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.
You will be paid $40/day for each day of jury attendance or travel, and 57.5 cents per mile (calculated based on your zip code) for your round-trip travel. If you are a federal government employee you are not entitled to the attendance fee but you will be paid for your mileage.
