlying field is final, the method throws an IllegalAccessException. If the underlying field is of a primitive type, an unwrapping conversion is attempted to convert the new value to a value of a primitive type. If this attempt fails, the method throws an IllegalArgumentException. If, after possible unwrapping, the new value cannot be converted to the type of the underlying field by an identity or widening conversion, the method throws an IllegalArgumentException. If the underlying field is static, the class that declared the field is initialized if it has not already been initialized. The field is set to the possibly unwrapped and widened new value. If the field is hidden in the type of obj, the field's value is set according to the preceding rules.Throws: IllegalAccessException - if the underlying constructor is inaccessible. - if the specified object is not an instance of the class or interface declaring the underlying field (or a subclass or implementor thereof), or if an unwrapping conversion fails.IllegalArgumentException - if the specified object is not an instance of the class or interface declaring the underlying field (or a subclass or implementor thereof), or if an unwrapping conversion fails. - if the specified object is null and the field is an instance field.NullPointerException - if the specified object is null and the field is an instance field. - if the initialization provoked by this method fails.ExceptionInInitializerError - if the initialization provoked by this method fails.

Set your teeth on edge
Origin
From Shakespeare's Henry IV.
HOTSPUR: Marry,
And I am glad of it with all my heart:
I had rather be a kitten and cry mew
Than one of these same metre ballad-mongers;
I had rather hear a brazen canstick turn'd,
Or a dry wheel grate on the axle-tree;
And that would set my teeth nothing on edge,
Nothing so much as mincing poetry:
'Tis like the forced gait of a shuffling nag.

The sun never sets on the British Empire
Origin
Christopher North, in Noctes Ambrosianae, 'His Majesty's dominions, on which the sun never sets.'

This precious stone set in the silver sea, this sceptered isle

Set
Set or Seth (Egyptian) According to the Heliopolitan mythology, the son of Seb and Nut, is the brother of Osiris, Isis, and Nephthys; and the father of Anubis by Nephthys. In later times he became associated with Typhon. The attributes of the god underwent several changes: he is described as very closely connected with Aroeris (Heru-ur or Horus the Elder), his chief office being that of helper and friend to the deceased; in this association a twin-god is pictured, having the hawk head of Horus (light) and the Set animal (darkness) upon one human body. Furthermore, Horus was the god of the sky by day, while Set was god of the sky by night: in this sense were they opposite yet identic deities in earliest times, one the shadow of the other.
Later the mythological account describes warlike combats between the two. Horus popularly represented the bright, upward motion of the sun -- resulting in spring and summer; Set represented the downward motion, the mythologic account dwelling upon the fact that Set stole the light from the sun, resulting in autumn and winter. The combats engaged in by Set are rendered in four themes: against Horus, resulting in night coming upon day; against Ra, the sun god; against his brother, Osiris, resulting in the latter's death; and against Horus the Younger who was striving to avenge the death of his father, Osiris.

Set
Egyptian
Gods & Godesses

Regarded as the Lord of Lower (Northern) Egypt and was represented by a big-eared imaginary animal resembling a donkey or maybe an aardvark. He was associated with the desert and storms. The Greeks associated Seth with their god, Typhon. When Upper Egypt conquered Lower Egypt, Seth became known as the evil enemy of Horus (deity of Upper Egypt). Seth was the brother of Osiris, Isis as well as Nephthys who was also his wife. Some legends also name him as the father of Anubis. During his battles with Horus, the goddess Neith suggested a compromise by giving Horus the throne, and Seth the Semetic goddesses Astarte and Asat Seth is most famous for the fratricide of his brother Osiris and the attempted murder of his brother's son, Horus. Horus survived though and avenged his father's death by ruling all of Egypt and exiling Seth to the desert for all time. Seth was not completely evil though, he protected the sun barge of Re during its nightly journey through the underworld and he fights the snake-like monster Apep. Also, for a short time during the 19th Dynasty respect grew for Seth as he was seen as a god who restrained the forces of the desert.

Points, Games, Sets and Matches
Points make up games, games make up sets, sets make up matches. When a player wins four points by a margin of two, they've won a game. When a player wins six games (with the exception of at 5-all and 6-all) they've won a set. Most matches are best of three tiebreak sets. Someone must win two out of three sets to win the match and a tiebreaker will always be played at 6-all. In many professional tournaments, men will play best of five tiebreak sets. Only at Wimbledon, if the match goes to it's ultimate set, will players continue to play games until someone wins by two.
