Problem Statement

In the acute triangle ABCABC, the altitude AHAH is drawn. Using segments AB,BH,CHAB,BH,CH and ACAC as diameters circles ω1,ω2,ω3\omega_1, \omega_2, \omega_3 and ω4\omega_4 are constructed respectively. Besides the point HH, the circles ω1\omega_1 and ω3\omega_3 intersect at the point P,P, and the circles ω2\omega_2 and ω4\omega_4 interext at point QQ. The lines BQBQ and CPCP intersect at point NN. Prove that this point lies on the midline of triangle ABCABC, which is parallel to BCBC.
