OM = SIGMA1 links

Hi Mirek, Brent, Barry, David, ... and all those who could be interested in the INTRO to Church thesis, I have to go, actually. Just to prepare yourself to what will follow, below are recent links in the list . It could be helpful to revise a bit, or to ask last questions. I will ASAP come b
