Staden attempted to convince the natives that he was German, not Portuguese, and thus a friend of the Tupinamba's French allies.
Staden's written and illustrated account remains a primary source on the Tupinamba culture, which dominated large portions of southeastern Brazil, and whose language was used for trading as far away as the Andes at the time of initial European contact.
Staden was most frank about his strategy of shifting national and religious identity in order to survive when he recalled attempting to convince the Tupinamba that he was with the French rather than the Portuguese.
Staden had escaped captivity among the Portuguese and was relying on Tupinamba animosity toward them to defend him from reassignment to a dangerous indentured service defending their fort.
Indeed, Staden's account of Calvinist martyrdom was so compelling that when his narrative was rereleased in 1593 by the Protestant Theodor de Bry, the new engravings illustrating the account served to strengthen Staden's claim of Christian virtue in a hellish wilderness.
The contig markers in the Staden sequences are retained in the heading of the GCG output file.
If multiple contigs are present in the Staden file, all of the contigs are concatenated into a single sequence in the output.
If the first 300 alphanumeric characters in a sequence are composed entirely of Staden nucleotide codes (see Appendix III), it is reformatted as a nucleic acid sequence in GCG format; otherwise it is reformatted as a protein sequence.

It is based on the famous memoirs of Hans Staden, a German gunner working for the Portuguese in Brazil in mid sixteenth century who spent nine months in captivity among the Tupinambas, now extinct fierce, cannibalistic war-like tribe.
The Tupinambas, being sworn enemies of the Portuguese, are keen to feast on Staden.
The film has a documentary feel to it (and indeed Staden's memoirs are considered invaluable for their historical and anthropological worth), and that is not a compliment for feature film.

Staden is a pioneer in DNA sequence analysis and management software, and is internationally recognized as a leader in the field of bioinformatics.
Staden developed the software and managed the sequences for the first complete genomes published by Frederick Sanger's group at the Medical Research Council's Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, United Kingdom, in 1977.
The Staden package was recently used in the C. elegans genome project published last December from the Sanger Center in the United Kingdom and Washington University in St. Louis.
The total area is 46.24 km² which gives a population density of 237 inhabitants per km².One of the most famous descendants of the municipality is Spencer Staden, currently living in Australia.
STADEN, Hans (stah'-den), German traveller, born in Hesse-Homburg in 1520: died there about 1565.
He had received a good education and was in moderate circumstances, when desire for travel led him to enlist in 1547 on a ship that was bound for Brazil.
A few weeks later Staden, while engaged in a hunting expedition, was captured by a party of Tupinamba Indians, who carried him to their village, where he was to be devoured at the next festivity, but he won the friendship of a powerful chief, whom he cured of a disease, and his life was spared.
The Staden Package is a collection of sequencing handling and analysis programs developed at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology (MRC-LMB), Cambridge, UK, by Rodger Staden and several other developers.
In 2003, funding for the Staden Package was discontinued by the MRC, but the source code has recently been released and is now open-source.
The Staden Package is known to run on most operating systems, including Unix, Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows.
Hans Staden (with beard) watching an indigenous tribe in Brazil practicing cannibalism.
There is a 1999 film, Hans Staden, 92 min, director Luis Alberto Pereira), spoken in the original Brazilian Tupinamba indigenous language, with subtitles in Portuguese, English, French and Spanish - that explores his adventures while being held captive by the Brazilian indigenous tribe.
Another film also based on Staden's stories (but not with himself as a character) was Como Era Gostoso o meu Francês (How Tasty My French[man] Was), a 1970 film which adds a subplot about the main character's love affair with a young indian woman.
Van Staden finished 36 holes at 12-under-par 132, one shot clear of his closest competitors.
Van Staden played the back nine first and jumped out of the gate with back-to-back birdies from the 10th.
Van Staden made it three in a row with a birdie at the first and capped off his bogey-free round with a birdie at the fourth to find himself in an unlikely position.
About the Institute (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.umd.edu)(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
Heinrich von Staden is one of the world’s foremost authorities on ancient science and medicine.
Von Staden’s broad range of interests includes classical philosophy and literature.
Among his current projects is a book-length work on Erasistratos (the Hellenistic pioneer of human dissection), a study of the relation between “nature” and “art” (techne) in ancient science, and a study of medical ethics in ancient Greece and Rome.
PRETORIA, South Africa -- Dean van Staden posted a 7-under 65 Friday at Woodhill Country Club to take the lead after round two of the Telkom PGA Championship.
Van Staden played the back nine first and jumped out of the gate with back-to- back birdies from the 10th.
The 39-year-old added a birdie at the 15th and reached 10-under with a pair of birdies starting at the par-5 17th.
The Staden Package is a suite of sequence handling and analysis software developed at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK
The package comes with materials used for a two-day course on sequencing project management using the Staden Package given by Cambridge University.
You must initialize your environment including default paths and environmental variables which this package uses to access the programs and associated files.
Any sequence created with the Staden database programs can be converted with EFromStaden into a format suitable for use with Wisconsin Package(TM) programs.
If more than one contig is present in the Staden file, then the sequences are concatenated into a single sequence.
If this is not what you want, put the contigs into separate files with a text editor and run EFromStaden on each them individually.
Staden consists of several programs involved in assembly, mutation detection, sequence analysis and sequence trace and reading file manipulation.
Access to Staden is allowed only for academic users.
You need also an X terminal emulator on your Macintosh or PC to run the Staden Package.

The Staden io_lib is installed in /usr/local/include with the os.h and config.h files copied into /usr/local/include/io_lib, and the os.h line changed to "config.h".
