Triangle $\vartriangle ABC$ is isosceles with $AC = AB$, $BC = 1$, and $\angle BAC = 36^o$. Let $\omega$ be a circle with center B and radius $r_{\omega}= \frac{P_{ABC}}{4}$, where $P_{ABC}$ denotes the perimeter of $\vartriangle ABC$. Let $\omega$ intersect line $AB$ at $P$ and line $BC$ at $Q$. Let $I_B$ be the center of the excircle with of $\vartriangle ABC$ with respect to point $B$, and let $BI_B$ intersect $P Q$ at $S$. We draw a tangent line from $S$ to $\odot I_B$ that intersects $\odot I_B$ at point $T$. Compute the length of ST.

Constant points $B$ and $C$ lie on the circle $\omega$. The point middle of $BC$ is named $M$ by us. Assume that $A$ is a variable point on the $\omega$ and $H$ is the orthocenter of the triangle $ABC$. From the point $H$ we drop a perpendicular line to $MH$ to intersect the lines $AB$ and $AC$ at $X$ and $Y$ respectively. Prove that with the movement of $A$ on the $\omega$, the orthocenter of the triangle $AXY$ also moves on a circle.
