+####`suspend()`
+When a module is hidden (using the `module.hide()` method), the `suspend()` method will be called. By subclassing this method you can perform tasks like halting the update timers.
+
+####`resume()`
+When a module will be shown after it was previously hidden (using the `module.show()` method), the `resume()` method will be called. By subclassing this method you can perform tasks restarting the update timers.
