+"""This example demonstrates two techniques for achieving a long running task:
+
+Chained Events: each step of the event recursively queues itself to run again.
+Background Tasks: a background task is started and runs until it is cancelled.
+
+The background task is the newer approach and is generally preferrable because
+it does not block UI interaction while it is running.
