Let $N$ be midpoint of the side $AB$ of a triangle $ABC$ with $\angle A$ greater than $\angle B$. Let $D$ be a point on the ray $AC$ such that $CD=BC$ and $P$ be a point on the ray $DN$ which lies on the same side of $BC$ as $A$ and satisfies the condition $\angle PBC =\angle A$. The lines $PC$ and $AB$ intersect at $E$, and the lines $BC$ and $DP$ intersect at $T$. Determine the value of $\frac{BC}{TC} - \frac{EA}{EB}$.
