 * Thread serves as a base class for any code that has to be excuted as a thread
 * by the ThreadPool class. The run method defines the code that has to be run
 * as a theard. For example, code in run could be sendinga request to a server
 * waiting for the response and storing the response. When the thread finishes
 * execution, the ThreadPool invokes finalize where one could have the code necessary
 * to collect all the responses and release any resources. 
 *
 * NOTE: The object of the Thread class must be valid (in scope) throughout the 
 * execution of the thread.
