   		},

   			console.log("t1>" + r.returnValue + ":" + r.error);
   		}

   }, 500);
   
   var t2 = new WorkerThread({i: 50});
   
   ///2. use sleep
   t2.run(function(sharedObj){	
   	while(this.threadSignal){
   		sharedObj.i++;
   
   		this.runOnUiThread(function(sharedObj){
   			///you can interact with dom here
   			W("body ul").appendChild("<li>"+sharedObj.i+"</li>");
   		});
   		
   		this.sleep(500);
