How did the Council of Trent affect the Catholic reformation?
The Council of Trent did not affect the Catholic Reformation, it was part OF the Catholic Reformation, your question has it backwards.
The 19th Ecumenical Council of the Church was summoned for the purposes of 1) reforming the Church, and 2) combating protestantism. The nineteenth ecumenical council opened at Trent on 13 December, 1545, and closed there on 4 December, 1563. Its main object was the definitive determination of the doctrines of the Church in answer to the heresies of the Protestants; a further object was the execution of a thorough reform of the inner life of the Church by removing the numerous abuses that had developed in it. The Council of Trent was called by Paul III who was pope from 1534 to 1549 and it first sat in December 1545.
from the Catholic Encyclopedia article on the Council of Trent
The Ecumenical Council of Trent has proved to be of the greatest importance for the development of the inner life of the Church. No council has ever had to accomplish its task under more serious difficulties, none has had so many questions of the greatest importance to decide. The assembly proved to the world that notwithstanding repeated apostasy in church life there still existed in it an abundance of religious force and of loyal championship of the unchanging principles of Christianity. Although unfortunately the council, through no fault of the fathers assembled, was not able to heal the religious differences of western Europe, yet the infallible Divine truth was clearly proclaimed in opposition to the false doctrines of the day, and in this way a firm foundation was laid for the overthrow of heresy and the carrying out of genuine internal reform in the Church.

The Council of Trent
The 19th ecumenical council held at Trent in the Austrian Tyrol, 1545-63, summoned for the purpose of combating Protestantism and reforming the discipline of the Church; the longest and one of the most important of all general councils. It dealt in detail with the doctrinal innovations of the Reformers and with those gross abuses which gave them an opportunity to take root. It was one of the most important events of modern history and has had lasting effect. The principal dogmatic decisions were: the confirmation of the Nicene creed; the authenticity of the Latin Vulgate and the canonicity of all books contained therein and of them only; the definition of the doctrine of Original Sin; the precision of the doctrine of Justification, condemning justification by faith alone and imputation of grace; the condemnation of thirty errors about the sacraments; the definition of the Real Presence and of Transubstantiation as its mode: the precision of the doctrine of the sacraments of penance and Extreme Unction; the declaration that holy communion in both kinds was not necessary for lay-people and clerics not celebrating, Christ being received whole and entire under either species; the precision of doctrine concerning the sacrifice of the Mass and the sacraments of holy Orders and Matrimony; the affirmation of the doctrines of Purgatory, of the invocation of saints, and the veneration of them, their relics and images, and of Indulgences. Far-reaching decrees of reformation in discipline and morals were adopted involving many alterations in canon law, e.g. the decree Tametsi.
How can one strengthen reseller reformation?
A reseller is a company or individual that purchases goods or services with the intention of reselling them rather than consuming or using them. This is usually done for profit (but could be resold at a loss). One example can be found in the industry of telecommunications, where companies buy excess amounts of transmission capacity or call time from other carriers and resell it to smaller carriers. According to the Institute for Partner Education & Development, a resellers product Fulfillment based business model, includes Corporate Reseller, retail, Direct market reseller, and eTailer; Less than 10 percent of their revenue comes from services. Resellers are known to conduct operations on the Internet through sites on the web. For example, this occurs where individuals or companies act as agents for ICANN accredited registrars. They either sell on commission or for profit and in most cases, but not all, the purchase from the registrar and the sale to the ultimate buyer occurs in real time. These resellers are not to be confused with speculators, who purchase many domain names with the intention of holding them and selling them at some future time at a profit. Resellers, by the very nature of their business are retailers. Another common example on the is in the web hosting area, where a reseller will purchase bulk hosting from a supplier with the intention of reselling it to a number of consumers at a profit.

What did Dutch patroons create along the river?
What are patroons?
First off, Patroons are settlers from back-in-the-day. Each patroon was given 50 workers to maintain the land. These people helped the beauty, population, and overall satisfaction of the colony grow. Once the patroon brought 50 workers to continue maintaining the land, the patroon would receive a grant. It's almost like a "Good job!" kind of gift. Sometimes, patroons may receive land, food, or even money.
Dutch patroons had to take boats, like any other traveler on the sea. It takes days, weeks, maybe even months! They needed to stop somewhere. Once they found land, they were so excited. There would be food, water, and shelter just waiting for them! When they parked their boat, they discovered their friends are already there.
The Dutch patroons obviously needed to build settlements. The patroons barely did any work besides the fact they brought 50 workers from across the world. The patroon had the 50 workers build the houses, the fires, the paths, unload the boat, and basically everything they need to be satisfied with their new homes. The settlement was along the river, the Hudson river to be exact. The beautiful view when the sunset comes, the fresh water, and even the fertile soil was a positive impact to their settlement. Life was very satisfying for the Dutch patroons, and their friends all sharing the same area. The Dutch people concurred and cared for their home, New Netherlands, which is now New York.

The differences between the Westminster Confession and the Heidelberg Catechism are minimal at best. The Heidelberg emphasizes public worship and a spiritual rest on the Sabbath (as opposed to physical rest), while the Westminster emphasizes physical Sabbath rest and the particulars of faith in action.
