Let $ABC$ be triangle with circumcenter $(O)$ and orthocenter $H$. $BH, CH$ intersect $(O)$ again at $K, L$ respectively. Lines through $H$ parallel to $AB, AC$ intersects $AC, AB$ at $E, F$ respectively. Point $D$ such that $HKDL$ is a parallelogram. Prove that lines $KE, LF$ and $AD$ are concurrent at a point on $OH$.

Two circles and Three line concurrency

Two circles $W_1$ and $W_2$ with equal radii intersect at P and Q. Points B and C are located on the circles$W_1$ and $W_2$ so that they are inside the circles $W_2$ and $W_1$, respectively. Also, points X and Y distinct from P are located on $W_1$ and $W_2$, respectively, so that:
$$\angle{CPQ} = \angle{CXQ}  \text{ and } \angle{BPQ} = \angle{BYQ}.$$The intersection point of the circumcircles of triangles XPC and YPB is called S. Prove that BC, XY and QS are concurrent.
Thanks.

In triangle $ABC$ with $AB<AC$ and $AB+AC=2BC$, let $M$ be the midpoint of $\overline{BC}$. Choose point $P$ on the extension of $\overline{BA}$ past $A$ and point $Q$ on segment $\overline{AC}$ such that $M$ lies on $\overline{PQ}$. Let $X$ be on the opposite side of $\overline{AB}$ from $C$ such that $\overline{AX} \parallel \overline{BC}$ and $AX=AP=AQ$. Let $\overline{BX}$ intersect the circumcircle of $BMQ$ again at $Y \neq B$, and let $\overline{CX}$ intersect the circumcircle of $CMP$ again at $Z \neq C$. Prove that $A$, $Y$, and $Z$ are collinear.

Clearly $(a,b,c)\to(|a|,|b|,|c|)$ yields a stronger inequality, so let $a$, $b$, $c\ge0$. We need to show that
\[\sum_{\rm cyc}\frac{ab}{c^2+a^2+1}=\sum_{\rm cyc}\frac{3ab}{4c^2+4a^2+b^2}\le1,\]or
\[\sum_{\rm cyc}\left(\frac34-\frac{3ab}{4c^2+4a^2+b^2}\right)=\sum_{\rm cyc}\frac{12c^2+3(2a-b)^2}{4\left(4c^2+4a^2+b^2\right)}\ge3\times\frac34-1=\frac54.\]By C-S, we have
\[\sum_{\rm cyc}\frac{12c^2+3(2a-b)^2}{4c^2+4a^2+b^2}\ge\frac{\left\{\sum\limits_{\rm cyc}\left[12c^2+3(2a-b)^2\right]\right\}^2}{\sum\limits_{\rm cyc}\left[12c^2+3(2a-b)^2\right]\left(4c^2+4a^2+b^2\right)}.\]Therefore, it suffices to show that
\[\left\{\sum\limits_{\rm cyc}\left[12c^2+3(2a-b)^2\right]\right\}^2\ge5\sum\limits_{\rm cyc}\left[12c^2+3(2a-b)^2\right]\left(4c^2+4a^2+b^2\right).\]This is a fourth degree polynomial inequality, so we have
\begin{align*}
\text{LHS}-\text{RHS}={}&\frac1{13}\sum_{\rm cyc}\left(39a^2-39c^2-78ab-10ac+88bc\right)^2\\
&+\frac{290}{13}\sum_{\rm cyc}a^2(b-c)^2\ge0.
\end{align*}Explanation

Could you please clarify how you obtained this equation? It seems complicated.
