Let $ABC$ be a triangle. The ex-circles touch sides $BC, CA$ and $AB$ at points $U, V$ and $W$, respectively. Be $r_u$ a straight line that passes through $U$ and is perpendicular to $BC$, $r_v$ the straight line that passes through $V$ and is perpendicular to $AC$ and $r_w$ the straight line that passes through W and is perpendicular to $AB$. Prove that the lines $r_u$, $r_v$ and $r_w$ pass through the same point.
