Q: Placement of commas and 'and' in English numerals I have a similar question to the one below
When writing out large numbers in words, should commas be placed at thousand separators?
I'm writing a program to spell out large numbers, and am unsure if there should be a comma or an "and" in the following numerals, before the "24":

101024
"One hundred and one thousand, and twenty-four"
1024
"One thousand and twenty-four"

I think that this is rarely a problem in real life, but what would be the correct way of doing this?

A: Not clear whether the questioner wants British or American usage: the British normally use and before the tens position, as in the original example.
The additional examples given in OldPro's answer would in British English be:
"Twelve thousand one hundred and twenty point two four" (since there's no currency sign, the decimals should not be assumed to be cents, but £12,120.24 would be read as "Twelve thousand one hundred and twenty pounds and twentyfour pence" (on a cheque I would also spell out the main currency like this, but follow it with the minor denomination in figures, e.g. "...pounds 24" unless it is zero, in which case I would write a long dash).
"Two million fifty-four thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine"
I would not normally use commas, but that's just a matter of personal choice. Just make sure that the addition of a comma cannot change the meaning (especially on a cheque).

A: Although not directly related to the placement of commas when writing large numbers in words, I would like to point out that many non-English speaking countries (I'm thinking primarily of European countries, as I can't vouch for others) use the comma to denote the decimal point when writing out digits.  They also use spaces instead of commas to break the digits into groups of three (as @EdwinAshworth has illustrated).
So, while not advocating using commas as decimal points, I would advocate - depending on the likely audience - avoiding the use of commas entirely when writing large numbers in digits so as to avoid possible confusion by some readers, for example (using Edwin Ashworth's illustration):

use 101 024 instead of 101,024 because some readers may read the latter as one hundred & one point zero two four.

A: I state without much authority that commas are placed similarly to numerals at the thousands, millions, and billions marks, and that "and" is only used at the decimal point. It's just how I've seen it done on checks where it is required to spell out the amount.

101024 "One hundred and one thousand, twenty-four"
1024 "One thousand, twenty-four"
12120.24 "Twelve thousand, one hundred twenty and twenty four cents"
2,054,999 "Two millon, fifty-four thousand, nine hundred ninety-nine"

I think using "and" other than for the decimal point detracts from readability.  Commas are much more debatable but it makes some sort of sense to put them where I say in that it means that the numbers spelled out between commas never reach into the thousands.

A: I don't think a bank handling an account with that amount of money in it is likely to be too captious.
"One hundred and one thousand and twenty-four" and "One hundred and one thousand, and twenty-four" are both (if we know we're dealing with numbers rather than additions), unmistakably, spelt-out forms of 101 024 (which is how we taught kids to write longer numbers; we were taught 101,024 in my day).
Since neither leads to interpretational confusion, it becomes a style choice (as with 101 024 rather than 101,024). Is the comma'd version
a) easier on the brain
b) easier on the eye
c) easier on the reader-out?

When David Christian meets people who claim to be "ancient" historians he must chortle inwardly. As Christian has developed a new educational course that encompasses the entire history of our universe – all 13.82 billion years of it.
A timeline of our universe. Source.
In a recent seminar Christian talked about the importance as well as the contents of a new syllabus he is aiming to introduce to high schools. In the 1980's Christian began to wonder why historians traditionally do not look back past human history. He reasoned that a more expansive study of history would help humans to gain a perspective on, and a sense of belonging to, something bigger than themselves. Christian also strongly agrees with C.P. Snow who, over 50 years ago, said that there was a lack of communication between science, the humanities and the general public. From these thoughts Big History was born.
As Big History covers all known history up until the modern day, it is very interdisciplinary. When the course was first taught at Macquarie University in 1989 Christian said he would often bring in specialist lecturers to talk about cosmology, chemistry, evolution or biology in greater depth. After being a student to these lectures for a decade, Christian began to give some of the lectures himself. This was not necessarily out of choice for him, rather the specialist lecturer was not able able to attend. As Christian delivered more and more of the content the course developed a natural flow through the content, which is perhaps now the biggest strength of the course.
It was this connectivity between fields that prompted Bill Gates to contact Christian about 10 years ago. Gates had taken the course and was keen to develop Big History into a subject that could be taught in high schools. In 2011 some schools in the US and Australia began running Big History courses. Today over 300 US and 100 Australian schools have Big History included in their curriculum.
The Big History course is divided into eight compartments which have been called thresholds (See figure below).
The 8 thresholds of the Big History course. Source.
Each threshold represents a significant advancement in in the history of our universe. These thresholds are very anthropocentric. That is, these are the stages that needed to occur for human society to exist as it does today. When learning about this progression of events you begin to realise just how special our planet and our species are.
In the beginning of the course, which typically runs over a 13 week period, you learn about the Big Bang and the subsequent influence of gravity and dark matter in creating stars. With stars it became possible for new elements to be formed. Before stars only the first four elements of the periodic table existed; over 99% of which was hydrogen and helium. With young stars, elements up to iron (no. 26) could be formed via the fusion of smaller elements. Super massive stars can then go supernova, making it possible for the other elements to be formed. As you can see from the diagrams below the formation of stars and supernovas was necessary to form the Earth as well as the human body.
The elemental composition of the universe. Source.
The elemental composition of the Earth. Source.
The elemental composition of the human body. Source.
That's right! We are all stars…literally.
After stars facilitated the formation of solar systems, which is the next threshold (no. 4), the conditions on Earth were such that life could exist. This means that the Earth was in the "Goldilocks" zone. The Goldilocks zones are the regions of the universe were conditions are suitable for life – juuuuust right. The beginning of life on Earth, 3.5-3.8 billion years ago, is threshold five of the course.
As a biologist I feel there could have been another threshold or two during the development of life, such as multicellularity or the Cambrian explosion. Much as a physicist would probably say there should be more thresholds for the formation of the universe. But in the interest of simplicity these are not major thresholds for the course.
The next threshold is the ability of species within the homo genus to learn collectively. This means that communication had developed to a level of sophistication that allowed inter-generational knowledge accumulation. And so, the tools improved over hundreds of thousands of years until eventually humans had asserted themselves as the dominant species on Earth, after colonising the vast majority of landmasses.
The next threshold was agriculture at the end of the pleistocene (10000 years ago), which allowed population centers to generate a surplus of food. The final threshold brings us to the modern era – the burning of fossil fuels.
The burning of fossil fuels allowed us to generate vast amounts of energy that had been stored 300 million years ago. It has been estimated that due to fossil fuels humans now control a density of energy that is one million times greater than the sun.
In regards to this energy, Christian said, " I don't think we're really in charge of this huge machine we are driving". He said this level of energy may be the undoing of civilisation, through climate change or other phenomena.
The full course of Big History is available free online here.
This is a video from the era of C.P. Snow about the issues of communicating with scientists, and of being scientifically literate. David Christian hopes to bridge the gap in communication between scientists and the community through big history.
Note: I have been writing "our" universe throughout this piece as there are a growing number of scientists who believe multiple universes (multiverse) may exist.
David Christian earned his BA at Oxford University, his MA at Ontario University and by 1975 had completed his PhD at Oxford. His PhD was on 19th century Russian, and the influence of vodka on the Russian peasantry. He taught at Macquarie University from 1975 to 2000 and in that time developed his course called Big History. In 2001 he moved to San Diego University, but returned to Macquarie in 2009. In his time in America he was contacted by Bill Gates about Big History, and the Big History Project resulted. Since 2009 he has been teaching various course at Macquarie, and recieved a distinguished lecturer award in 2013. He has also authored a book "Maps of Time".

Natalie Portman is known for being as socially conscious as she is gorgeous, so it's no surprise that the Israeli-born actress has launched her own line of vegan shoes. In an entertaining interview with the London Times, Portman recently talked about what drove her into the business of footwear. "I've been getting stuff from Target, which is de facto vegan because it's so cheap. But I did need some shoes that weren't made of canvas or plastic." High maintenance!
Portman apparently designed the line of limited edition shoes herself, and according to various reports, anywhere from 5% to all profits are going to the Nature Conservancy. The cruelty-free kicks are being sold through New York boutique te casan for around $250 a pair.
Portman's latest film, The Other Boleyn Girl, hits theaters this Friday and stars fellow-Jew Scarlett Johannson.

Oklahoma Judge orders temporary block on anti-abortion law scheduled to take effect Nov. 1
by Kyle Schwab
Published: Wed, October 14, 2015 12:00 AM Updated: Wed, October 14, 2015 8:26 PM
An Oklahoma County judge on Wednesday ordered a temporary block on an anti-abortion law that would have banned a common abortion procedure.
The Center for Reproductive Rights, a New York-based abortion advocacy group, filed the lawsuit earlier this month to challenge the constitutionality of the new Oklahoma law.
"We are very pleased that the court enjoined, on a temporary basis, the ... ban which would have prohibited the most common method of performing a second-trimester abortion," said Autumn Katz, an attorney for the center. "It was a completely unprecedented restriction on abortion access."
The center alleged the law "threatens to deprive Oklahoma women of their constitutional right to end a pregnancy prior to viability," the lawsuit states.
The law was set to take effect Nov. 1.
However, the judge denied to block a second law that will increase the waiting period for an abortion from 24 hours to 72 hours. This law is still set to take effect Nov. 1.
Katz argued that a 72 hour delay could subject some women to health risks.
An attorney for the defense contended the increase was "reasonable." Women seeking an abortion must undergo counseling and receive pregnancy related information before the procedure.
The center is representing Reproductive Services, a medical clinic in Tulsa. The lawsuit states the Tulsa clinic "is the only licensed abortion facility that provides second-trimester abortion procedures in the entire state."
The center has challenged at least half a dozen other abortion laws in Oklahoma in the past.

Wonder Woman - Rupert Gregson-Williams
6/5/17
What You Will Hear: A Remote Control production with a little more orchestral thoughtfulness than usual.
Standout Tracks: Amazons of Themiscyra, Lundendorff Enough!, No Man's Land, Wonder Woman's Wrath, We Are All To Blame, Hell Hath No Fury, Lightning Strikes
Will You Be Humming Along? The BvS theme for Wonder Woman shows up sparingly. A new theme is introduced in the opening tracks. It isn't very original and doesn't stick around for long. The baddie has a sinister repeating motif.
The opposite of creativity.
The album this makes me want to dust off: Thor – Patrick Doyle mixed with Thor: The Dark World – Brian Tyler
Will I come back to it? I don't know if I'll every make up my mind about this one. At its most basic level, Wonder Woman is an entertaining listening experience. Zimmer's electric cello theme works because it isn't over quoted and contrasts nicely with the rest of the score (see: No Man's Land). Compared to its use in Batman vs. Superman, where it was just part of the general orchestral shouting, it's a fun diversion this time around. But, it doesn't do enough for a character and movie that is this dynamic. As discussed by people smarter than I, it would work as a secondary action theme, but there should me a more complete primary theme. There is some new melodic content early in the score (for the Amazons?), and it feels like it could be a new focal point. But, nothing ever develops (see: Amazons of Themiscyra) and it could easily belong to any action movie from the last fifteen years. The villain's theme is simple, but effective. Again, however, most of the new material could easily be substituted into any action movie from the last fifteen years.
Wonder Woman is a little bit of Tron: Legacy, Transformers, Chronicles of Narnia, and both Thor flicks all rolled into one. Rupert Gregson-Williams' work is a more prideful and hopeful than most modern Remote Control scores. That's a heartfelt compliment. I hope it's the beginning of a new trend from Zimmer's team. But, that sentiment can only carry this album for so long. In a film that is breaking Hollywood standards, a standard score should be considered a crime. There is nothing groundbreaking here and that's a big disappointment. If this were the music from any other movie, I'd probably be more kind. But, this music accompanies an extraordinary movie… and it is just too ordinary to forgive. That being said, I'll come back for the hopefulness, but each stay probably won't be for very long.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007) Review
Yo-Ho
Adam A. Donaldson | May 25, 2007
Oh, what a strange journey it has been for the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. From industry punch line to amusing summer diversion to being euphemistically labelled the Star Wars of this generation, the road from there to here has rarely, if ever, been dull. And what happens from here on out is anybody's guess: could there be more Pirates and if so, will Johnny Depp be involved in some way, is it even conceivable to do a Pirates movie without Captain Jack Sparrow? I honestly don't know, but while walking out of At World's End two things were certain: if this was the end then what an end it was and the door is more then a little a jar for the further adventures of the Black Pearl.
When we last left the intrepid crew of the Pearl, they were without a ship and without a Captain. Their beloved Captain Jack (Depp) was dragged down to the depths of Davy Jones' locker by Jones' (Bill Nighy) monstrous Kraken. To get Jack back, daring-do hero Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), his lady love Elizabeth (Keira Knightly) and the rest of the gang must sail under the command of the newly back from the dead Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) and get through the back door to Jones' locker at the literal ends of the Earth. Sparrow, meanwhile, has gone, if possible, even madder in his isolation. Once in the afterworld with the recovered Captain Jack, the crew must find their way back again in order to team with the other Pirate lords against the machinations of Lord Beckett (Tom Hollander) who's ravaging the seas with Jones' under his control.
This movie may just as well have been titled "How the Pirates got their Groove Back" because a lot of the clunkiness and repetition of Dead Man's Chest has been eliminated. Whether it was the return of Rush's Barbossa or the elimination of scene upon scene of plot set-up, the movie is possessed with a new energy that easily carries the viewer through the nearly three-hour running time. Of course, a lot of that running time could have been shaved down without all the various schemes and counter-schemes the characters commit to sabotage each other. Some plot points are glossed over; like Beckett's insistence that Jones' eliminate the Kraken and the implied though never explained background between Beckett and Jack. In fact, At World's End is one of those movies best left enjoyed without picking at all the lose threads lest you be left with an unravelled sweater.
Depp manages to find new inspiration for Captain Jack and is a pure delight in a performance that reaffirms the audience's love for the character. Depp and Rush share a great Odd Couple like vibe as they snipe orders back and forth as they match wits for control of the Pearl and the crew. There aren't many new characters but if we are to parlay (wink) the notion that Pirates is the new Star Wars, then the meeting of the pirate lords will be the Mos Esley of this trilogy. It's during this scene that Keith Richards makes his much ballyhooed cameo appearance as Jack's father Captain Teague, the Keeper of the Code; it's a small part but uniquely pivotal in the film's lore. (Richards also has to be the only person alive that had to be cleaned up in order to be passed off as a pirate.)
Book ended by the film's only two grand action sequences, much of the plot is carried on the charisma and familiarity of the characters. Although I think that the Pirate movies would have worked better as individual adventures a la Indiana Jones, I can't help but admire the skill and dedication of all the people behind the scenes in creating a sweeping and original epic. And to top it all off, the filmmakers deliver the most un-Disney kind of bittersweet ending they could possibly deliver.
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is a visually vibrant and exciting film with more great swashbuckling music from Hans Zimmer. If you don't have fun at this movie then maybe you are the one with your heart in a chest somewhere.

La détection d'agent est la tendance des animaux et des humains à présumer l'intervention réfléchie d'un agent conscient ou intelligent dans des situations qui peuvent ou non en impliquer.

Origines évolutives
On pense que les humains ont évolué la détection d'agent comme une stratégie de survie. Dans une situation où un individu est incertain de la présence d'un agent intelligent (comme un ennemi ou un prédateur), il est avantageux en termes de survie de supposer sa présence afin de prendre les précautions nécessaires. Par exemple, un humain rencontre une marque dans le sol qui pourrait être une empreinte de lion, il est avantageux de suivre le principe de précaution et de considérer qu'il y a bien un lion présent.

Les psychologues Kurt Gray et Daniel Wegner ont écrit :

Rôle dans l'apparition des religions

Certains scientifiques pensent que la croyance en des dieux créateurs est un sous-produit (ou trompe) de la détection d'agent. Une trompe est un trait non-adaptatif qui est un effet secondaire d'un trait lui-même adaptatif. Le trait psychologique en question est « si tu entends un craquement de branche dans la forêt, une forme consciente en est probablement la cause ». Ce trait aide à empêcher le primate d'être par exemple tué par un prédateur. Toutefois, ce trait hypothétique pourrait persister chez les humains modernes. Ainsi, les psychologistes évolutionnistes émettent l'hypothèse que « même si le craquement était causé par le vent, les humains modernes ont toujours tendance à en attribuer le son à un agent conscient ; ils appellent cette personne un dieu ».

Kurt et Wegner affirment aussi que la détection d'agent est probablement un « fondement pour la croyance humaine en dieu » mais « la simple attribution excédentaire à des agents ne peut pas expliquer à elle seule la croyance en dieu... » car la capacité humaine à construire une théorie de l'esprit est aussi nécessaire pour nous donner « les capacités cognitives de base pour concevoir Dieu».

Just What is a Lydiard Base Phase?
Q: I have been reading Running Times' articles on base training recently and I have been getting some mixed messages. The first article, which accompanied the bit on Lydiard, stated that base training should include two moderate speed workouts a week (fartlek and tempo run) along with a good bit of aerobic running. The article written by Greg McMillan said that base training, at most, should include only stride workouts along with aerobic running. As a runner looking to put in a good base this winter I'm a little confused. Which way is better/correct?
A: There are many interpretations of what Arthur meant with his base training. In reading Running the Lydiard Way, he included various "workouts" based on the athlete (youth, adult) and the distance (sprints, middle distance, long distance, cross country, marathon). In talking with Arthur when I toured with him in 2004 and in conversations I've had with athletes that were coached by him or his proteges, it is clear that there were two "workouts" in the base/marathon conditioning (though in other books of his, he omits these workouts thus causing even more confusion!).
Lydiard's Boys (left to right) Peter Snell, Murray Halberg, Barry Magee and Alan McKight training on the 22-mile Waiatarua Loop in New Zealand.
In his words as well as those that he coached, they performed a fartlek workout early in the week (usually Tuesday). I asked him what he meant by fartlek. He said the athletes were to change pace for anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes based on how they felt. Nothing was at a hard effort but it was used to simply provide some change of pace for the legs since most other running is at an easy pace. He also talked (and this is in his books) about avoiding building up lactic acid during the base phase. So, I encourage athletes to include a fartlek-type workout once per week but like to keep it as just leg speed sessions (quick but controlled efforts lasting less than 30 seconds). I find that if athletes do too much fast running (longer efforts at 5K to 10K pace) then they peak too soon, whereas the leg speed sessions help them get very fast without stressing the anaerobic system. They then have a very good transition to the faster training later in the season because their leg turnover is so good. Other coaches, however, allow longer fartlek efforts.
The second "workout" was a steady state run. It is reported that on Fridays, Arthur's boys would run their 10-mile run quick to get home before the movies started. This run was a 3/4 effort run which, by looking at their times for the 10-miler, was equal to their marathon pace. Therefore, I advise the second run to be slower than a tempo run (10K-HM pace) and keep it more toward marathon effort. Again, other coaches like a tempo run better. I save these harder tempo runs for later in the plan.
So, I'm not sure there is a right or wrong way. There are just different interpretations of what Arthur meant. Each athlete and coach must start with the basic base building routine and alter as you go to see what works best for you. You may find that longer fartlek runs work better for you. You may also find that faster tempo runs are better. I take a more conservative approach and work on the aerobic and neuromuscular aspects within the base - steady state runs and a leg speed workout. I get good results with this but you must experiment to see what leads you to your peak performance in your goal race.
A #2: I don't think Arthur could have said it better except for one thing...fartlek, in his original schedule, was done on Wednesday, not Tuesday.
As Greg stated, there is definitely no right or wrong way to do the base build-up. However, it pays to pay some attention to, as Greg calls it, leg turnover, because unless you're blessed to live in Auckland where you'd be doing lots of aerobic running over very hill terrains, your range of motion and neuromuscular stimulus tends to be one range. Some easy fartlek and some leg speed can certainly be utilized to your advantage depending on the event you're training for and the level at which you're working. Arthur's track runners, including Sir Peter Snell, said that it may help to do some easy strides even during the build-up, whereas his marathon guys, like Barry Magee, said that it would be better to do a hard effort 10-miler than strides for a marathon.
If you can handle hard tempo-type workouts during the build-up, more power to you as long as it won't affect the next day's workout. I couldn't handle a hard hour's run twice a week so one of Arthur's runners suggested I do 3 X 1 mile repeat instead. I don't think Arthur would have suggested it that way but it worked well with me at that point--including some faster, harder aerobic effort without killing myself. So there's really no right or wrong approach as long as, as Greg stated, the principles and the purpose are covered.

The search for natural resources with antiviral potential, as an alternative to synthetic drugs, has been growing and, in this sense, oregano presents itself as a potential candidate. However, the antiviral studies with oregano are still poorly explored. BoHV-1 stands out among veterinary pathogens, for its economic impact on cattle production. In this study, the antiviral and virucidal activity of polar extracts of Origanum vulgare was evaluated against BoHV-1. Infusion (INF10), decoction (DEC), and hydroalcoholic (HAE) extracts were tested to cytotoxic and antiviral assays on MDBK cells. Cytotoxic effects were analyzed through MTT assay and the antiviral activity was expressed as a percentage of inhibition (PI). BoHV-1 was incubated with O. vulgare extracts as virucidal assay. Concentrations ≤3.12 mg/ml (INF10) and ≤1.56 mg/ml (DEC/HAE) preserved the cell viability above 60%, and all extracts were safe (>96%) between 0.78 and 0.39 mg/ml. Regarding the antiviral activity, pre-treatment of all extracts highlighted in comparison to the post-treatment. The pre-treatment of infusion at 2 mg/ml highlighted due to the high cell viability (84.69%) and the elimination of the viral load. All extracts inactivated BoHV-1 from 2 hours of incubation (20 mg/ml), showing virucidal activity. These findings may be related to 4-hydroxybenzoic acid as prevalent in all extracts. These findings showed the in vitro antiviral and virucidal activity of oregano polar extracts against BoHV-1 and may be promising for the therapeutic use against herpesviruses infections.

Explore your own fashion frontier with Constrvct, a clothing company that prints your own photos and designs on textiles for dresses and shirts.
With a new season of "Project Runway" under way, many viewers are daydreaming about becoming fashion designers. If the Constrvct (the "v" is intentional) Kickstarter project gets off the ground, you won't have to just daydream anymore.
Constrvct combines photography, individually made garments, crowdsourcing, and a whole lot of fashion sense into a project that will turn out unique clothing designed by contributors, rather then predetermined by the company.
A user uploads a photo, plays around with the placement on a variety of clothing items, and orders the outfit. The photo is digitally printed onto fabric and then sewn into the size and shape of the requested garment.
This means your 1977-style Instagram photo of your dog Fluffytoes could be made into an off-the-shoulder dress. You could plaster an LOLcat all over a T-shirt. The possibilities are enormous.
A Kickstarter pledge will get you discounts on the eventual prices once the store opens to the public. A $199 pledge will get you a custom dress and $95 will buy a T-shirt. All of the garments are made from organic cotton jersey.
Now that you have access to the power of fashion, use it wisely. Your most embarrassing Facebook photos could appear in real life in T-shirt form, but let's hope your friends have more discretion than that.

FLYING SQUAD!
"The guys that don't play are equally as important as the players that are out on the pitch" says Paul
Paul Lambert has reiterated the importance of the squad as Town look to maintain a promotion push at Accrington on Sunday.
Blues sit four points clear of second-placed Wycombe with a game in hand after an unbeaten start to the League One campaign - in which 22 players have seen action for Town so far.
"The guys that don't play are equally as important as the players that are out on the pitch," the Town boss told the Club website.
"Players train all week and if they are not involved at the weekend, they are sure to be disappointed.
"I understand that so it's important that we use the squad and I've done that. I have played a lot of them. It's not as though no one has had game time and they have all performed. I know I can trust every player to go in and do a job for us."
BOSS | WELL WORTH THE WIN
Paul hails quality goals and all-round performance at Prenton Park
NORRIS | TOWN IS MY FOCUS
"It is a real privilege to play for this football club and it's not something that anything in this team takes lightly either"
BOSS | PITCH MAY PLAY A PART
"The surface looks as though it will churn up in no time so we may have to play the conditions accordingly"
PAUL ON BART LATEST
"If Millwall offer enough money then I'm sure Marcus will look at it"

Q: RxJava observeOn / subscribeOn works only in test environment I have this AsyncSubject
val asyncSubject = AsyncSubject.create<Int>()
observable.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
          .subscribeOn(Schedulers.newThread())
          .subscribe(asyncSubject)

If I do something like this in test environment (androidTest folder)
asyncSubject.subscribe{
    // enter only in test environment
}

it enters only during testing, but I ran the same code in an activity it doesn't enter.
The only way to made it work both test and normal environment is to remove:
.observeOn(Schedulers.newThread())
.subscribeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())

What I am doing wrong?
Those are my dependencies:
implementation 'io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxandroid:2.1.1'
implementation 'io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxjava:2.2.8'

EDIT:
it appears that it doesn't work only if I try to change an outside variable.
An example:
val observable = Observable.just(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
val asyncSubject = AsyncSubject.create<Int>()
observable.subscribeOn(Schedulers.newThread())
          .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
          .subscribe(asyncSubject)
val signal = CountDownLatch(5)
var i = 0
asyncSubject.subscribe{
    i = it
    signal.countDown()
}
signal.await()
// After that `i` is always 0

A: When you run java unit tests, you can't execute AndroidSchedulers.mainThread()
What you can do is create a test rule to be able to execute the unit tests in a synchronous way.
In this answer you will find a detailed explanation.
You can take rule from here.

A: You should sbscribe to your asyncSubject prior to calling subscribe on observable. Also, Observable.just(..) doesn't honour schedulers, so your subscribeOn/observeOn wont have an effect here.
