Is a line associated with antipodal points (the fact, it is the generalization of Simson line) known?

First time, I found a line associated with antipodal points, detail: Let $ABC$ be a triangle, $(C)$ is circumconic of $ABC$. $P$ and $P'$ are two antipodal points. Construct three lines through $P'$ ...

A new theorem (discovered in 2013) equivalent to Brianchon theorem (the old theorem) discovered in XIX century?

In 2013, I found a new problem as follows: Let six points $A_1$, $A_2$, ...$A_6$ lie on a circle $(O_1)$, and the six points $B_1$, $B_2$,...,$B_6$ lie on another circle $(O_2)$. If the quadruples $...
