Aug. 22—Authorities arrested a Prairie Farm man in Polk County Friday afternoon who they say was driving under the influence of alcohol.

A Wisconsin State Patrol inspector stopped Dwayne Lee Niesen, 59, of Prairie Farm at about 1:40 p.m. Friday on U.S. 8 at 110th Street. Niesen was speeding in a 55 mph zone and following another vehicle too closely, the State Patrol said in a Friday news release.

Niesen failed field sobriety testing and was arrested for driving a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, the State Patrol said. He was taken to a local hospital for a blood test and then to the Polk County Jail.

Niesen is being charged with seventh offense-operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated and for possession of drug paraphernalia, the State Patrol said.

Niesen had not been charged in the incident as of Saturday afternoon.

Two of Niesen's previous OWI charges stemmed from incidents in Polk and Pepin counties, according to Wisconsin court records.

The impact was all too evident in MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan which sank 4.8% last week to a nine-month trough. The rot spread to Japan where the Nikkei shed 3.4% last week to its lowest since January.

N.Korea develops its own PCR equipment for COVID-19 tests -state media
North Korea has developed its own Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) equipment to conduct coronavirus tests, state media said on Monday, as the country steps up efforts to head off more contagious new strains of the virus. As part of the anti-virus efforts, scientists and technicians at the State Academy of Sciences have developed the PCR system that meets global standards for the first time, said the Rodong Sinmun, the ruling Worker's Party's newspaper. The equipment was introduced as one of recent achievements made under leader Kim Jong Un's push to localise machinery, tools and materials amid international sanctions and border closures that sharply reduced trade.
