Let H, E, F be the points on the sides BC, CA, AB of triangle ABC such that H is half way around the perimeter from A, E half way around from B, and F half way around from C. AH, BE, CF are concurrent. This point of concurrent is called the Nagel point of the triangle, after C. H. Nagel (1803-1882)).
