In an acute, non-isosceles triangle ABCABC the midpoints of ACAC and ABAB are B1B_1 and C1C_1 respectively. A point DD lies on BCBC with CC between BB and DD. The point FF is such that AFC\angle AFC is a right angle and DCF=FCA\angle DCF = \angle FCA. The point GG is such that AGB\angle AGB is a right angle and CBG=GBA\angle CBG = \angle GBA. Prove that B1B_1, C1C_1, FF and GG are collinear.
