1) The proper place for the recital of Hallel is immediately after Shacharis.
Even though Tefilah of Musaf is a more common recitation than Hallel and thus should really be recited first (due to the Halachic rule of Tadir V'She'aino Tadir, Tadir Kodem, the item that is said/performed more often precedes the less common item) still Hallel is first due to us wanting, for various reasons, to recite it in conjunction with Shacharis. (See Biur Halacha Siman 422 Dibur Hamaschil V'Korim. See also Shulchan Aruch HaRav Siman 131:5 where he says it's due to "Zrizim Makdimin L'Mitzvos, our eagerness to fulfill this Mitzvah as early as possible". See also Shu"t Yaskil Avdi, from the great Mekubal and Posek Rav Ovadiah Ha'adayah Zatzal, Vol. 8 Siman 20:55, where he writes that Hallel is a continuation of Ya'aleh V'Yavo and also that by saying Hallel in the place where Tachanun is usually recited, it is a proclamation of respect for this exalted day. See also Igros Moshe Orach Chaim Vol. 3 Siman 70 for additional reasoning)
2) The Shliach Tzibur may not talk, or otherwise make an interruption (unless it is related to the Tefilah at hand) from when he begins Shemona Esrei until after Kadish Tiskabel is recited after Hallel. (See Shu"t MaHarsham Vol. 1 Siman 1.)
Some Poskim rule that all members of the congregation may not talk or make unnecessary interruptions between the end of their Shemona Esrei and their recitation of Hallel; many Poskim, however, reject this. (See Igros Moshe ibid. and Mishna Berura Siman 123:18 where he seems to rule that this is a rule strictly for the Shliach Tzibur and not for individuals.)

Question:
Is it permissible for a man to dye his hair?
Answer:
A man may not dye his hair if doing so for beauty or to hide white hair etc. as this is a biblical transgression of "Lo Tilbash" not to wear (or otherwise imitate) the ways of the opposite gender.
This includes dying hair, plucking out even one white hair for a man, wearing clothing of the opposite gender, men shaving areas of the body that are generally shaved by women, etc.
These are very severe prohibitions and a Rav should be consulted to determine what does and does not fall into the prohibition of Lo Tilbash.

Suffering is substitute for prophecy.
The purpose of suffering is to teach us to improve. Suffering is an agent of the Almighty to enlighten our path.
A person who sees he is suffering should check his behavior. He should try to find negative actions about which he was previously unaware.
He should also check his good deeds, perhaps there's something missing in their quality. The way to check is to look for a "measure for measure" to find something improper for which we deserve this suffering.
