$AB$ and $AC$ are tangents to a circle $\omega$ with center $O$ at $B,C$ respectively. Point $P$ is a variable point on minor arc $BC$. The tangent at $P$ to $\omega$ meets $AB,AC$ at $D,E$ respectively. $AO$ meets $BP,CP$ at $U,V$ respectively. The line through $P$ perpendicular to $AB$ intersects $DV$ at $M$, and the line through $P$ perpendicular to $AC$ intersects $EU$ at $N$. Prove that as $P$ varies, $MN$ passes through a fixed point.

The points $P$ and $Q$ on the side $AC$ of the non-isosceles $\Delta ABC$ are such that $\angle ABP=\angle QBC<\frac{1}{2}\angle ABC$. The angle bisectors of $\angle A$ and $\angle C$ intersect the segment $BP$ in points $K$ and $L$ and the segment $BQ$ in points $M$ and $N$, respectively. Prove that $AC$,$KN$, and $LM$ are concurrent.

Given an acute triangle $ABC$, let $P$ be an arbitrary point on segment $BC$. A line passing through $P$ and perpendicular to $AC$ intersects $AB$ at $P_b$. A line passing through $P$ and perpendicular to $AB$ intersects $AC$ at $P_c$.

Two lines $m$ and $n$ intersect in a unique point $P$. A point $M$ moves along $m$ with constant speed, while another point $N$ moves along $n$ with the same speed. They both pass through the point $P$, but not at the same time. Show that there is a fixed point $Q \ne P$ such that the points $P,Q,M$ and $N$ lie on a common circle all the time.
