Notes of the Black Piano Keys. Black piano keys are called accidentals; these are the sharps and flats of the piano. On the keyboard, there are five black accidentals per octave. A sharp makes a note a half step higher in pitch. A flat makes a note a half step lower in pitch. On the keyboard, a noteâs flat is the black key directly to its left.
Grand Jury. Federal jurors are paid $40 a day. Jurors can receive up to $50 a day after serving 45 days on a grand jury. (Employees of the federal government are paid their regular salary in lieu of this fee.) Jurors also are reimbursed for reasonable transportation expenses and parking fees.
Grand Jurors sit with 22 other jurors for a term of several months to consider evidence presented by the prosecutor. 1  Grand Jurors do not serve on a trial, like Trial Jurors. 2  The grand jury does not decide the guilt or innocence of the accused.  The grand juryâs work is a pre-trial function of the court.
