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.
A grand jury is composed of a group of individuals whose main purpose is to determine whether to issue an indictment against an individual. This process of determining whether or not to issue an indictment is commonly known as a grand jury investigation. During a grand jury investigation, the grand jury makes no decision or conclusion as to the guilt or innocence of an individual. It only determines whether there is probable cause, or enough evidence to suggest, that an individual may have committed a crime.
