Viewing CLEAR's Latest Web Pages
After a little sleuthing, we have realized that not all visitors to CLEAR's Web site view its latest version, which is unfortunate. If your computer does not automatically refresh every time you visit a Web site, it is important that you periodically clear your computer's cache which may contain earlier images of Web sites you've visited. To do this, right click on your Internet connection icon, then left click on Internet Properties.  Select Clear History and the earlier images will be removed.
