Circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ touch externally at the point $O$. Points $A$ and $B$ on the circle $\omega_1$ and points $C$ and $D$ on the circle $\omega_2$ are such that $AC$ and $BD$ are common external tangents to circles. Line $AO$ intersects segment $CD$ at point $M$ and straight line $CO$ intersexts $\omega_1$ again at point $N$. Prove that the points $B$, $M$ and $N$ lie on the same straight line.

It is known that triangle $ABC$ is not isosceles with altitudes of $AA_1, BB_1$, and $CC_1$. Suppose $B_A$ and $C_A$ respectively points on $BB_1$ and $CC_1$ so that $A_1B_A$ is perpendicular on $BB_1$ and $A_1C_A$ is perpendicular on $CC_1$. Lines $B_AC_A$ and $BC$ intersect at the point $T_A$ . Define in the same way the points $T_B$ and $T_C$ . Prove that points $T_A, T_B$, and $T_C$ are collinear.

Given a circle $\omega$, a point $A$ lying inside $\omega$, and point $B$ ($B \ne A$). All possible triangles $BXY$ are considered, such that the points $X$ and $Y$ lie on $\omega$ and the chord $XY$ passes through the point $A$. Prove that the centers of the circumcircles of the triangles $BXY$ lie on the same straight line.

Two circles $S_1$ and $S_2$ touch externally at $F$. their external common tangent touches $S_1$ at $A$ and $S_2$ at $B$. A line, parallel to $AB$ and tangent to $S_2$ at $C$, intersects $S_1$ at $D$ and $E$. Prove that points $A,F,C$ are collinear. (A. Kalinin)
