In triangle $\vartriangle ABC$, we have marked points $A_1$ on side $BC, B_1$ on side $AC$, and $C_1$ on side $AB$ so that $AA_1$ is an altitude, $BB_1$ is a median, and $CC_1$ is an angle bisector. It is known that $\vartriangle A_1B_1C_1$ is equilateral. Prove that $\vartriangle ABC$ is equilateral too. (Note: A median connects a vertex of a triangle with the midpoint of the opposite side. Thus, for median $BB_1$ we know that $B_1$ is the midpoint of side $AC$ in $\vartriangle ABC$.)

Circles $k_1$ and $k_2$ intersect in points $A$ and $B$, such that $k_1$ passes through the center $O$ of the circle $k_2$. The line $p$ intersects $k_1$ in points $K$ and $O$ and $k_2$ in points $L$ and $M$, such that the point $L$ is between $K$ and $O$. The point $P$ is orthogonal projection of the point $L$ to the line $AB$. Prove that the line $KP$ is parallel to the $M-$median of the triangle $ABM$. [i]Matko Ljulj[/i]

Given a triangle $ABC$ with side $AB$ greater than $BC$, let $M$ be the midpoint of $AC$ and $L$ be the point at which the bisector of angle $\angle B$ intersects side $AC$.

Show that $ED$ is perpendicular to $BL$.
