Two circles k1k_1 and k2k_2 with centers O1O_1 and O2O_2 are tangent to each other externally at point OO. Points XX and YY on k1k_1 and k2k_2 respectively are such that rays O1XO_1X and O2YO_2Y are parallel and codirectional. Prove that two tangents from XX to k2k_2 and two tangents from YY to k1k_1 touch the same circle passing through OO.

The incircle of a non-isosceles triangle ABCABC touches ABAB at point CC'. The circle with diameter BCBC' meets the incircle and the bisector of angle BB again at points A1A_1 and A2A_2 respectively. The circle with diameter ACAC' meets the incircle and the bisector of angle AA again at points B1B_1 and B2B_2 respectively. Prove that lines AB,A1B1,A2B2AB, A_1B_1, A_2B_2 concur.
