Let $ABC$ be an acute scalene triangle and let $\omega$ be its Euler circle. The tangent $t_A$ of $\omega$ at the foot of the height $A$ of the triangle ABC, intersects the circle of diameter $AB$ at the point $K_A$ for the second time. The line determined by the feet of the heights $A$ and $C$ of the triangle $ABC$ intersects the lines $AK_A$ and $BK_A$ at the points $L_A$ and $M_A$, respectively, and the lines $t_A$ and $CM_A$ intersect at the point $N_A$. Points $K_B, L_B, M_B, N_B$ and $K_C, L_C, M_C, N_C$ are defined similarly for $(B, C, A)$ and $(C, A, B)$ respectively. Show that the lines $L_AN_A, L_BN_B,$ and $L_CN_C$ are concurrent.
